Navigating the world of speedcubing as a parent can be challenging but rewarding. At SpeedCubeShop, we aim to make this journey enjoyable and educational for both you and your child with our parents section. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand what SpeedCubeShop offers and how you can support your child’s cubing passion, referencing various resources from our blog, the speed cube source.
1. Quiet Cubes and Ways to Dampen Sound
Speedcubing can sometimes be noisy, but there are solutions to keep the peace at home. Our blog How to make a speed cube quieter highlights cubes designed with softer mechanisms to reduce noise. Additionally, using a heavy lubricant can significantly dampen the sound of turning, making the activity quieter and more enjoyable. Lubricants like our "Nebula" or "Lunar" are specifically designed to minimize noise while enhancing cube performance.

2. Ways to Get Involved with Your Child
Getting involved with your child's hobby is a great way to bond. Our blog Rubik’s Cubes for Kids: What Are Your Options provides an overview of various cube types suitable for different skill levels. To further engage, use our Easy Solve Guide to learn the basics of solving a cube. This guide simplifies the solving process, allowing you to learn alongside your child and offer meaningful support. Consider setting aside regular “cubing time” where you both practice solving together, which can be a fun and interactive way to connect. Visit our parents section for more tips on how to engage with your child's cubing hobby.
3. Finding Competitions and Groups
Joining a community can enhance your child’s cubing experience. The World Cube Association (WCA) organizes competitions worldwide, providing a platform for cubers to compete and connect. Our blog, Parents' Guide to WCA Competitions, offers a comprehensive overview of these events. Additionally, our Rubik's Cube Competitions blog can help you understand what to expect at these competitions. Encourage your child to join our Reddit or Discord server to meet fellow enthusiasts and stay updated on the latest events. These platforms are great for sharing experiences, asking questions, and getting advice from other cubers. For more information, check our parents section to find relevant resources and community links.
4. Helpful Resources
At SpeedCubeShop, we believe in providing valuable resources to our customers. Our blog Best Cubing Resources, lists various resources, including our YouTube channel, which features tutorials, product reviews, and cubing tips. Team SCS also shares advanced techniques and insights into professional cubing, helping your child improve their skills and stay motivated. We also offer downloadable guides and eBooks that cover a range of topics from beginner to advanced cubing. Explore our parents section for a curated list of these helpful resources.
5. Sharing Wishlists
With holidays and special occasions, it can be challenging to know exactly what your child wants. We offer a wishlist feature on our store that allows your child to create and share their wishlist with family and friends. This ensures they receive the cubes and accessories they desire, making gift-giving easier and more enjoyable. Our wishlist feature is user-friendly and can be updated as your child's preferences evolve.
6. Recommended Flashcards
Learning algorithms is a crucial part of speedcubing. Our CFOP Algorithm Flashcards are a fantastic tool for this purpose.

7. Quality Matters: You Get What You Pay For
When it comes to speedcubes, quality matters. While cheaper cubes might seem like a good deal, they often lack the durability and performance of more expensive models. Our blog, Choosing the Best 3x3 for Speedcubing, explains the benefits of investing in a high-quality cube. A high-quality cube can enhance your child’s cubing experience by providing smoother turns and greater longevity. High-quality cubes also come with better tensioning and lubrication systems, which can make a significant difference in performance.
