Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Stack & Roll Cups — 

Wow, where do I start? This toy is not close to being one of the "gotta have it" toys considering the popularity of Fisher Price; that is just my honest opinion. It is not made with the best of materials either. I wish Fisher Price had used its time and hard work on something more durable.

Well, at the very least, it is a toy that can be easily manipulated-or should I say destroyed. It would be best for children under 2. It can be held by an adult as children place the shapes in the correct opening. It teaches size seriation if it can stay stacked long enougn. I am hesitant to say that children above 1 year can benefit, because my 16 month old does not seem to use it constructively. He would much rather see it thrown all over the place, or to knock it over before completely stacking. He thinks of it as something he can just knock down due to the fact that it does not securely stack or withstand the slightest touch. 

I would spend money on something more worthwhile. It's just not sturdy. When the child goes to stack it, the previous piece falls off before he gets the others on top of it. The plastic is cheaply made. It is altogether a waste. The pros does not outweigh the cons.
