Cups and buckets
Cups and buckets are usually the easiest form of stacking and sorting to begin with. Choose large, well-made cups in a variety of colours and they will more than earn their keep through their versatility.
Tolo's new Rainbow Stacker consists of seven variously coloured plastic pots with soft, rubberised textures on the rims to encourage tactile exploration and differently shaped bases. The largest pot measures 9cm in diameter and the smallest is 6.5cm. Designed to be used indoors and out, the pots are ideal for water play. Priced 8.
