I was looking to buy my son a typical ring stacker but saw this in my searching and got it instead. I'm so glad we did because it's the best toy we own. I bought it when my son was 12 months old and it's been his favorite toy for the last 3 months. I thought it would be too advanced for him but he figured it out right away. And then he started trying to put it together in different ways. He is fascinated by trying to put the pieces on in different orders or seeing if he can put them on upside down. Because there are so many more ways to put the pieces together (some that work and some that don't) he has a great time exploring. He also uses some of the individual pieces in different ways like using the green tube as a telescope. The toy itself is very attractive looking and very sturdy. It's solid wood but the pieces aren't too heavy for a young child to manipulate. The pieces are stained and not painted so I don't worry about my son chewing on any of the pieces. I can't say enough good things about this toy. It's simple but wonderful.

My son has a couple of basic ring stackers, but this cone sorter by Plan Toys, while using the same concept, draws his attention and holds it for much longer than his basic ones. The interior tubes must be assembled by size before the outer rings can be added. At 12 months, my son definitely needs help in putting it together, but he is absolutely fascinated by the way the tubes slide into one another, as well as the way the outer rings hide the tubes. This toy will be excellent for teaching colors, size differences, and spatial relationships. And when we don't want to take it that seriously, the tubes are great for rolling on hardwood floors. This cone stacker provides a unique challenge that no other toy we've found offers!

**Now at age 3, my son still enjoys playing with this. It's a toy that I rotate in and out of his collection, so that it seems "new."

I bought this toy during a sale months ago but followed the box and held off on giving it to our daughter until she turned two. Now that she is playing with it I am regretting not giving it to her at least ten months ago. I would not hesitate to give this toy to a one year old. Our daughter had it figured out in a day but continues to creatively play with it. Sometimes she makes a mistake but she problem solves and fixes it. And this is such an elegant looking toy as well. I actually love looking at it!

My inlaws gave us a traditional plastic set of stacking colored rings which she got about a week before I remembered that I had this in our closet. She showed very little interest in that and wouldn't learn from her mistakes like she does from the much more complex Plan version. I noticed that Plan offers a more traditional ring stacker, I would take this over that any day!

We have a number of Plan toys but so far this is our favorite. I expect my daughter to be enjoying this for a long time.

Honest reviews on Plan Toys Cone Sorting

Just an FYI, that this toy is not as pictured. It has been "updated" to a version that is made of pressed wood so there are no longer visible wood grains. For anyone interested in what you will get if you order this, thee current version has a green base and the top most yellow piece is not uniformly tapered to the top. A quick web search for "Plan Toys Cone" will bring up at least a few photos of the current version. Still nice but I definitely prefer the aesthetics of the original with wood grain and a well shaped cone.

We bought this for our almost-2-year-old for Christmas. I find the around-two age to be the most difficult to shop for as children this age are intellectually ready for more complex intellectually-stimulating toys, but still feel the need to explore things with their mouths, which really limits the things you can buy to being below their skill level, at their skill level and a choking hazard, or bright and flashy with lots of lights (yuck).

So, enter this stacker, a perfect complex little twist on the original stacker concept, requiring a little more thought and dexterity, and with the added interest of multiple layers. It can actually be assembled in a different order each time, so there are a few methods to getting it all put together. The pieces are a good size, and the Plan Toys water-based dyes won't come off if a toddler feels the need to taste it.

Hopefully it will be a big hit Christmas morning. If not, I'll probably get a good bit of play out of it myself. I think it's a wonderful little puzzle.
