Stacking, sorting, connecting, and banging – is that what nesting cups are for?

What you need 

• Any items that will stack, such as bowls, stacking cups, bath toys 

What to do 

1. Put the stack together in front of your baby, then sit back and watch what they do. 
2. They might spend time unpacking, examining, connecting, stacking, touching, banging and mouthing the objects – or a combination of all of these things! 
3. As your baby’s inquisitive nature develops even more, they may start to use the stacking items in a totally different way, perhaps rolling them or using them as containers for smaller objects. 

Good to know 

Stacking-type objects provide plenty of exploration opportunities; even if your baby has played with stacking cups many times over, the options for fun and developing new skills are almost endless.
