How To Get Kids To Stop Playing Fortnite

This post is sponsored by BSM Media, but all opinions are my own. 


I admit, I don't get most of the games my daughter is playing. In my day, it was Mario. And Contra. Racing on the Power Pad.

Now it's Minecraft. Five Night's At Freddy's.

And something called Fortnite. Do your kids play Fortnite? Because mine do. Sometimes I worry my daughter is staring at the screen entirely too much, so I like to find things to get her to set it down.

Enter Circuit Cubes, a wonderful invention to show kids how circuits work.

My daughter is 11, and she's in the stage where she can be moody. But when she saw this, she immediately wanted to try it out. She's actually in a dress, because we found it by our door when we came home from her violin recital. She didn't even want to change.

It is easy to set up. You basically have a bunch of parts that you can hook up, and yes, you can build a little car and watch it go! It's a cool Stem/Steam toy, so this is also perfect for those who homeschool.

It comes with a booklet with instructions on how to build various things.

It comes with bricks to build everything but yes, you can use your own too if you prefer another color or want to build something else. The possibilities are truly endless.

As you see, Natalie got her creation to immediately light up, which thrilled her.

Look! She got the flashlight to work!

If you're curious on how bright the light is, well:

Yes, she reminds me of a possessed child in a horror flick. (But the Circuit Cube toy that we received is called Bright Lights, so it's telling the truth..)


Natalie didn't follow the book when she did this creation. She just hooked a bunch of things up, turned it on, and watched it spin around the room:

Ruby the Cat was all, "What is this?"

If your child wants to learn more, check out the Circuit Cube Club. Natalie says she's going to do that:

Oh, and it's super easy to keep the battery cube charged. It comes with a USB cord.

It charges quickly, so your child can get to creating again!

Want your kids to step away from a screen? Well, you can buy your own Circuit Cubes on Amazon here. It's under $40!

You can also get a wheels version on Amazon here as well as as a Smart Art one here. These would be perfect as a gift for kids. Sometimes it can be difficult trying to figure out what to buy tweens, so I highly recommend these.

My daughter was truly transfixed whenever her creation "came alive."
