Den Enkeln gefallen die Hüpfsteine sehr. Die Steine sind sehr robust und die Phantasie für die Nutzung kennt keine Grenzen.

Qualité impeccable ma fille de 2 ans adore

excelentes para el desarrollo de los niños, ayuda al equilibrio y vienen en diferentes tamaños, sin duda quedo satisfecha 100% recomendado

I am delighted to have received these today .I first saw them in my granddaughters school and thought this is what Santa needs to bring her .I know she will be delighted to receive them on Christmas Day .

This review is of the Gonge Hilltops. The Hilltops are sold in a set of 5. They are made of a very hard, brightly colored and durable plastic. The underside is hollow which allows for the stones to be nested together for storage (much like one nests mixing bowls together). Being hollow does not effect the sturdiness or durability of this product. The underside of the hilltops has a non-slip rubber grip. We have used the stones on laminate flooring, carpet, grass, cement, and wood chips. None of the hilltops have ever shifted from the position that they were set. However, I would suggest that you be aware that uneven surfaces- such as the wood chips I mentioned - would effect the sturdiness and safety of the item.These were purchased for a special needs 3 year old to use indoors for practice with balance and color identification. Our children and neighbor friends -aged 3 thru13- also use these. They have a variety of ways to play with them: scattering them, lining them up, placing them in a circle, and making an obstacle course with them. I feel they encourage both structured and imaginative play.They have never scuffed or damaged any of our various flooring in any way.We also use these outside in the same manner that we use them indoors. The kids have used these for games such as tag (the stones are safe bases) and as parts of obstacle courses they create. The stones have endured the heat of summer and occasional rainstorms without being damaged. I do not know how much these would fade with continued exposure to the elements. I would recommend that, if you want to mantain their vibrancy, they be stored out of the elements when not in use.The picture I have included is to show the varying sizes of the stones. Please note that only the 5 hilltops with the arrows pointing at them are included with this purchase. The others that are shown here are Gonge Riverstones which can be purchased separately (which, by the way, I also recommend). I have never used the Hilltops independent of the Riverstones , nor have any of my children. I feel all of the children would be completely content with only playing with hilltop set, but I feel that adding the Riverstones set increases the enjoyment out of the product.As an added note: only 3 of the 5 Hilltops are larger than the largest Riverstones (Riverstones can be purchased separately). 2 of the hilltops are the same size as the largest Riverstones.I have also included an image of 1 green hilltop set down right side up next to 1 blue hilltop set upside down.My last image is of all 5 hilltops nested together for storage.
