Description
Your child builds the tallest structure they can from a mix of materials, then talks about what is holding it up. Toppling and rebuilding are part of it; the problem-solving is the point.

Play guide
- 1Gather a mix of stackable materials (blocks, cups, boxes, cans, lids) and clear a flat spot on the floor or a low table.
- 2Invite your child to build the tallest tower they can that still stands on its own.
- 3Let them try, topple, and rebuild without stepping in to fix it for them.
- 4When something falls, ask what they think happened and what they could change.
- 5When they finish, ask what is keeping the tower standing and admire it together before tidying up.
