Discovery Toys Measure UP! Cups | Educational Stacking & Nesting 12 Piece Numbered Set| Kid-Powered Learning | STEM Toy Early Math Childhood Development 12 Months and Up

Bought these for my granddaughter and am so pleased! They are almost exactly the same as the set my daughters had in the 80's. They are perfect! Bright colors, no holes, numbered, and the bottom press (for clay play). They stack perfectly...simply the best. You and your child will not be disappointed.

I buy this for ALL my friends baby’s first bday. Colors? Check. Numbers? Check. Animals, clock face and volumetrically accurate cups that help you math early so you won’t grow up to be one of those kids who has the “I’m bad at math insecurity”??? Checkity check check. It is perfection. I used it as a kid. And I gift them as an adult.Best part?? it doesn’t make noises that make you want to hurl the toy out the window and then run it over and over with a lawnmower.

So I bought these because my mom sold Discovery Toys when we were kids and still has her set. They have been my 8 month old's favorite toy for a couple months now when he visits so I figured I needed my own set for our house. At 8 months we like to stack them and knock them over, chew on them, and especially bang them together to make a loud noise. They spread out on the floor for lots of fun, then stack back up nice and neat to take up very little space when stored. Obviously we will continue to get a lot of use out of these as the years go on. I loved comparing them to the "vintage" set. I will say that I think the colors of the new ones are not as good as the old ones, particularly the red is more orange and green not as vibrant. This is not a big deal, but since learning colors is part of the fun, I wish they were the same strong colors as the old ones. I looked at other sets (my sister also babysits and got a cheap $5 set) but I think for a toy that gets so many years of use (I would personally enjoy making a sandcastle with these at 34yo) and is now being passed to a second generation, I'd say it is worth the $18 spent for a better product!

The one year old loves themHe he carries them around, stacks them together, not necessarily in order and plays with them non stop

This is a review for MEASURE UP!® Cups by Discovery Toys by Discovery Toys.Just bought another set for my newest little great nephew. I bought these twenty years ago for my son and twenty years later we still have them in our beach toy crate. We've bought them on-and-off throughout the years for gifts and always enjoy reminiscing. He remembers using them in the bathtub, then at the beach, and with play clay, and enjoys the nostalgia of watching little ones play with the same toy he loved.- They're durable. Obviously.- They hold their color.- They're seriously educational.- Wonder why the rims are ridged? It's so you can't put them on your mouth and suck in and get them stuck! Not that I would do that. Well, I don't do it very often anyway. But seriously, it can be a suffocation issue for little ones so this is a nice feature.Note: there are a couple of tutorial videos on-line. One is a far more abrasive than the other (to my ears anyway - sorry blonde woman). Chose the dark-haired woman.If you found this review helpful, please check "yes" below. Thank you and happy stacking!

These are so great as a baby shower gift since they will last MANY years. They can be used at a very young age just for holding things and learning fine motor control. The colors are so bright. The cups' volumes correspond to the numbers, so they can learn one plus one equals two. They can be used with water or sand. They will be useful for many years and are very durable. Not just stacking cups, but corresponding ones. My absolute favorite Discovery Toy!! (I am a math teacher!)

I bought my latest set as a baby gift - I have given many, many of these out over the years. We personally own a 10-year-old set without the frilly edges - but other than that they are the same durable, versatile cups. These things are nearly indestructible - they have been through a lot in our house and have just one small scratch on them. (With 3 boys plus a husband known for breaking things, very few items can withstand this test!)I cannot believe how many educational aspects Discovery Toys packed in to such a small, compact package. You can stack, nest, sort by color (each has a small, medium, large size), use as playdough stamps (animals on each cup go from small to large along with the cups), and even learn math (cup 1 plus cup 2 will fill cup 3). We love to play with them in the bathtub.They are the only "baby" toy that never got put away in between any of our kids - ages 10, 7, and 7 months. I think that says it all!

perfect fun and educational toy
