Description
Our painted wooden stacking game gathers twelve cheerful character pieces in one box, each a flat figure cut out and ready to balance on the next. The characters come in assorted colours, shapes and sizes. Some stand tall with their arms raised or stretched wide, while others are drawn upside down in a handstand, so hands meet feet and the figures fit together into towers. Their outfits are bright and boldly painted, from orange dungarees and pink tops to a green jumper, a yellow vest and plenty of blue. Every face has a personality of its own, from a grinning pirate with an eyepatch and a ginger beard to a moustached man in glasses. Boxed, the game measures 20.4cm long, 16.3cm wide and 4cm high.
It is a toy for play at the kitchen table, on a playroom floor or anywhere with a flat, steady surface. Stack the characters into one tall tower, build several side by side, or balance them at odd angles to see what holds. There is no wrong way to build. Younger players can simply find where each figure fits, while older ones can set themselves trickier challenges. It also makes a cheerful game for a family evening, when everyone adds a piece in turn.
Each piece is cut from wood (MDF) and painted on its face, with a smooth, pale edge that shows the board beneath. To keep the paint bright, wipe the pieces with a soft dry cloth, keep them away from water and pack them back into the box so none go astray. At 0.32KG it is light enough to carry from room to room. The lid is printed with the characters themselves, so the game wraps up neatly as a present and looks ready to play the moment it is opened.

How many pieces come in the game?
Twelve painted wooden character pieces come in the box. Each has its own outfit, face and pose, in assorted colours, shapes and sizes.
What are the stacking characters made from?
They are made from wood (MDF). Each is painted in bright colours on its face, with a smooth, pale edge showing the board beneath.
