What to do with those pesky, unrecyclable disposable cups? Save them, wash them, then break them out on a rainy day for the world stacking championship!

Stacking cards may be fun for some, but stacking cups is sometimes a better bet when it comes to keeping young hands and attention spans engaged.

The game is great fun when two or more play, but it can also make an excellent solo diversion.

Perhaps you and your child can take turns placing the cups on top of one another – carefully, of course.

If your child gives in to a sudden desire to seize the bottom cup, that’s okay.

How high can you make them go before they tumble on their own?

How many cups does it take to build a passable reproduction of the Tower of London? Can you stack different types of cups withoutinitiating an avalanche?

Only time, patience, and a good chunk of table space will tell.
