As baby develops and grows it’s good to encourage them to learn new skills. The B. Skipping Stones toy from B. toys is a great way to develop fine & gross motor skills whilst having fun!
Taylor and I have been playing with this for a few weeks now, it’s recommended for ages 6 – 12 months although most development charts I’ve seen state a child can complete a ring stacker between 12 and 18 months Taylor is now able to stack a few of the pebbles before getting frustrated and simply throwing them, usually at me!
With ergonomic rounded shapes making it easier for tiny hands to grasp the skipping stones stack neatly on top of one another creating a tower of fun. I like the different shapes on this toy unlike similar products which stack symmetrically. it’s more fun to look at and reminds me of something from Dr Seuss with it’s odd shapes and vibrant colours sitting alongside our Seuss toys in the nursery.
Their is no right or wrong way to stack these colourful shapes, they look great in any order and try telling a 10 month only the green goes before the pink. We’ve had plenty of fun building towers on and off the stacking pole, throwing shapes, drooling on them and wearing them on our heads!
I particularly love this toy for its added features. You wouldn’t think a simple ring stacker had added features but this one does! Each pebble is a different shape for little hands to grasp instead of simple circular rings and they’re also textured. Each pebble has a different texture of material to it, some are smooth, others are bumpy and one is squishy rubber, Taylor’s favourite!
A fun twist on a traditional toy that little ones will love on their first Christmas. This toy gets the #TaylorTries seal of approval from us!
