Rainbow Shape-Matching Stacking Blocks

Shapes to stack, sort by colour and match up, in a rainbow palette that earns its place on the shelf once the stacking is done. Your child works out which piece goes where, then invents a different rule and does the whole thing again, which is the bit you cannot buy in a toy that only has one answer.

Materials

Solid wood with a painted finish.

Care

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm water and a little mild dish soap, then dry straight away. Do not soak the wood, and skip bleach and abrasive cleaners. An occasional rub of food-grade mineral oil or beeswax polish keeps the wood from drying out.

Please note

Small parts. Best with an adult nearby, and not for a child who still puts things in their mouth.

One for the shelf and the floor both.
