Stacking Robots

Grant got these wood stacking robots for his fourth birthday and loves to play with them.  They are not a simple stacking toy. When adding a robot layer to the pile, you need to counter-weight by stacking the new robots a little off center. Otherwise, all of the robots will come crashing down.  I explained the principle of counter-weighting to Grant and showed him what happened with and without the counter-weight process. Once he understood this, he was able to stack the robots successfully on his own.  The toy comes with easy-to-difficult suggested ways to stack the robots.

I should mention that these robots are made of wood and often crash down onto the surface they are being stacked on. As such, the paint chips and the wood dents. This toy will not look brand-new for long.

Manufacturer recommended age: 3-7 years (per Amazon)
