The Fat Brain Toys Tobbles Neo is a set of six weighted, dual-coloured spheres and a stacking base that invites babies and toddlers to stack, nest, spin, balance and topple. It's a hands-on introduction to the physics of motion, where each rounded piece wobbles, tilts and rights itself, giving little ones something satisfying to explore again and again. Suitable from 6 months and up, it's a sensory and open-ended play toy that grows with your child as they move from grasping and mouthing to more deliberate building and balancing.
What sets the Tobbles Neo apart is the way its weighted pieces behave. Each sphere has a rounded base that makes it rock, spin and settle, so children discover through play how the pieces balance and combine. The grippable, gently curved surfaces are easy for small hands to hold and turn, adding a tactile dimension that keeps busy, curious hands engaged.
How it Works
- Weighted spheres: Each of the six pieces is uniquely weighted so it wobbles, tilts and spins, giving immediate physical feedback as your child moves and balances them.
- Stack and nest: The spheres can be stacked on the base or neatly nested together, so the same set supports both building tall and packing away small.
- Grippable texture: The dual-colour surface and playful curves are designed to be easy to hold and turn, which draws in touch and encourages hands-on exploration.
What it helps your child practise
Play with the Tobbles Neo invites sensory exploration, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and visual-spatial awareness. There's no single right way to use it, so children can experiment freely — stacking, toppling, spinning, wobbling and wiggling the pieces as they figure out how they move.

- Want an open-ended toy that can be used many ways, from simple grasping to stacking and balancing
