Londji Wooden Stacking Toy - Up to the Stars

It is a wooden game of skill and balance where children stack pieces to help a rocket climb past mountains, clouds and sky toward the stars. The higher the tower grows, the steadier a hand it takes to keep the rocket rising.

As one of our wooden stacking toys, it asks children to balance real wooden pieces into a tower without toppling. The solid wood parts have a natural feel and weight that make each careful placement satisfying and a little suspenseful.

Players take turns adding wooden pieces to lift the rocket step by step through its journey, trying not to knock the stack over. It works as a calm solo challenge or a giggly turn-taking game between friends and family members.

It is made for children from three to 103 years old. The set has small parts, so keep it from children under three, while older children and adults can test their steadiest hands on a taller, wobblier tower.

The stacking pieces are made from wood, giving them a warm touch and a gentle clack as they meet. Natural wood also stands up to plenty of repeated stacking, tumbling and rebuilding over time without losing its appeal.

Balancing the pieces builds fine motor control, concentration and patience, since a rushed move sends the rocket tumbling. Taking turns adds a friendly social side and a lesson in staying calm under a little friendly pressure.

Wipe the wood with a dry or lightly damp cloth and avoid soaking it. Pack the pieces back into the cardboard box, about 15 by 32 by 2 cm, so the flat set slides easily onto a shelf between games.
