At what age was your child able to stack things?

Question

I basically mean when we’re they able to make a tower with nesting cups, blocks, etc. and in the correct order?
I’m worried that my lo isn’t developing properly. So I just want to see the average.

Answer

I wouldn’t want to see my child do that too early. Say 16-20 months maybe? If later it’s okay too! No rush. Just have fun playing. 
My 17 month old nephew cannot do that task. He just learned to walk at 16 months, crawl at 15. He doesn’t seem super motivated - he’s rather be held or carried somewhere.  🤣

Answer

I think around 12 months with my son.

Answer

My son just turned one and we haven’t really done stacking activities with him much but he doesn’t seem close to ready to do them yet to me. He has one of those ring stackers where you stack the colored rings on the center post and he has no interest in putting them on the post. He prefers to take them all off and play with the pieces individually, waving them around, throwing them, etc. Same with his blocks, he likes carrying them around but doesn’t try to stack them yet. If I do stack them he gets interested in the tower I made and either knocks it down or picks up the top block off of it.

Answer

My kids were all stacking these by age 1. So I'd say 12 months would seem right.

Answer

We started with these and other similar activities just before a year old. He is now 18 months and is a pro. He absolutely loves stacking and sorting activities.

Answer

9 months. He could also put the same colors together.  He could accurately stack them and do everything he was supposed to do with them. 
He’s 3 now. He can read independently, he knows all his shapes, colors, etc.  He is advanced for his age. 
Babies hit milestones at different times. If you’re concerned you should speak with your pediatrician

Answer

My daughter was able to „nest“ them (if that’s how you call it) in the correct order around 18 month, but couldn’t figure out how to properly stack them until she was a little over two. She just got too frustrated when she did one wrong and then gave up 🤷‍♀️
She’s not behind in anything, she just needed more time with those. She did the stacking rings correctly way before that, and knew her colors, counted the cups etc.
Some kids just need more time, and are focused on building other skills, I wouldn’t worry.
