Some toys are classics for a reason—and the wooden stacker is one of them. They may seem straight-forward, but stackers help baby master fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, pattern and color recognition and concepts like spatial relationships. Now combine those benefits with beautiful craftsmanship, and you have Grimm’s giant Stacking Tower Boat. WHAT WE LOVE
Baby can use the 11 wood pieces to either stack into a sailboat or use as building blocks for open-ended play, giving this toy a long shelf-life The blocks are made from non-toxic, eco-friendly materials and are individually hand-sanded for a safe, smooth finish A stacker this big and beautiful easily doubles as nursery decor, and can be passed down to future littles—which is why this makes a perfect baby shower gift
