Grimm's stacking towers — wooden towers for stacking and sorting

Grimm's stacking towers are a must-have in every playroom or toddler’s room. The wooden discs in cheerful colours invite children to sort by colour and size. By stacking, your child playfully practices motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Each tower is made from solid lime wood with a non-toxic, water-based colour stain. The bright and natural colours combine beautifully with the warm wood grain. This means the tower also looks lovely in the room when it is not being used.

Grimm’s stacking towers come in all kinds of shapes and colours. Below you will find our extensive collection.

Features and materials

A stacking tower consists of wooden discs that slide over a central rod on a base. The discs increase in size, so the tower becomes narrower towards the top. In addition to the classic round tower, there are also special versions, such as the wobbly Wankel tower, a flower-shaped tower and a geometric version.

All towers are made from solid lime wood. The wood is stained, not varnished, so the natural grain remains visible and tangible. The colour stain is water-based and non-toxic, making it safe for young children who still like to explore everything. Because the toys are made by hand, each tower is slightly different in grain and colour. No two towers are exactly the same.

The discs feel pleasant to hold and fit well in small hands. The rounded shapes make the toy comfortable to grasp and stack. Thanks to this simplicity, the focus stays on play.

What your child learns from stacking

A stacking tower grows with your child. The youngest children first mainly take the discs off and put them back on again. Then comes stacking, and later children use the discs separately: as arches, tunnels or parts of a larger construction.

During play, your child playfully practices fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and recognizing colour and size. Sorting helps them discover proportions, colours and shapes.

Because there is no fixed way to build the tower, it remains engaging for a long time. Your child plays at their own pace and keeps coming up with new ways to use the discs. This open-ended quality makes the stacking tower a true classic among wooden toys.

Sustainable and safe wooden toys

Grimm's makes its wooden toys from sustainably produced wood and colours them with water-based stain. No harmful substances are used, which is important for toys that may end up in a child’s mouth.

Solid wood is also strong. A stacking tower can withstand bumps and lasts for years, even when it is played with intensively. That often makes the toy easy to pass on to a younger brother or sister. For the youngest children, always check the recommended age advice for the specific model.

Which Grimm's stacking tower is right for my child?

Most stacking towers are suitable from 1 year. For the very smallest hands, a smaller model is often the most pleasant way to start, such as the small stacking tower. The larger towers, such as the rainbow or geometric tower, offer more challenge and remain interesting for older toddlers and preschoolers too.

Not sure about the colour? The rainbow and pastel versions are timeless, while the neon colours are bright and playful. A stacking tower also makes a lovely gift, for example for a first birthday. For day nurseries, after-school care and schools, the larger towers are practical because several children can play with them at the same time.
