Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don’t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly coloured plastic feels very robust and weather proof and I think this has been proved by the fact that my brother is now 5 and the activity gym has been sitting in our garden for just over 4 years now and still looks as good as new!
The activity gym is recommended for children aged 18months to 4 years old. My brother first played on it on his first birthday and quite enjoyed climbing up and going down the slide. It is very sturdy and because it is quite low in height it means that if the child falls of the slide they are not likely to be injured.We placed ours on the grass although it did mean that grass stains were gained when crawling through the holes! Looking back it would probably have been better to put the cube onto a mat when in use so that there was no direct contact with the grass and things which may have been lurking in there!! We found that my brother did not have a great desire to play on this toy on his own as he got a bit older but when friends were round or he had a party it was well used. Although he is now 5 and too big to play on it really, he still uses it to create obstacle courses, as he is now strong enough to drag it across the grass and place it in position to leap from!
I think there is an element of disappointment with this activity gym because it looks so brightly coloured and really fun but in reality the slide is too small to really enjoy and the climbing through the holes is not really an interesting activity! The activity gym cost just under £50 and although it does not provide as much fun as I would have liked it to, I do feel that it is really well made as the colours have not faded at all and it is still very sturdy and safe.

Interview with a 5 year old!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ME: Do you think this was a fun toy?
BROTHER: Well, it was sort of fun and sort of not fun
ME: Whys that?
BROTHER: because when you climb underneath it through the holes its fun but when you climb on top of it the slide is a bit small so its not so good
ME: You know it has lots of bright colours, well does that make it more fun looking?
