Overview

STACK UP! gives kids the chance to do two favorite things-build a tower of blocks and knock it down! The game encourages color learning, hand-eye coordination, taking turns, working together, counting, and game-play basics.

Stack Up! has three levels of play with specific rules designed for age and developmental capability. As a child grows, she moves to the next level of play, from 3 to 4 to 5 years of age, adding challenges at each age and level.

Stack Up! can be played by kids of different ages and capabilities at the same time. Since the object is the same for all levels, you can facilitate a game where each child plays at his or her level.

All of Peaceable Kingdom's Preschool Skills-Builder Games are cooperative.

That means all players play together against the game, not against each other. Players help each other, no one is left out, and everyone wins or loses together.

Cooperative games build a feeling of security for the youngest children just learning how to play games and they build self-esteem and habits of cooperation in older kids.
