Stack and Crash

🎨 Create⏱ Quick Play · 5 minAges 2–3, 3–4

You need

  • plastic cups (5 or more)

Steps

  1. 1. Put one plastic cup upside down on the floor.
  2. 2. Stack another on top. And another!
  3. 3. Crash! Knock it down.
  4. 4. Build it again, taller.

⚠ Safety · Stay nearby

Plastic cups only, never glass.

Stop if:

  • Your child throws the cups at someone

Easier

Two cups, then crash.

Harder

Build a wall, side by side.

Only 5 minutes?

One tower, one crash.

Why it matters: Stacking builds careful hands; the crash makes it fun to try again.

Clean-up: Stack the cups and put them away.
