 Great toy for stacking - excellent for developing fine motor skillsDec 03, 2007
By Cerebral Mom
"Mom to child w cerebral palsy, constant researcher"
This can be a fun toy for babies and toddlers, giving them their first chance to build towers. You can have your child group or stack by color or shape.
This toy won the Canadian Concours International du Jouet Educatif Certificate of Excellence. The manufacturer, Quercetti, states that all of their toys are made completely in Italy.
A similar toy, (Learning Resources Stacking Shapes Pegboard), won the 2005 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award.
For kids with special needs (including cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, hypotonia, limb-kinetic apraxia, dyspraxia, and other muscle and movement disorders), these can be a great way for them to experience the fun of stacking towers.
This is the easiest set of stacking pegs I've seen. Their large size pegs (about 4-5cm high and wide) are easy for kids to hold, and the bump at the bottom makes them very easy to stack. There is no resistance (like there is with Duplos, for example); the child simply places one on top of the other. Once a peg has been placed on another, the stack won't fall down until your child knocks it down, which is half the fun!
I wish there were a star rating system for "appropriateness for kids with special needs" or "value for developing fine motor skills" - each would have received 5 stars.
Therapeutic play suggestions:
Hold each peg just out of reach of the child at various angles (e.g. sit behind your child and hold up a peg so that the child has to turn his body and extend his arm to reach for it, then switch sides for the next peg).
For children who can stand with one arm supporting themselves on a table, put the base on a table (or couch) at the child's waist height. Put all the pieces on the floor (on both sides of the child) so that the child has to bend or squat down to pick them up.

Great learning toyOct 09, 2009
By Lanina R. Spencer
My daughter is 16 months, and I wish I would have bought this toy sooner. She is loving stacking the pegs, andd putting them off and on the board. She is a hard one to get entertained, so I am impressed. I can see the toy will grow with her too. We will be able to use it for sorting and patterns when she is older. Great toy!

 Getting a lot of use!Jan 18, 2008
By Western MA Mom
I gave this to my 14 month old daughter for Christmas, and she is really enjoying it and getting a lot of use out of it. I think she is at just the right age for it, developmentally - she loves stacking the pegs up as high as she can until the tower falls down. The pieces are a nice large size for small hands. A very simple and straighforward toy...which I consider good - no lights, music or bells, just a simple educational toy.
Great free-play learning toyJan 18, 2012
By Jenn
This was a gift for our 18 month old, but our 3 and 7 year olds have also played with it. Definitely best for toddlers, but all kids enjoy the imagination-driven free play that this toy offers.
Good solid toyDec 27, 2011
By M. C.
"lovestoread"
my 2 year old received this as a xmas gift. I like, and she likes it. Sturdy and you can teach and learn many things. Colors, numbers, sorting etc, also helps to build fine motor skills.
