Editorial Review

BRIO's all-wood stacking clown is one stacking toy that's sure to light up your child's eyes. Brightly painted wooden rings in differing shapes and sizes combine on a 9.75-inch-high post with flat circular base to create a colorful clown complete with smiling face, round collar, and tall hat. The rings can be placed on the post in any order--which means frustration is minimal for even the youngest child. Older children learn about sorting and sequencing as they re-create the friendly clown. --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

Sized perfectly for small hands, this charming stacking toy is sure to bring a smile to your little one's face. The Stacking Clown is made of solid wood. His bright colored body is finished with an extra high gloss paint. We love the clown's big happy smile. The Stacking Clown has a wooden stand with 8 body pieces for stacking. The Stacking Clown is finished with completely non-toxic, child-friendly substances. Wipe with dry or slightly damp cloth to clean. Dry right away. Lovingly designed in Sweden and made in China under Brio's direct supervision.

This review is from: BRIO Stacking Clown (Toy)

My son got this for his first birthday, and at first it was challenging for him to fit the pieces over the central peg. The holes are a good bit smaller than a standard toddler stacking toy and require better control. After a few days and with a little help he soon caught on. The clown's hat which crowns the piece was fascinating to him as it keeps the pieces from coming off or being put on. He loved putting the pieces on, putting the hat on and then *shaking* the pieces off. As he's gotten older, he's become much more adept at putting the pieces together in the "correct" order, although he still thinks its a lot of fun to put together in different configurations. After three plus years we've lost the little collar, but all the pieces are still in great shape in spite of drool and lots of imaginative play. (Stringing the pieces on shoelaces as beads for instance.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Fun, November 20, 2002

My daughter was given this as a secondhand toy and it looks like it is brand new. She enjoyed looking at it and knocking it over as an infant and now at 2 she has mastered stacking the rings and knowing the hat has to go on last. The only problem is the smaller rings and hat can fit very easily in a child's mouth we have had to put the hat and the smaller rings away until she stopped putting them in her mouth.

This review is from: BRIO Stacking Clown (Toy)

My son, who is now 4, wasn't into this kind of toys and I thought it was just a waste of money, but his 18 months old brother was absolutly delighted when he found it in the closet. It's one of his favorite toys now. This wooden stacker is made in Sweden in the same way it used to be made a hundred years ago and if nothing else it will teach your child to appreciate real, quality things in life.
