For grown-ups
Pink tower
What your child practices
Seeing small differences in size: ten cubes, each one step smaller than the last. Everything else is the same, so size is the only thing to notice. Careful placing with a steady hand comes along with it.
How to use it together
Show it once: pick up the biggest cube, set it on the rug, then the next biggest, slowly and without talking. A cube that is too big tips off, and one that is skipped is left over at the end. There is no need to point this out; let your child see it. When the tower stands, it can be tipped over and built again.
