Choosing a Stacking Toy
Stacking toys are some of the first toys babies really play with. Stacking, balancing and knocking down builds hand-eye coordination and early problem solving.
We stock wooden stackers from Bigjigs Toys, stacking rings from Little Dutch and recycled-plastic stacking cups from Green Toys. Looking for shape sorters? See all our shape sorters.
Most of our stacking toys are for babies from 12 months, and a few start earlier.
What age are stacking toys for?
Soft stacking cups, like the Green Toys My First Stacking Cups, start at 6 months. Most wooden stackers are 12 months and up.
Wooden or plastic?
Most of ours are wooden, from Bigjigs Toys. The Green Toys cups are recycled plastic, so they are great in the bath.
Do they make a good first birthday present?
Yes, stacking toys are a lovely first birthday gift. See more gifts for 1-year-olds.
