Unboxing
This Rainbow Stacker comes in a small box that has a few pieces of tape sealing it shut. Inside, the contents are neatly organized and packaged. There are pieces of paper in between each of the stacker blocks and the head is wrapped neatly in paper as well.
The Playtime Experience
This Hape Stacker does not have an on/off switch the sound is activated with the head is placed on the center guide and pushed down (rather hard). I found that it was a bit hit or miss since I couldn’t get it to sound consistently. When it does it makes the cutest little dog barking sounds though! The stacker is rainbow colored and stacks neatly along the center guide.
Things I Liked
I like the high quality wood construction and how much care was taken to ensure the quality was maintained during shipping.
Things I Didn't Like
I don’t feel the sounds were done very well since I cannot get it to work consistently.
Appropriate Ages
This Hape toy is recommended for 12 months of age and older.
Final Note
The Hape Pepe Rainbow Wood Sound Stacker Toy is adorable and the sounds it makes are very cute. I wish the sounds were a little better done but the general quality of the toy really is top notch. I am impressed with this classic toy and I would purchase again, even if the sounds don’t really do it for me.
