森の仲間 スタッキングトイ

My daughter ignores her tablet for this thing, which says a lot. The owls are cheeky little guys and she balances them on the trees for ages, then knocks the whole stack down and starts over.

The bears have little weighted bases that make them wobble just enough to be a fun challenge for my four-year-old. We've been stacking the trees and owls into "forest towers" every morning before preschool, and it's held up well to daily play.

The little owls are what sold my daughter — she keeps trying to balance them on the bears' heads and giggles when they topple. The wood pieces feel sturdy and smooth, no splinters after weeks of play.
