Weizenkorn - Tower "Max"

The timelessly beautiful, colorful and durable building towers from Weizenkorn promote the manual skills of small children. The educational games are made from local types of wood using child-friendly, saliva-resistant and non-fading, non-toxic paints and varnishes.

The aim of the game is to stack the 10 colored discs into a tower. The difficulty is that the discs each have a different number of holes. In variant 1, when stacked correctly, the round rods of different heights become visible through small openings. With variant 2, only one bar is visible over its entire length when piling up.
