Fredun Shapur's [1] sweet graphics are reason enough to get these vintage Creative Playthings Cloth Cubes. The fact that they're in good, playable condition and come with the original box, too, is just gravy.
Of course, before you let your little design snob-in-training chew on those bad boys, you might want to consider some kid-friendly, non-persistent disinfecting technique, like, I don't know, microwaving or chemo. Who knows what could be growing in 35-year-old gravy?

[1] Who? There's hardly any info online about Shapur, who also did toy design for Naef, including these awesome stitching/sewing ponies. They're both sewing cards AND toys! There used to be camels, lions and sheep, too, back in the day, but now only the ponies run free. [naefstyle.jp]
