animals beware

Advantages: good price, great product
Disadvantages: small pieces could get lost

This toy was bought for my (then) 4 1/2 year old daughter for Christmas. What fun! For those who remember Operation, this is a similar toy. Remove the objects from the pets without making them make a noise. To add to the fun, each animal makes a different noise - the dog barks, the duck Quacks, the cat mieows and the rabbit goes boing!! Each animal has 4 objects to remove that relate to that particular animal (a bone for the dog, fish for the cat). ...
...relate to the animals more than they would to a body on an operating table. As with all ELC products, reasonably priced at £10 (although subsequently seen in the sale at £5!!) Also nice bright colours to attract the children and the tweezers used to remove the objects are fairly easy to handle for small hands. It is good because it can easily be played by one child on their own or by up to four if they each have their own animal. Depending on the ...

Is it rubbish??

Advantages: Teaches children about environmental issues
Disadvantages: They have to know what can be recycled and it can't be played all the time

...by a favourite of mine- Orchard Toys. This begins to teach children about recycling and encourages them to think about sharing and playing together. As with most if not all of the Orchard Toys products, it is linked with the National Curriculum- this time, Maths and Science. Who is it for?... This is a game for 2-4 children, ideally between 5 and 10 years old. It is quite a complex game until children get used to the rules and so younger than ...
...As with most of the Orchard Toys games, I buy the games online at www.orchardtoys.com, but a catalogue can be requested from Orchard Toys, Formlend Ltd., Keyworth, Nottingham. How much does it cost?... This costs £9.00 Other Products… Great range of good quality products, often linked to the requirements of the National Curriculum, including: Bus Stop Chicken Out Colour Match Express If you are interested in looking for age appropriate games ...

The toughest garage ever

Advantages: Brighly coloured and very sturdy
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

My boys had been nagging at me to get them a garage i had bought them loads of different types but they always got broke as they were made of really thin platic that broke easily. I visited a local auction where i came across this fisher price garage and i thought to myself that would be perfect for the boys and yes of course i got it and for only £3 i was absolutly gobsmacked as they cost £60 so i was really happy espescially at the money i saved. ...
...which means the kids can park at least a hundred cars in there it really brings out the best in a childs imagination they play for hours parking cars fighting fires with little fire engines and also crashing cars my four year old likes playing police chase in the garage which is really funny. The ground floor is coloured grey,the first and second floor are blue in colour,the floor level ramps are yellow and the top ramp is red there is also a little ...
