Tier Toys Launches Stackers’ Puzzle, Sorter & Storage Case Product Line

Australia – American children familiar with the story of Noah’s Ark can name many of the animals that endured 40 days and 40 nights of flooding. There are giraffes, lions, elephants, monkeys and bears. But what youngster would shout out, kangaroo? Aussie kids, that’s who! The Australian makers of a new line of toys known as Stackers has created an ingenious stack and play product line that kicks off with the debut of Noah’s Ark with, naturally, two kangaroos!

“Tier Toys was established after nine years of research and development,” explains Director Leah Romyn from her Australian office, “resulting in an extremely robust USA and Australian patent for an educational puzzle toy. The toy can be configured in any number of different products. This unique concept has rejuvenated the construction toy arena.”

Children opening the box for Stackers’ Noah’s Ark will be astonished with the intricacies of 12 different stackable layers of toy pieces. Each level uncovers two or more animals ready to walk down the plank for a play date. A total of 44 detailed figures in primary colors of red, blue, yellow and green includes Noah and his wife.

A click on their website, www.tiertoys.com, shows a video of the ark and how its pieces easily pull apart and are stacked back together. Moms will especially adore one of the added benefits — as the child completes playing with the Ark by putting all of the animals in their spots, he stacks up the Ark and cleans up his own clutter!

Respected toy consultant Richard Gottlieb echoes excitement for Stackers, stating, “the patent is truly amazing in what it covers and in the unique variety of products it will allow Tier Toys to produce. This is a product that has the potential to be a global success.”

The first of many planned Stacker products, Noah’s Ark, will be available soon online and at specialty toy retailers.

A total of 44 details figures, including Noah and his wife, are packed in their own spot among the stacks.
