stacking rings

Baby's first puzzle

Stacking rings are a classic infant toy consisting of graduated rings that fit onto a central post, typically arranged largest to smallest.

The toy teaches size discrimination, hand-eye coordination, and sequencing: She's finally figured out the stacking rings.

Also called a ring stacker or rock-a-stack.
