Fisher-Price Baby Toy Stack & Roll Cups, 10-Piece Stacking & Nesting Activity for Developmental Play Infants Ages 6+ Months

We got this when my daughter was around 7 to 8 months. I think this would have appealed to her at an earlier age, as well, because of the vibrant colors and the jingly yellow ball. She loved the yellow ball right off the bat and held it continually during playtime for the next few weeks. The ball seems to be the perfect size for little hands and is a cheery yellow with a smiley face and happy jingle. Soon she was also dumping the cups out of the plastic basket they are kept in, examining them, banging them together, and sometimes excitedly kicking and scattering a noisy pile of cups. Now at 11 months she has been starting to set them back in the basket, put toys in the cups, and nest them. I purchased this after reading all the high reviews and I was not disappointed. I love that this toy is so open ended. There are many things to do and it can grow with baby. The cups can be stacked up, nested within each other, and snapped into balls. They are fun to bang together and knock down (I stack them loosely). Mom and Dad find lots of ways to use these, too. I like to make the bowls into boats the small stuffed animals sit in, put finger puppets in the holes, set them on our heads as hats, rub the ridged edges together, and make clip clop noises while clapping them together (Monty Python Holy Grail coconut style). My husband showed her how to peek through the holes in the cups and also hides toys underneath them. When she is older, we can use the numbers that are molded into the sides of the cups. We can also name colors (they are in Roy G. Biv order) and match the different colored cups to other toys with the same color. I expect we will be using the stack and roll cups in some fashion for the next several months, at least. Out of the various toys so far this has probably been the one shown the most continual interest - meaning interest in playing with during one sitting and interest in over a period of time. Although toys that do things (speak, flash lights, etc.) are fun for a little while, I much prefer toys you do things *with*. If I were to choose a baby toy for a gift, this would very likely be it.

This is one of the most fun and educational toys you can buy for your baby - we tend to prefer wood toys, but there's no equivalent to this that I've found for developing spatial relationships, thinking about how things fit together, learning about shape and size and color. There is SO much to do with this toy, and both my kids played with it for hours. The smiley-face rattle ball is a delight for kids, too. My oldest daughter learned to crawl because she was determined to catch that ball as it rolled around - that's how much she absolutely loved it. And that's really just the tip of the iceberg - this toys is great for developing fine motor skills as babies try to stack them and then put them together. Take apart! Put together! Stack! Unstack! We also used them for peekaboo and developing ideas about "permanence" - my husband was always experimenting with what our babies knew about object permanence using these cups. For example: he would hide a little toy under the orange cup in front of a baby, slide it behind his back, and slide it out again with the toy under the red cup. The surprise of this seemed to delight my kids. And the fact that these are balls and not cups also makes a huge difference in the entertainment factor. Later we used the balls as little "homes" in imaginative play - beehives for stuffed bees or spaceships for pretend aliens. We've given this as a gift to many people with babies - it doesn't look like much on the surface, but if I had to have just ONE toy for a baby, this might be it. (I also like that it's not that satisfying to chew on, because it IS plastic - neither of my kids chewed on it much, even though they played with it a lot.) This is intended for babies, but preschoolers at our house always gravitate toward it and build with it, too - not for hours, but it gets a lot of attention.

I know I'm probably a big kid but I got these in today and we have been playing with these a few hours. The bowls are larger then expected, bigger then the stacking cups we own but my baby loves to knock things over and he is also into balls right now. It's really easy to make them into balls, they just easily snap together and snap apart but this will be difficult for young babies to unsnap. When you stack them up they snap too which are different then the stacking cups we own but it's difficult for babies to knock over, the whole tower would fall but you don't have to snap them when stacking but it's harder to stack right. That's my only complaint.. My baby loves to knock them over, teeth on them and play with the balls. He loves the little yellow smiley rattle ball too. You can also use other balls you own like the Einstein ones and put them into the balls as well. It's also a great toy for peek-a-boo because you can hide the yellow ball under a bowl by itself and see if the baby knows or remembers where it is hidden. You can stack these. You can put them into balls and stack the balls which is a nice challenge. You can nest them. Make each one into balls. Put the smiley rattle ball into a larger ball that you make. You can make a ball and put into a larger ball that you create. You can hide the yellow ball under the bowl and see if baby can find it or remember where you put it or even other smaller toys. We just got these in today and I'm sure we will find more uses for them and I see them being a long lived toy. It's very versatile! I hope you found my information helpful. I definitely recommend these. It's also great for learning colors and numbers too. They even have little shapes on the top of them. Super cute!! :)

Hay mil posibilidades de jugar, mi hijo ha pasado incontables horas con sus piezas. A medida que él iba creciendo le iba encontrando diferentes formas de colocarlas, en bolas, pirámide, pirámide con bolas o alternándolas...

Habe es Verschenkt und das Kind ist jetzt noch aus dem Häuschen wenn es damit spielt! Unter anderem die kleine gelbe Kugel (rassel) Und die Funktion der Halbkugeln sind Super, entweder als Turm, Als mehrere kugeln, oder super zum verstaun als ein Größere Kugel! Die Dinger halten auch jede Menge aus selbst wenn sie rumgeworfen oder sonstwas werden... Und man kann damit gut Motorik Farben und Zahlen lernen! Von meiner Seite sehr empfehlenswert!!! :)

Very versatile and fun toy. They can stack on top of each other and click together to create balls. Kids love it!
