The stacker also helps little ones work on their gross motor skills and provides wonderful tactile experiences. Made from solid hardwood maple, each piece is finished with water based dye stain colors and sealed with a non-toxic clear coat. The entire stack measures just shy of 5" tall (each piece is 3/4" thick) and the largest shape, circle, is 5 1/2" across. The dowel to hold the pieces is a hefty 1" thick.
