Stack Up the Fun

Kids can stack the 10 wooden cars in this parking tower and keep track of their progress with the sliding counter. Remove a car and the stack and counter drop down. Cleverly designed, this toy can inspire all kinds of learning from counting and color recognition to sorting and vocabulary building. The wooden car shapes, each with its own color and number, feature a sturdy plastic peg that naturally promotes the pincer grasp needed for writing readiness. Add in the numerous other movements involved in playing with this toy—stacking, pulling, slotting in, lifting up, balancing, and more—and you have a multifaceted skill-builder that promotes well-rounded fine motor skills in a playful way. As children slot the cars into the top of the garage the retrieve them from the bottom, they’ll be engaging hand-eye coordination as well as cognitive and problem-solving skills. As they explore the possibilities of stacking, grouping, and lining up the pieces outside of the frame, they’ll engage creativity too. There are unlimited ways to play with this seemingly simple toy — and unlimited ways to learn.
