 One of the best toys I ever got for my kids!Sep 10, 2006
By Demeter Lyon
"Mom to Toddler Boy and Baby Girl"
I bought this after hearing how much my son (then 6 monthos old) loved the stacking cups at his 'school'. He is now about to turn 3 and still enjoys them, as does his baby sister. It's wonderful to see how both of them have played with these at different times. You can see little engineering minds being nurtured as they nest, stack - knock over towers!
I would love it just for that - but this also includes the sorting shapes to help them work on problem solving too! Some of the cups and wee shapes have holes, which adds to the fun at bath time. The buckets would be fun at bath time anyway (and useful for rinsing hair and little bodies) but it's great for them to explore the way the water goes through the holes of some of them.
Then we've got help learning to count... each of the inner cups/buckets has a number on it, (with the large bucket with the lid being un-numbered #11, but still stackable) and the appropriate number of *things* on each (stars, kitty face, etc.)
This set is very durable - we've had it over two years and only the handle of the bucket broke (I stepped on it) but that is not a big deal. The one annoying thing was that the handle of the bucket kept coming off. I stepped on one of the cups also, and it has some white marks where the plastic bent, but it is still basically fine and continues to stack well. The pieces are well made enough that, if you have the cups in the right order, they stack to make a very stable and tall tower... which is just so much fun to knock over. My son still loves these cups, and my daughter really enjoys them too - she is just learning the joys of knocking down towers.
Of course my son has other toys he plays with, especially now that he's growing older, but I've heard people say they don't want to 'waste' money on toys for babies - this money would not be wasted. It's great developmentally - helping build a variety of skills and understanding about the world - and it is one of those great simple toys that has an infinite number of ways to be played with.

 nesting and stacking bucketsJun 04, 2009
By David E. Morris
The buckets are made of durable, colorful plastic, and were purchased for my grandaughter's first birthday gift. She really enjoys them, but the handle that is on the largest bucket keeps coming undone, so she cannot carry it around. I am tempted to return it and try one more time, as the handle is driving us all crazy. We snap it back on, and a minute later is has slipped loose again. Very frustrating!

Great product for young kids.Jan 11, 2007
By D. Schneider
I bought this for my 1 year old nephew and he absolutely loves it.
He apparently plays with it every day. He has learned to fit them together and then stack them and know them over. He seems fascinated with this product and would highly recommend it.

Nest & Stack BucketsNov 15, 2006
By Barbara Lum
"Grandma"
My granddaughter loves the buckets. They are large and easy for little hands to pick up. They make great hats and are great for putting things in as well as for the coordination of putting them on top of each other. The colors are bright and the plastic is sturdy. A great gift for little ones and older ones as well.

 Actual Product Is Not As Described HereOct 24, 2011
By T. Stubblefield
Actual product is only 8 buckets inside of the shape sorter bucket, instead of the 10, plus holder described in product description. Numbers are 1-8, not 1-10. It only stacks to 2 feet, not 3 feet as stated.
The box had the right information, but this page does not. I can only assume the company cut back to save money. I would rather teach my toddlers to count to 10, not stop at 8.
Also, on the box it says great bath toy and great for sprinkle activities. Then it says, "Do not immerse in water."
My 17 month old twins (who have no trouble taking the tops off their sippy cups) needed help getting the top of the shape sorter.
Also, the biggest bucket is no bigger than my hand. I thought it would at least be the size of a regular sand pail.
There are many other stacking products that you can immerse in water, that you actually get 10 of, and that are cheaper than this one. I plan to return this and notify Amazon of the incorrect description.
