You may have such an arrangement in your home as these are popular toys for toddlers helping develop motor skills and coordination.<br \/>\nYou may need to adapt these activities to suit your needs and materials available. Maybe your kids could think of ways of adapting and improvising. This is valuable skills development.<\/p>\n<p>Use our Christmas tree template: cut the tree in \u201cslices\u201d and move them on the stands.<\/p>\n<p>The Towers of Hanoi challenge is to move 5 rings from the left hand post to the right hand post following particular rules:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A move consist of taking one ring and moving it onto another post.<\/li>\n<li>You cannot place a larger ring on top of a smaller one.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can take as many moves as you like. Eventually you will manage to move them all. That may be fine for younger children, but older children should be looking for a pattern or system to solve it.<\/p>\n<p>For more extensions, strategies and solutions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/maths-at-home-activities\/#activity21towersofhanoi\">click HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please, share your creations on twitter using the #adventSTEAM<br \/>\nWe are looking forward to seeing what you\u2019ve created!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#eaeaea;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><a class=\"fusion-no-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Template_Christmas-tree-Towers-of-Hanoi.pdf\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Screenshot 2020-11-30 at 10.14.13\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-30-at-10.14.13-600x304.png\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-9052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-30-at-10.14.13-200x101.png 200w, https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-30-at-10.14.13-400x203.png 400w, https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-30-at-10.14.13-600x304.png 600w, https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-30-at-10.14.13-800x405.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-30-at-10.14.13-1200x608.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screenshot-2020-11-30-at-10.14.13.png 1228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathsweek.ie\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Template_Christmas-tree-Towers-of-Hanoi.pdf\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Cut out and use &#8211;
