Yes, there is a difference! A "cube" refers to a shape with all equal sides, whereas a "box" is an object or something with a border and can be varying sizes. Ex: Write your name in the yellow box on your page. Ex: Dice are cube-shaped. Ex: Put the toys back into the box. Ex: The recipe says to cut the cheese into cubes.
