Melissa & Doug Geometric Stacker

There is a Melissa & Doug Geometric Stacker sitting in my cupboard, waiting to be wrapped up and given to my little girl on Christmas morning and I can’t wait! Shape stackers are great toddler toys in general and this Geometric Stacker by Melissa and Doug is better than most.

This beautiful wooden stacking toy is actually 3 stackers in one so at the list price of $16.99 (or less at Amazon using the link above) it is amazing value. Shape stackers are great for learning hand-eye coordination, sorting by size and learning colors. Every young child should have a set of stacking rings, preferably a nice wooden one like this which makes a nice change from all the nasty plastic toddler toys on the market.

This Melissa & Doug Geometric Stacker consists of 3 sets of stacking rings, on one board. There are the traditional rings, octagons and interlocking squares – 25 pieces in all, all painted in bright colors with non-toxic paint. The difference in the shapes means that this toy will hold your child’s attention longer than other shape stackers. The rings and octagonal stackers are fairly simple but the interlocking blocks stacker requires a bit more skill and thought to put together correctly so will continue to challenge your child as their skills improve.

As with most wooden shape stackers, this toy does require supervision as it could be dangerous if a child falls on the stacking base when all the shapes are removed. For this reason it is recommended for children aged 2 and up but I plan to give it to my 13-month old for Christmas and just keep it out of reach when she’s not playing with me there to supervise.

Apart from its educational value and the fact it is made from wood, one of the things I personally love about the Melissa and Doug Geometric stacker is that it looks great. It is nice and colorful and will look fantastic in my little girl’s room which is important to me as I plan to store it on a high shelf out of reach (for safety reasons discussed previously), rather than in her toy box with the rest of her toys.

In summary, this is a great budget, simple toy that is ideal for toddlers and has great educational value. Buy now using the link below to get 29% off and a FREE shipping opportunity at Amazon:
