The Big Time – Pre-school Toy

Children expect their pre-school to have special toys.
When it comes to Stackers this is the Big Time.
Up to 6 children enjoy playing with the large balls & stackers.
Suitable for Kindergarten & Pre-school play and learn centers.
The base plate has a race way running around it for rolling the balls.
6 peg towers, each having 6 big wooden balls of 50 mm diameter in the colours of the rainbow red, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, violet.
The poles for putting on the balls are especially thick and nicely rounded.

Adult supervision needed at all times.
