Discover the wooden stacking tower – Tower of Hanoi, a must-have educational toy for toddlers designed to combine fun, learning, and safety. Made from natural wood, with meticulous finishing and attractive colors, it accompanies your child in their first steps towards independence, learning, and fine motor skills.
Why this toy is an excellent choice
- Healthy and durable materials: natural wood, smooth finish, water-based and non-toxic stains — a guarantee of safety for toddlers who handle and explore by touch.
- Intuitive learning: stacking the rings from largest to smallest allows us to approach the notion of size, magnitude, order, while developing hand-eye coordination.
- Motor skills and cognition: by manipulating the rings, the child refines their fine motor skills, dexterity, concentration, and begins a problem-solving exercise that logically stimulates their brain.
- Stimulate imagination and creativity: although designed for stacking, this toy also invites varied play — the tower can be disassembled, re-created, used for sorting or classifying, offering freedom of exploration.
- A timeless classic: the Tower of Hanoi shape is a landmark in the world of Montessori toys and wooden educational toys — a simple yet fun and educational object that transcends generations.
Technical specifications
Recommended age: from 12 months (or even from 10 months to start with 1 or 2 rings) up to about 2-3 years for full stacking.
Composition : natural wood, smooth finishes, non-toxic water-based stains.
Dimensions : total height approximately 18 cm, stable base to prevent tipping.
Use and care: Easy cleaning with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water to preserve the wood.
Educational benefits
Fine motor skills : threading the rings onto the rod requires hand-eye coordination and finger precision.
Discovering sizes : each ring has a distinct size, allowing the child to sort, classify, and introduce the concepts of big/small, high/low.
Logic and problem-solving : the child thinks about the order of the rings: how to arrange them correctly? This exercise develops patience, concentration, attention.
Autonomy and the pleasure of success : assembling the rings alone from largest to smallest provides a sense of accomplishment, encourages the child to try and try again.
Educational adaptation : from 10 months, the adult can offer one or two rings, then gradually increase; around 2 years, the objective is to stack all the rings.
Recommended use & advice
- Place it in a quiet and safe space where the child can handle it without risk.
- Encourage the child by naming the colours or sizes (“blue”, “big”, “small”) to enrich their vocabulary.
- Do not correct systematically; let the child experiment, make mistakes and start again.
- As a game variation: ask the child to sort the rings by color or size before stacking, or to stack them upside down to change the challenge.
- Put the base ring away after playtime at the child's height to encourage independent tidying up.
