What I loved about this toy is how many different things she is learning with it and how simple it is…and not noisy at all! She is learning gravity, her colors, matching, stacking ability and other fine motor skills! At each age baby and toddler is learning some new skill and toys are a great way to help them practice that since it keeps their attention and they enjoy playing with them. The box says for 18 m+ and teaches balancing, mixing, creativity, stacking, eye hand coordination, learning volume, sequencing and weight….that’s a lot for one simple toy!
