The Sophie la Girafe Stacking Flower is a classic set of eight colourful, flower-shaped stacking cups decorated with Sophie la girafe and all her friends. It's the kind of open-ended stacking and nesting toy that grows with your baby, offering something new to do at each stage — from grasping and mouthing in the early months to building towers and matching sizes once little hands become more dextrous.
Each cup carries a pretty Sophie la girafe pattern, and the different colours and characters give baby plenty to look at, handle and explore. There are lots of ways to play, which is part of what makes this such a long-lasting toy: baby can stack them, nest them one inside another, tip them over, fill and empty them, and gradually start to grasp basic concepts like big and little through play.
How play develops with age
Because the same set invites different activities as baby grows, it stays useful well beyond the first few months:
- From around 6 months: Baby will enjoy handling the cups and feeling the textured animals moulded into the bottom of each one.
- From around 8 months: The cups become brilliant for water play — filling them and pouring the water out (often over himself), while beginning to explore cause and effect and ideas like empty and full, heavy and light.
- From around 1 year: As baby becomes more dextrous and begins to understand big and little, the cups come into their own for stacking and nesting.
Encouraging imagination
The Sophie la girafe patterns and familiar characters give baby something to talk about and play around, helping to stimulate the imagination and, as language develops, encouraging little ones to make up their own stories. The set arrives in a gift box, so it's ready to give as it is.
