Melissa & Doug Geometric Stacker (25-pieces)

The three rods with rings, octagons, and rectangles keep my daughter busy for a solid twenty minutes while I make dinner. She loves stacking them on top of each other in different orders, and the wood feels sturdy enough to survive a few toddler throws.

My 2-year-old spends ages trying to fit the different shapes onto the right rods, and the colorful wooden pieces are durable enough to survive being dropped repeatedly. It's nice that there are 25 pieces, so there's plenty to keep her busy without being overwhelming.

My toddler loves figuring out which piece fits on which rod, and the three different shapes keep her busy for way longer than I expected. The octagons and rectangles are a nice change from the usual rings-only stackers.
