Tall Stacker Pegs and Pegboard Set

When our youngest, Stephen, was born, it was an adjustment to have a little guy in the house to entertain again! I always keep an eye out for early educational toys and manipulatives, especially those that "grow with them," from the early "poke it in the hole" stage, all the way to counting, sorting, patterning - even adding and subtracting! I love the large plastic pegs that are safe even by CPSC standards. At 2 5/8" x 1" diameter, they are appropriate for even 2 year olds. Virtually indestructible, too (a good thing with Stephen's temperament)! Stephen loved to "stack" things as well, and he loved building tall towers with these. Pegs are easy to grasp and easy to put together and take apart. The set comes with a 8" square Lauri crepe rubber pegboard, 25 Tall-Stacker Pegs in five bright primary colors, and suggested activities. Oh, yes - did I mention that this set would help build fine-motor skills, too?
