This toy can keep my son occupied for a long time and can be used in a multitude of ways. The cups link together to make a cute caterpillar, which my son giggles at and then proceeds to take apart. He likes to nest the cups into each other, put balls into them, and play with the propeller thingy on the “tail” cup. He also likes to touch the little holes in the bottom of each cup (each one is in a different pattern) and let’s face it, they are good for chewing too. I stack them and he knocks them over, I’m sure he’ll be able to stack them himself soon. We mostly use them on dry land but we keep one in the bathtub to play with and he is fascinated with watching the water pour out of the holes in the bottom. I also use it to “rinse” him in the tub, not very effective, but fun. As he gets older, the different colors, numbers on each cup, and gradation of sizes will make undoubtedly add to its appeal and learning potential. It was around 6 bucks and widely available – I got mine at Target.
