Lubulona Stacking Trees Autumn

The set holds 18 solid beech wood pieces: 6 natural wood trunks and 12 tree tops in a range of shapes and autumn colours. Together they let a child build a small woodland, then take it apart and try a completely different arrangement.

There is no fixed way to play. Children can stack trunks and tops into trees to make a forest, or ignore the trees altogether and balance the pieces into towers, columns and abstract sculptures. Every build looks different, which keeps the set fresh over time.

As balancing toys, these wooden stacking toys build fine motor control, hand-eye coordination and steady concentration as children align piece on piece without toppling the stack. The open-ended format also encourages patience, planning and creative problem solving.

Yes. Alongside Autumn there are Spring, Summer and Winter Trees, plus an All Seasons Set, and the pieces mix together for a bigger, more colourful forest. The trees also sit nicely among Lubulona Lubu Town houses and cars to complete a little scene.

Lubulona lists the set for children from 3 years. The pieces vary in size and some are small, so keep them away from babies and toddlers who still mouth toys, and supervise the youngest builders during play.

Each piece is made from natural beech wood, with the trunks left unpainted and the tops finished in colour. Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth and dry straight away, and store them out of water and direct sunlight so the colours and grain stay looking good.

They make a calm, screen-free gift that suits a broad age range because the play scales from simple stacking to detailed sculptures. The tidy box, about 20.7 by 12.8 by 6.1 cm, also makes them easy to wrap and store.
