Rock stacking tower

ages 3–5 · <60 sec setup · ~10 min · No cleanup
Set up

None outdoors. Indoors: a tray with a handful of rocks.

Show your kid (30 sec)

Stack three rocks. Look at the tower. Walk away.

What you'll see

Patient balancing. The toppling is part of the work. Most 3+ kids will get to 4–5 before the tower falls; they'll then go higher every session.

When they want to go again

Use only flat rocks. Use only round ones. Stack two towers side by side. Take a picture before it falls.
