The Pratt Design Institute in the US produces some incredible designers. This rotund little stacking chick is one of the impressive creations of their graduates, as is our recently reviewed Stacking Rhythm Band. They’re examples of what we need more often in kids’ toys: imaginative, playful, learning-based  toys designed from a completely new viewpoint.

The Stack-Chick is the brainchild of Pratt graduate Sharon Myoung. The toy has more than a few play-and-learn elements, including primary colours and stacking, with an emphasis on nature and animals at the forefront.

Littlies can unstack the chick to reveal a golden egg, learning while doing what they love best, stacking and unstacking. Let’s not forget the rocking and rolling possibilities this toy has as well.

The toy is still a prototype but I have a feeling this little guy might  actually make it onto the shelves. We’ll of course update you with any new information in the future.
