Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Stack & Roll Cups
Customer Review: Great toy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 2 1/2 yr old who has down syndrome. I would definitely recommend it for younger ages as well. I wasn't sure if it would be to babyish but you can do a lot with it. It is great for stacking and you have to push each one so it clicks, you can also play peek a boo with it when they are all stacked it makes like a little telescope. The ball on top has a little bell in it and its great to play like a cup game where you take 2 and eventually 3 of the sections and hide the ball and let her guess which one it is under, obviously you show them which one and then let them watch you move them and they they guess. My daughter loves it and gets it right every time. Also for finger dexterity each section is color coordinated with its matching shade and the also all have a number on it and they snap together to make balls. So your child can push them together and also there is a hole on the top of each section so when you make the ball they can pull it apart by putting their index finger in the whole. It is even great for speech with the "b" sound for ball and the "P" sound for push and pull. It definitely is very functional.Customer Review: Absolutely Amazing Little Toy
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I only paid about $5 for this at a local coat outlet store, and I doubt that I would have paid the $17 Amazon is asking, but after having owned this toy, I can assure prospective buyers that this is actually well worth it. It's pretty straight forward: half cups of varying sizes that snap together as towers or balls, plus one smiley face jingle ball. Yet somehow this toy is just fantastic.
No batteries, no moving parts, and the jingle noise is not unpleasant.
The balls are lightweight and easy for even young babies to handle.
The tower is stable, yet still easily deconstructed.
The colors are bright and have a good range from the spectrum.
The little jingle ball can fit on top or inside of all the cups/balls.
The plastic is durable and is very easy to clean.
The whole thing fits into the largest ball, making this the smallest, lightest, most entertaining toy for travel that I've ever seen.
Normally, this is where I'd put my list of cons, but I actually have none. Seriously, this is an absolutely amazing little toy.
Customer Review: Awesome for a small house
Summary: 5 Stars
Such a wonderfully versatile toy! We live in a small trailer, so space for toys is very limited. This was given to my daughter when she was newborn - and her 4 year old brother would not leave it alone ... even with the restriction that he had to play with the baby with it. He spent hours telling her numbers and colors and making her laugh. Now they play with this toy nearly every day, she is almost 1 and he is 5. I am constantly amazed at the new ideas and creativity of the toy.
Best of all, I can interlock them into one ball which takes up very little room when they are finished playing! No batteries to buy - or annoying loud noises. I think it will make a great tub toy down the road too.
Down side is that little yellow ball with a face - it is too easy to loose and doesn't stay on the stack of half pieces pictured very well. I wish it were either not included or had a ring that snapped into the other pieces.
Customer Review: Good toy with many uses
Summary: 4 Stars
This toy has lots of uses. It stacks into one ball or can be made into many different sized balls. It can stack, be used for hide and seek, etc.
When my daughter was 6-9 months old, I would hide things under the halves and she would find them. She also would roll the balls. She loves the littlest ball with the face on it. She is 1 now and tries to stack them to form a mountain. We play all of kinds of games with them.
The thing I don't like is how hard it is to pull them apart. I've seen adults struggle with it, so I wonder when my daughter will be able to do it. She sees me pull them apart and tries, but she isn't strong enough. I noticed other posters said their kids could pull them apart, so I'm hopeful. I have two of this toy and one is at work and the kids there can't do it either.
Overall, it is a great toy and I'd recommend it.
Customer Review: These are so cute and you can get creative; better for babies
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS is a great toy for a baby that is old enough to appreciate color, blocks, and likes to watch things roll and move around. It is a neat little toy and will grow with the child.
It has the ability to teach colors, numbers, and sizes but not without some parental interaction.
That being said, I think I waited a tad too late and buying this for my son after he was nearly close to 1 year mark was a mistake since he is already into his older brother's (who was 9, at the time) cars and toys.
I bought this for my son when he was an older baby, and all but he was not interested in at all hardly and I gave it away eventually.
It is however, a toy he did like, just that he had already got used to more interactive toys and I found someone whose nephew appreciated it more, and gave it to that particular child.
