More about Shashibo OCTA Blue Planet

There is something grounding about holding a small blue world, and the Blue Planet OCTA makes it literal. As the lightest entry into Shashibo, it opens into more than 30 shapes with 28 ultra strong magnets. The moves are approachable, so it suits a first-time folder or a kid looking for a focused, screen-free challenge.

Its compact size makes it a great travel companion, especially for flights and long drives. Memorizing the steps for a shape exercises working memory, and the motion itself is quietly calming. It is recommended for ages 8 and older. Pair it with the Blue Planet ICOSA XL and watch your little world orbit something much bigger.

How it compares on this shelf

Where Shashibo OCTA Cosmos looks outward to the stars, Shashibo OCTA Blue Planet looks back at Earth, and that is the main way these two space-adjacent minis differ. Blue Planet's earthy, oceanic art pairs with the ICOSA XL Blue Planet, which makes the OCTA read as a small moon beside a larger world when the two are joined. As an OCTA it carries the same 28 magnets and 30-plus shapes as its shelf-mates, and it is the lowest-priced way into the Blue Planet design.

Fun and a Big Hit!

I bought this magnetic puzzle cube as a gift, and the kid was extremely happy with it! It was a fun, unique gift and kept them entertained. The magnetic pieces make it easy to play with and enjoy. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking for a fun gift for a kid!

Good for all ages!

Just unboxed today, it arrived while my 5 year old was having a meltdown and couldnt be calmed, I started playing with it next to her and in a few minutes she calmed down to ask 'whats that?' She asked to play with it. Now been playing with it for an hour and a half. Found a shape she decided looked like a spaceship, been playing with that ONE shape for the past 20 mins. I liked playing with it, she obviously likes playing with it. The movement is smooth and the clicks are satisfying, its regulating to see the patterns form and feel it shift. It seems high quality, the stickers are very strong, its heavy for its size, its been dropped multiple times already and seems totally fine. Seems too difficult for my 3 year old, or maybe she just needs to get the hang of it, but shes tried to force the stickers the wrong way a few times and it hasnt broken. Really pretty toy, I got the 'Fire Goddess' cube and the designs go well together. Honestly it was worth the $25 just to calm that meltdown and give us a couple hours of peaceful, regulated play. If it can repeat it itll be worth its weight in gold. And Im sure Ill still enjoy shutting my brain down with it sometimes. Do recommend!

Questions about Shashibo OCTA Blue Planet

Is Blue Planet a good OCTA for flights and road trips?

It is one of the compact OCTA cubes, made to fit a pocket or carry-on and to run without batteries. A quiet, hands-busy puzzle like this suits long stretches of sitting still.

What makes it different from the Cosmos OCTA?

Mostly the artwork. Blue Planet is Earth-inspired, with land and ocean tones, while Cosmos is starry and night-sky. The OCTA form, the 28 magnets and the 30-plus shape count are identical on both.

Does it work with my DODECA cubes?

Yes. Every Shashibo, whatever the size or design, joins through the magnets on its outer faces, so the Blue Planet OCTA can attach to a DODECA or to the ICOSA XL Blue Planet.
