Playing Doctors and Nurses

Advantages: Helps prepare for real life
Disadvantages: none

Doctors and nurses. Haven’t we all played Dr’s and Nurses? I bought Sleepydormouse my daughter a fisher price medical kit when she was very young 24 yrs ago or so when she outgrew it I gave it to my school for the children to play with. The set is still in fair condition. I only played with it yesterday so was reminded of its value. I just looked on the web and found toycentre.com selling it for £14.00 £12.99 at www.lewison The kit ...
...pressure cuff a wrist bandage ,an otoscope” The set now on sale seems to have altered little from the one I bought over 20 years ago the bag it comes in has changed instead of a rigid grey case it now comes in a rigid blue case with a picture of a Dr on it. This toy is excellent for pretend play the equipment is very realistic. This toy is an excellent aid to imaginary play. I like to think of this kind of play as preparation for real life. ...

Bisch Basch Bosch

Advantages: developms key motor and problem solving skills
Disadvantages: Possible use for launching missiles

...Instead we opted for the Bosch Workbench my friend had recommended to me some time ago. ***Age Range*** This is advertised as for 3-6 year olds however, we bought it for our active 2 1/2 year old feeling it didn't pose a danger to him - to the house maybe but not to him! ***Is it affordable*** £45.00 which includes a tool set worth £20 which I think is absolutely amazing value for money. ***Availability*** We got ours from the Early Learning ...
...direct from the Bosch website. ***Storage*** Granted, this isn't the smallest of toys and it will take up some room. (roughly 100cm tall and 70cm wide) It was a struggle to squeeze it in between the 6 foot wig wam, the crayola art easel, Tricycle, drum set and massive stuffed over-sized gorilla, but we managed it. ***What do you get for your money*** Under the umbrella of a fantastically reliable and well-known building tools and equipment company, ...

Review of Bosch Children's Workbench

Tea Service

Advantages: kids love it
Disadvantages: none

My daughter just loves Barbie things, so when Christmas time comes people know just what to buy her. This tea set was one of them things. I am not sure how much it cost when purchased as I am not cheeky enough to ask, but I found one the same one in Toys R Us for £4.99p, so would it be worth the money. Read on to find out. What is included in the tea set? -------------------------------------------- 4 Cups 4 Saucers 4 Tea Spoons 1 Large Tea ...
...only reason its called a Barbie Tea Set is for the Barbie stickers that are on each item except the spoons. This is what makes the set cost more, even though it is cheap at £4.99, without them Barbie stickers on it would be a lot cheaper. What age are they for ------------------------------ These are recommended for ages 3+, but younger children could play with them, as there are no small parts. The age on it is due to the fact that younger children ...

Review of Barbie Tea Set

Fun for all the order, I mean family

Advantages: Better than using invisible ones
Disadvantages: You can look silly (especially adults),

...similar to the £7.99 offical Hasbro version, but like most cheaper clones, it has no colour. I have to say though, I do prefer the handle to the large Hasbro version. Colours Ever wondered why lightsabres come in so many different colours (no, it's not because of the mood they are in). Why lightsabres are blue- Blue lightsabres are blue, because they only have one Jedi crystal inside. Jedi crystals are what a lightsabre's power comes from, besides ...
...green-Green lightsabres have 3 crystals in them, which means the lightsabre beam can be adjusted to thinner, longer, shorter or fatter. Why lightsabres are red-Now only bad guys/siths are supposed to wield red lightsabres(which you've probably guessed already), as their Jedi crystals are formed with hatred, which is why they are red (I wonder if your really bad, can they go black?) Why lightsabres are orange/yellow-To be honest I don't really know. ...
