This wooden balancing game, known as a Toppling Tower, has been a favourite among children for decades. This traditional wooden puzzle is a classic toy that has been enjoyed by generations of children and continues to be popular today.
The game is a test of skill and dexterity, the objective is to stack the wooden blocks on top of each other without letting the tower topple over. It may seem like a simple task, but it requires a great deal of patience, concentration, and a steady hand.
The completed tower measures 13cm high | 5 Inches high, there are 7 wooden blocks and a die with a cotton bag to keep them safe. However, it is important to note that this game is not suitable for children under three years of age due to the small parts.
To play the game, the player needs to place the base flat side up so it wobbles. The game comes with a die that players take turns rolling. The colour on the die corresponds to the colour of the blocks the player needs to stack on the base.
The game may seem easy at first, but as more blocks are added, the tower becomes increasingly unstable, making it harder to balance. One wrong move, and the tower can come crashing down, requiring the player to start over.
