'Govinda Aala Re Aalaaaa!'
Those scarily magnificent human pyramids during Janmashtami celebrations are a sight to behold, aren't they? Made of skilled, nimble players who construct these multi-tiered human pyramids to get at that prized clay pot (the handi / matka / kudike) filled with curd and butter! The 'dahi handi' (and its many variations across the country) is a game of skill and daring that symbolises the coming together of an entire community in a festive atmosphere! This wooden stacking toy by Gubbachhi is our humble tribute to this amazing event!

Benefits
1: Problem Solving:
Building a mini human pyramid is a task that challenges young minds and little fingers to find the best combination of figures to ensure a stable structure. Encourages focus and helps develop problem-solving skills in children.
2: Sparks imagination through open-play:
Although this stacker has a specific end outcome (the creation of a human pyramid), children can also use the wooden human figures however they please - creating a gang of friends, or a family, or a classroom full of students - letting their imagination run riot!
3: Social Skills:
Let your child play with this stacker along with a friend, sibling or a parent. Because when many hands, and minds work together, it'll go a long way in developing social and collaborative skills (just like the dahi handi!)
4: Learn about Indian culture and festivals:
This is a great opportunity for parents to introduce young children to the many multi-cultural and multi-religious festivals of this amazingly diverse country called India. Also teaches them about the spirit of collaboration and team work!
Care
Gently wipe with a damp cloth (avoid excessive rubbing) to remove dirt or food stains and air dry.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, water and heat.
I liked this stacker so much that I bought it again, as a gift for someone. Was very impressed with the quality when I ordered first time. All products are very unique. Wish you much more success ahead!
