I always thought that stacking rings are a big hit to babies & toddlers but not until I bought one for JX… he seemed not to like it!
I spent some times to guide JX how to put the rings back to the cone by introducing the concept of big vs small. To start with, I showed him the biggest and the smallest rings since the size difference is obvious. Anyway, he still prefers to push the smallest rings through the cone and when the ring didn’t fit, he straightaway lost his interest.
Since round shape stickers continue to be JX’s favourite at home now so LK decided to add ‘numbers’ to the stacking rings using these stickers. And, finally it turns out to be a success!
JX loves to stack the rings according to the numbers and of course, all rings fit well in the cone. I was surprised to find that he learnt numbers 1-12 quickly through this play. He could sort out the sequence of the number and play independently by himself (another way for mommy to gain sometime for myself).
Kids learn best through play, don't you agree?
