Product Overview
This educational toy is suitable for children over 12 months old. Through the free combination of nine gradient colors and two shapes (flowers and stars), it allows babies to enhance their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, color recognition, and spatial reasoning abilities while stacking, sorting, and creatively assembling. Each stacking creates a different spiral shape, making it ideal for parent-child interaction and sensory corner activities in kindergartens.

Product Details
Features and gameplay
Core gameplay
- Free Stacking: Stack the 19 flower and star-shaped components according to color gradients or your own creativity to create a unique rainbow spiral tower every time.
- Shape Classification: By identifying and classifying two different shapes, a foundation for geometric cognition and logical thinking is established.
- Color Exploration: Nine gradient colors arranged from light to dark allow children to learn about color order and visual aesthetics through play.
Parent-child activities
- Parents can design different stacking patterns with their children, such as "Full Flower Tower," "Star and Flower Alternating Tower," or "Rainbow Gradient Tower," encouraging creative expression.
- By incorporating color naming and counting games, concepts such as "red flower" and "blue star" are integrated into the interactive activities, enhancing language and mathematical cognition.
Learning Objectives
Development orientation
- Fine motor skills and the small hand muscles:Grasping, aligning, and stacking stably require hand-eye coordination and finger control, effectively exercising hand muscles.
- Spatial Reasoning and Logic:Understanding spatial relationships such as up and down, size, and shape matching helps develop three-dimensional thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Color recognition and aesthetics:Through the arrangement and combination of nine gradient colors, visual acuity and artistic appreciation are cultivated.
Specific benefits
Children can enhance their hand-eye coordination, spatial reasoning, and color recognition through repeated stacking and creative combinations, laying a solid foundation for later engagement with more complex building blocks, puzzles, and STEM toys. According toHong Kong 01 Children's Development Special ReportBuilding blocks can effectively train cognitive development, promote hand-eye coordination, and improve concentration.
Suitable age
Suitable age:12 months to 6 years old (Official recommendation: 12 months and older, suitable for toys for 1-year-olds and 2-year-olds)
Use cases
- Indoor/Outdoor:Primarily used in indoor play mats, living rooms, nurseries, or kindergarten classrooms.
- Parent-child/Classroom:It can be used as a teaching aid in kindergartens in sensory corners, math corners, or during free play periods; it is also suitable for Montessori toy environments.
- Storage:All components can be easily stacked or laid flat in the storage box, saving space and keeping things tidy.
Safety and Maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is this stacking tower suitable for?
The official recommendation is that it can be used for children aged 12 months to 6 years. Babies aged 12-18 months can start with simple grasping and single stacking to gradually build hand-eye coordination; toddlers aged 2-3 years can try arranging by color order or shape classification; children over 4 years old can independently design complex spiral shapes and creative combinations. According toHong Kong Department of Health Child Development GuidelinesThis stage is a critical period for training the small hand muscles and spatial cognition.
How is it different from regular stacking toys?
The rainbow gradient stacking tower combines the unique designs of "dual shapes" and "nine-color gradient," differing from traditional stacking toys that feature a single shape or color. The two shapes, flowers and stars, enhance the fun of shape recognition and classification games, while the nine gradient colors from light to dark cultivate children's visual aesthetics and color sorting logic. This diversified design allows children to create different combinations each time they stack, extending the playtime and enhancing the depth of learning.
How can it be used in conjunction with Montessori principles?
The rainbow gradient stacking tower fully aligns with the core principles of Montessori toys: self-directed learning, repetitive practice, and sensory exploration. You can set up a "work area" at home or in the classroom, allowing children to choose their stacking order and creative designs independently, while adults only observe and provide guidance when necessary. Through repeated manipulation, children can develop a sense of order, focus, and confidence. In a kindergarten teaching environment, this toy can be arranged in the math corner for counting and sorting activities, or in the art corner for color gradient and aesthetic exploration.
What specific benefits does training the small hand muscles offer?
The stacking process requires precise grip, alignment, and balance control. These actions effectively exercise finger muscles, wrist stability, and hand-eye coordination. When children attempt to stack different shaped components steadily, they naturally adjust the force and angle of their hands, which is the core of fine motor skill training. These fine motor abilities will lay a solid foundation for future activities such as holding a pencil, using scissors, and other tasks that require hand control.
Can it be played with other building block toys?
Of course! The rainbow gradient stacking tower is fully compatible with other building blocks or children's toys, allowing kids to incorporate flower and star components into larger construction games, such as as part of castle decorations, garden scenes, or creative sculptures. This open-ended play further stimulates imagination and creativity, making the building block activity more diverse and enriching.
How to design advanced game challenges?
As your child grows older, you can design challenges of varying difficulty: for example, "build the tallest tower using only flowers," "arrange in rainbow order," "alternate stacking flowers and stars," and "create a stable structure with the fewest components." These challenges can train logical thinking, planning skills, and problem-solving techniques, elevating a simple stacking game to a STEM toy level learning experience.
Is it suitable as a teaching aid in kindergarten?
Perfect! The rainbow gradient stacking tower can be applied in multiple teaching scenarios: in the math corner for counting and sorting activities, in the art corner for color recognition and aesthetic development, in the sensory corner for tactile and visual exploration, and during free playtime to develop social interaction and cooperation skills. The 19 components also make it convenient for multiple children to use simultaneously, promoting sharing and turn-taking social skills.
What should be considered when cleaning and maintaining a product?
The maintenance of wooden toys is relatively simple: regularly wipe with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry, avoiding prolonged immersion in water or exposure to high temperatures. Regularly check for any damaged or sharp edges on the components to ensure the child's safety during use. Keep them dry and well-ventilated during storage to extend the toy's lifespan and maintain the texture of the wood. Due to the use of environmentally friendly water-based paint, the colors are durable and not easily faded.
Are the materials and safety guaranteed?
The Hape brand is centered around the core concepts of "safety, environmental protection, and education." This product is made from sustainably sourced wood and treated with environmentally friendly water-based paint, meeting international safety and quality standards. All edges are finely polished, providing a warm and smooth touch, suitable for the strict safety requirements of baby toys and bb toys. Parents can confidently allow their children to explore and play freely under adult supervision.
