HABA Spielstabil Nesting Stacker

My 8-month old LOVES this toy! The buckets stack both inside each other and on top of one another. Some of them have holes so the water/sand trickle through. I didn't think too much of it until I saw how my child uses this toy in the bathtub he is exploring the idea of volume and relative size. As a bath toy it can't be beat doesn't retain water and stink like rubber duckies. They come in handy when rinsing him off too. Who would have thought a simple collection of buckets would be so much fun!

UPDATE

At 16 months, my boy still plays with these every time he takes a bath. I have added other toys to his bath repertoire, but he prefers the stacking buckets. He now knows how to stack them and continues to do so repeatedly. It's also funny to see him trying to grab the water that trickles down from the buckets with holes...he still hasn't figured out that water is not solid....

I am an extremely picky mom when it comes to the toys I buy for my son! I love the Plan toys and other educational toys that don't have a lot if bells and whistles. I looked for a long time for a high quality stacking cup toy and finally stumbled upon this German set. Other plastic stackers are likely to contain BPA, but these do not (I went to their website and checked!). They are thick and durable, and work well both for nesting and stacking play (when turned upside down). I am shocked more people haven't found these cups, and it's a shame they show up so low down on the page when you search for stacking toys!

And a nice added bonus to these stacking cups is that you can still build a sturdy tower if you have a cup or two MIA about the house (say, when one cup is still hanging out near the bathtub from last night's water play, etc.) These cups are so ingeniously designed that the fifth cup fits nicely inside the rim of the third cup-which is also great when your little one isn't yet interested in building every tower by size order. It's just a great toy!

I have been in the Early Childhood Education field for over 15 years so I have seen my fair share of nesting cups. The quality and durability of these far exceed any that I have used before for work. I got these for my son when he was 6 months old and he has been using them daily for a month now. A great pick!

It's so rare these days to find a baby toy that is the result of careful thought and planning. The cups are very good quality, bright colors, and stack different ways because their proportions are so well planned. They nest, they stack in two separate ways, and some even have drainage holes to be used at the pool/in the tub! The holes are nice, too, when my son inserts a cup inside another upside down since they fit so well together, this prevents suction from sticking them that way permanently! He loves these cups at 10 months old and I foresee many years of imaginative play to come.
