Green ToysStacking Cups, Purple/Blue/Green

We got these for our twins when they were about six months old and they have loved playing with them. When we first got them, the kids liked to chew on them. Nothing fancy I know, but they are made of a good quality plastic that can stand up to abuse. As they got older, there were a bunch of ways they liked to play with them: you can either nest them together or stack them like the picture. Although the kids can't stack them yet, they love to knock over the tall towers I made for them. Since they are cups, they were also a fun bath toy.I can also see all the possibilities going forward. As the description notes, the cups are volumetrically accurate (meaning if you pour the one cup and the two cup together, they will fill the three cup). Given how much the kids love to play in the bath with them, I think they will be a good intro to math.Finally, they are made of recycled plastic, a feature that appeals to parents even if the kids could care less.

Sturdy, good colors, reasonably priced, and the grand-baby loves them. He likes me to stack them upside down to make a tower, so he can knock it over. I feel safe letting him chew on them. Even the smallest one won't fit in his mouth. He chews on the edges. He is 8 months old. Number printed inside and on the bottom. I think they would be fun in the pool or sand too. We have other toys from this company and are very pleased with all of them.

We love these stacking cups! The packaging is high quality recyclable cardboard. I noticed on the side of the packaging it explains that each cup’s volume correlates with the cup’s number! For example to fill cup 4 and cup 2 with water equals the volume of cup 6 and so on! I’m always looking for real world learning applications for my kiddos so that was a very pleasant surprise. The cups are very durable plastic. They stack easily and nest beautifully. My 9 month old plays with the cups both in and out of the tub. My 5 year old likes experimenting with the simple math I mentioned above. Very happy with my purchase and look forward to other products from Green Toys.

This is the second toy I have purchased from the Green Toys brand. I love that they are made from recycled materials, and also free of harmful chemicals. My 1 year old loves the cups themselves. At this point I stack them up, and she knocks them down. They are very durable, as she loves to pick up two of them and clap them together. There is no cracking or anything like that. I can see these being used long into the future. They have numbers on them which will be great to learn counting. Additionally they will help her to learn stacking, filling with water, etc. There are no sharp edges, and I like that they are shaped differently than other stacking cups I have seen.

I've been doing a lot of research on baby and toddler toys, and it's been an alarming journey of toxins in toys. These are awesome. They're such a cute star shape. The colors are great but not too loud. I love that they're green, BPA & PVC free, and educational. Each cup has a number, and if you pour say cup 1 + cup 3, the amount of water actually = what cup 4 can hold, so it'll actually "grow" with your child. They also actually make pretty convenient bath toys because there are so many of them, the baby plays with them and we use the big ones to rinse with, ha!

These cups are pretty sturdy, large, and can be re-purposed as bath toys. They are not super easy to stack - it can be tricky for me to get the balance right as the lips to adjoin the cups are very small and don't lock in strongly. I think it will be quite some time before my 11-month old daughter will have the muscle control and hand/eye coordination to get them to line them up perfectly on her own.That said, they are a fun parent/child playing together toy at this age (she loves knocking the tower down after I build it, and I like some of the other reviewers' ideas about how to teach math with stacking cups). When alone, my daughter likes picking up individual cups and sucking on them. For an older child, these provide a challenging stacking option. For a younger child, they provide several interactive options for parent and child to play together, and are fun to explore even without parents.

These cups are so versatile. At first you are a little underwhelmed- they’re cups. No big deal. But then you find so many ways to use them. In the bath or pool. In sensory bins. You can stack them or nest them. You can knock them over. Heck, kiddo can wear them as a hat. They’re very sturdy and last forever; we’ve had ours two years now, inside and out.We loved them so much, we gifted them to my niece as soon as she was born.

I LOVE Green Toys. I have bought at least 5 in hopes of creating a less toxic environment for my 18 month son. He loves them all, although his favorites are the Green Toys Sand Play Set and the Green Toys My First Stacker. These toys can be thrown, bitten, stepped on, washed, you name it, they're durable. Stated directly on the packaging, Green Toys boasts that they meet safety standards throughout the world, which exceeds U.S. safety standards. Also stated, all Green Toys are 100% dishwasher safe. I would recommend trying at least one. They are worth the price knowing your little ones won't have paint chips coming off in their mouths, or breathing in toxic pthalates, pvc, and many other toxins used in "safe" toys.
