Rocket Ball Air Stacker by Hape

Rocket Ball Air Stacker by Hape is a fascinating toy that helps children develop an understanding of numbers 1 to 7 alongside encouraging exploration. I was so excited when I saw this toy and can imagine children being intrigued while playing with it. Place a tube on the base and place a ball into the tube. Switch on the fan by pressing the large button. The ball raises to the top of the tube and hovers there. Now stack another tube on top and the ball raises to the top of the this tube. Keep stacking until the rocket is complete. Place the nose cone on the top and the ball descends to the bottom of the rocket.

Some tubes are clear and others are made from thick coloured cardboard. The tubes are numbered 1 – 7 to help children understand number order. Age 2 years+
