About this game
Made for toddlers (with a grown-up nearby), inspired by the Montessori Pink Tower — one of the best-known sensorial materials, used to build a child's eye for size and prepare the ground for later maths. The cubes on the shelf are shuffled into a random order; the task is simply to spot the biggest one left and tap it, over and over, so the tower always grows correctly from largest at the bottom to smallest at the top. Tapping the wrong cube just gives it a gentle wobble — no penalty, no losing. Finish the tower and a new, shuffled round begins.
Questions about the Pink Tower

What age is it for?
Toddlers from about two and a half, with a grown-up nearby. Start with 3 cubes.
What happens if my child taps the wrong cube?
It wobbles gently; there’s no score and no losing.
