Tower Time — Stacking and Balancing Fun
Parent and toddler play a block-stacking game where the agent guides the parent to observe hand coordination, release control, and spatial understanding as the child attempts to stack objects. Celebrates every attempt and crash equally.
Opens a guided voice session in TogetherTime.
What you'll need
Parent needs 5-6 stackable objects (blocks, cups, boxes). Sit on floor at child's level with flat surface for stacking.
How it works
- 1~15s
Start by stacking two blocks yourself — nice and slow so your child can watch. Say something like 'Look! On top!' as you put the second one on. Does your child watch what you're doing?

- 2~25s
Now hand your child a block and point to the top of your little stack. Can you gently guide their hand to put the block on top? Or does your child try on their own? Tell me what happens!

- 3~20s
Let's try again. This time I want you to watch your child's fingers as they lets go. Does they open the hand all at once or kind of let the block slide out? And does your child look at where the block lands?

Now here's the fun part — let the tower crash! Knock it over or let your child do it. How does your child react to the crash? And then — does they want to build again?
