We purchased these for our 3 year old and he loves them! He will fiddle with them for a long time lining them up, stacking them, sorting them. When I sit with him, I will prompt him to find the rocks with xyz color/size. Our 5 year old enjoys creating the challenges presented on the cards. We have painted garden rocks before in hopes to use them as a similar manipulative toy however my kids prefer the Rainbow Pebbles I think since they are flat and stackable. I prefer them because of their uniformity, they make it easy to work on mathematical concepts, and the fact that they’re plastic makes them a little safer when my 3 year old tosses one across the room! :)
