The First Years Stack'em Up Cups

Well, this Christmas was my daughters first. I thought we would end up with lots of toys, but I didnt think that everyone would get the same toy!! When I opened the first box of stacking cups, I thought "Great, they look fun, not". Despite the fact that I thought Carenza wouldn't be interested, she actually really loved them! We opened them up at Grandma's house and soon enough they were spinning all over the laminate floor, and she was crawling after them with a giggle like you have never heard before! These cups were the Early Learning Centre version. There were 12 cups of all shades, and as you are probably aware, sizes ...  Read the complete review

These look like the most simple boring toy that a child could ever have but you would be mistaken for thinking this. They are the most enjoyable versitile toy that I have ever come accross. My son has had a set of these pots from the early learning centre when he was born and my daughter has also had a set bought when she was born. The best thing about them is that they are cheap at about £4 upwards depending on where you shop for them. The first pleasure that you and your child will have from these is the adult building them up and your child knocking them down (oh do they laugh). Then they will learn to build them on their own or put them ...  Read the complete review

These are such simple toys, but great to get yours and your childs imagination going. Most toys these days you don't need any imagination as it does everything for you. You have to make your own fun with the stacking cups though. Majority of toys now have buttons to press so it sings, zooms along the floor, claps, dances. But these simple stacking cups do nothing unless you do something with them. I think they are great for your little ones to get their own minds working, and also for you to interact and play with them. You can buy these from most toy shops now, all different designs and colours and they are always a good sturdy plastic so not easy to break. I ...  Read the complete review

Us adults spend time wondering why the children of this generation no longer play using their imagine and I do believe this is partly because of the toys they are given to play with. I am a real fan of toys that encourage your child to use their imagination. So many toys these days have one function or the idea is that you press buttons and it talks or pretty lights flash. These are all well and good and I know they do help your child to learn but I still think a big box of building bricks or Duplo are much better because it encourages your child to think about what to do with them and there are so many things. Last christmas I bought my son a set ...  Read the complete review

My best friend has three children and all of her kids love to play with these. There has always been a version of these out for as long as I remember. They may have changed slightly but the main design and objective is still the same. =====So what are they?===== They are known mostly as 'stack em up cups' but I have heard of these with different names. Basically they are cups of all different sizes and colours that you can stack on top of each other or for easy storage they can be packed away inside each other, kind of like one of those Russian Dolls that you can hide inside of each other. =====What can you do with ...  Read the complete review
