Nicholas ★★★★★

Bought this as a gift for my nephew and the faience-inspired hippo design is such a clever nod to the Met collection. The rings are soft-hued and surprisingly sturdy, and he’s already figured out how to stack them in order.

Benjamin ★★★★☆

My toddler loves the soft, pastel colors of these stacking rings, and the hippo base is cute enough to stay out on the shelf. Only wish the rings were slightly easier for small hands to grab, but it’s still a solid learning toy.

Lily ★★★★☆

My toddler loves the soft pastel rings, and the hippo base is sturdy enough for their excited stacking. I just wish the rings locked on a bit more securely when fully stacked, but it’s still a clever learning toy.
