5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best toys I ever got for my kids!, September 10, 2006

This review is from: Nest & Stack Buckets (Toy)

I bought this after hearing how much my son (then 6 monthos old) loved the stacking cups at his 'school'. He is now about to turn 3 and still enjoys them, as does his baby sister. It's wonderful to see how both of them have played with these at different times. You can see little engineering minds being nurtured as they nest, stack - knock over towers!

I would love it just for that - but this also includes the sorting shapes to help them work on problem solving too! Some of the cups and wee shapes have holes, which adds to the fun at bath time. The buckets would be fun at bath time anyway (and useful for rinsing hair and little bodies) but it's great for them to explore the way the water goes through the holes of some of them.

Then we've got help learning to count... each of the inner cups/buckets has a number on it, (with the large bucket with the lid being un-numbered #11, but still stackable) and the appropriate number of *things* on each (stars, kitty face, etc.)

This set is very durable - we've had it over two years and only the handle of the bucket broke (I stepped on it) but that is not a big deal. The one annoying thing was that the handle of the bucket kept coming off. I stepped on one of the cups also, and it has some white marks where the plastic bent, but it is still basically fine and continues to stack well. The pieces are well made enough that, if you have the cups in the right order, they stack to make a very stable and tall tower... which is just so much fun to knock over. My son still loves these cups, and my daughter really enjoys them too - she is just learning the joys of knocking down towers.

Of course my son has other toys he plays with, especially now that he's growing older, but I've heard people say they don't want to 'waste' money on toys for babies - this money would not be wasted. It's great developmentally - helping build a variety of skills and understanding about the world - and it is one of those great simple toys that has an infinite number of ways to be played with.

This review is from: Nest & Stack Buckets (Toy)

The buckets are made of durable, colorful plastic, and were purchased for my grandaughter's first birthday gift. She really enjoys them, but the handle that is on the largest bucket keeps coming undone, so she cannot carry it around. I am tempted to return it and try one more time, as the handle is driving us all crazy. We snap it back on, and a minute later is has slipped loose again. Very frustrating!

I bought this for my 1 year old nephew and he absolutely loves it.
He apparently plays with it every day. He has learned to fit them together and then stack them and know them over. He seems fascinated with this product and would highly recommend it.
