Stack them up and knock them down. Toddlers never get tired of playing with these nesting boxes. The bright colors help to engage them. Most of the time, the parent or older sibling helps to build the tower, while the toddler can't wait to knock it down with glee. Fun and laughter guaranteed. Especially suitable for toddlers learning cause and effect. Besides that, toddlers also learn to perceive size of objects, as they try to fit a smaller box into a larger one.

Tips to get the best value out of this...

- While ELC/Mothercare used to sell these, one can now find other brands of colorful stacking and nesting boxes on Amazon.

- The cute graphics on the boxes allow you to double up on the functionality of this toy -- by teaching your little ones to count.
