(Not quite as durable as the Bill Ding toy when I grew up), these building toys sit on my science room desk for students to create new stacks. They don't realize they learn about center of balance and levers in a creative way. Bill Ding gets repeated daily teenager use and are replaced each year. This is a fun toy.

I was delighted when a friend told me I could purchase this toy from amazon. My brother had Bill Dings when we were children many years ago. I have good memories of playing with this toy. I purchased them for my grandchildren and they love them. The first time I brought them out two of my grandsons, ages 11 and 9, played with them for about 2 hours. Now my 3 year old granddaughter wants to play Bill Dings but knows that this is a special toy that Grandma keeps on the shelf. I know all 6 of my grandchildren will find many happy hours playing with these balancing men.

This toy harkens back about 55 years to my own childhood. I recall the awesome task of making the toy grow into different shapes. I am so pleased to have the chance to let my grandchildren explore with it. The older ones build and the younger ones are enchanted by the colors and lay it flat on the floor and call it a puzzle. I throw it into a sack and bring it to any gathering where children are present. It never fails to enchant them and we adults can visit. I bought two sets so there are enough for sharing.
The "perfect" toy. August 14, 2007

This is exactly what toys should be: No batteries; simple, educational, and fun. Balancing all of the men is challenging, and watching my 4 and 6-year-olds work their way up to more and more complex layouts was really awesome. And watching them figure out their own designs (ignoring the box), was also inspiring. Too many toys today depend on lights and sounds and have no real educational value. I'd like to give these as our "standard" birthday gift from now on...
(4 stars on durability because the edges get a little tiny big banged up after repeated usage; perhaps a harder wood or better paint job would have fixed this)

These are wooden clowns that can be stacked in many positions and provide hours of fun for all ages. My mother got them when I was a child, (many years ago!) and they are still in good condition. She keeps them out and when she has young visitors they always enjoy playing with them. I assumed that they no longer were sold and was delighted to find them on Amazon. Now I can have them for my young friends when they visit as well. They are colorful and sturdy and fun. You will never regret buying them!
