When I had my baby I was given, amongst other things, a £20 Boots gift voucher frommy office. So when baby is a few weeks old, we take a trip into town to spend it.
Browsing among the toys, I caught sight of the Boots Kiity Cat Stacker, costing £15. I thought that was quite a lot of money, but seeing as it wasnt actually costing me anything and it looked quite cute, I decided to buy it.
Boots Kitty Cat Stacker
The toy consists of a cone shaped base, 3 rings and a cats head, all made out of a lovely soft material.
The cone shaped base is a green colour, with a patttern of numbers and letters around the edge and some dangly thin grey strands of material with knots at the end.
Next comes a blue ring, with green triangles sticking out all over the edge of it.
The next ring is patterned in pink and orange and has the cats bottom legs on it, there are also some bells in there, which make a lovely tinkly sound.
The next ring is small, and orange, with little round circles on it.
The final section is the cats head with its front paws.
Obviously the rings are graduated, as the cat stacks, so the rings get smaller and it looks like a cat!
WHAT IS THE POINT OF IT?
Well according to Boots, the toy encourages baby's thinking skills and enhances baby's senses.
The rings are brightly coloured and have different textures and patterns on them.
Baby is encouraged to stack the rings and make the cat.
It is aimed at 6 months +
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF IT (WELL MY BABY'S)
Melissa likes to play with this cat. She is only 5 months and cannot sit up yet, so cannot stack it, but she likes to destroy it.
I place the cat fully made up beside her, turn away for 2 seconds, and when I turn around, the cat is all over the living room, she has a ring on each arm. How does she do this? Nobody knows!
Actually I think that what she does is pull the silver strands of material at the bottom of the cat, which of course makes it fall over and everything comes off.
She does love to play with it though, and hopefully will have great fun stacking it when she gets older.
WOULD I RECOMMEND IT?
Yes, if you can get over the price. I dont think that I would have paid £15 for it if I hadnt had a gift voucher.
My baby loves to play with it, and I do think it is a toy that will last her quite a long time.
The only main complaint is that the cats head falls off very easily, you can see when you stack it that it does not sit on very sturdily.
It is machine washable, so you can keep it clean from all those baby dribbles.
