...down, ready to let the little horrors out to play. Yes, I know, you'll all blame me now if it rains tomorrow. Anyhow, while doing all this sprucing up, I realised that the children had outgrown some of these toys, and we were going to have to find new homes for them (the toys of course not the children, although any offers will be considered). One of these toys was the Little Tykes Activity Gym, that was bought for the younger two for Christmas four ... ...which means there's a nice little den area. All of the surfaces are made from plastic, and are very easy to clean, a hose pipe does a great job.
~~~The fun bit~~~
Once it was set up we had to decide where to put it. Now we have a pretty large lounge so during that first winter we had it set up indoors, and the children had plenty of fun playing on it. However, eventually we decided it was just to big to stay indoors, and so we moved it into the ...

Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most crèches or children’s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday.
The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children ... ...so I have held my little brother hostage and asked him to answer some questions about the toy. The conversation below is unedited:
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 ...

Advantages: Bright and fun Disadvantages: Bit small
This Little Tikes Activity Gym is great for young children and creates a fun environment which is also safe.
The activity gym comes in a large box which contained all the parts. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Looking at the gym all you needed to do is slot in the pieces. This was true as the pieces did have to be slotted together but getting them together was the hard bit. You need someone strong who can force the sections together ... ...and Mothercare. It cost a little under £50 but it can be bought on ebay for cheaper. Second hand activity gyms are even cheaper and since the material is long lasting might be worth getting.
This product is recommended for children between the ages of 18 months to 4 years old. But with supervision younger children can easily play on it. It is certainly strong enough to hold children over the age of 4 but when they get too old they can not fit through ...

Advantages: sturdy easy to use fun Disadvantages: difficult to put up in the first place
Little Ttikes Junior activity gym is a small slide/climbing frame for 18 months - to a manufacturer suggested 4 years. It is brightly coloured and an easy size for a toddler to use
We bought this as a managable outdoor toy for my 17 month old. It looked easy to constuct - moulded plastic panels that just slot together. However I just could not put it together propery, one panel will not slide into place completely no matter how much I push, pull ... ...However it still seems sturdy even though it isnt all clicked into place so we are risking it for the moment. (If I can jump up and down on it without it collapsing it should be ok!)
My daughter absolutely loves it. She climbed on to it as soon as I showed her where to put her feet and slid down to climb straight back on. She can do this for a good forty minutes at a time without getting bored. She also loves climbing underneath where there are ...

Advantages: good for littlies Disadvantages: bit small
...brightly coloured gym made by little tikes is a very good buy for a nursery or for you if you have a child under 4. This gym is a made from a thick strong plastic that you put together put together. is not terribly difficult. The slide is bright primary colours reds blue yellow green. The gym when made up is a cube with several holes in the sides, at the top of the cube a platform is fitted into the cube, with a slide that goes to the floor. Children ... ...lot of young children get little exercise these days and this gym will encourage them. It will help their climbing skills and if they have another child to play with they will learn sharing and taking turns.
This climbing /slide cube is sufficient for small children under 5 but once they get to 4 years old they will probably get bored with it. For normal active children I think that by the time they get to 3 1/2 4 this toy will not offer enough ...

...can climb on, with a little slide. The pieces are made of plastic and slot together (you need a strong hubby with a mallet!), it can also be taken apart for storage if needed (same method!). It is marketed as suitable for ages 18 months to 4 years. We actually got it for our oldest daughters first birthday, after seeing her playing happily on one a couple of weeks before. Although at first she needed help to climb up, she loved the slide from the ... ...with (her birthday is in January) but once the weather improved we used it as an outdoor toy and it now lives in the garden. Our daughter is now 3.5 years old and still loves the activity gym, even though she's really a bit big for it. She likes to stand on the platform and see how far she can see, and enjoys trying out new ways to go down the slide (which is shorter than she is!). It's now a huge source of amusement for her younger sister, who is ...

Advantages: Colourful, robust, loads of fun Disadvantages: Colours can fade in the sun after some time, so best in a slightly shaded area
A lovely little climbing frame for toddlers ; I would say suitable from when they first start climbing (little ones may need a hand up to the platform) until 3-and-a-half-ish. My little girl is 4 soon and will still have a go on this when she's down that part of the garden - but it no longer keeps her entertained for hours as it used to when she was 2. Brightly-coloured and stimulating, it provides plenty of opportunities to play peek-a-boo, to climb, ... ...makes it a little difficult to put together in the first place (strong pair of arms necessary) but gives you peace of mind for years after. Great value for money all round, especially as they make lovely hand-me-downs for friends' children or can easily be sold second-hand when you're done. ...

Advantages: Hours of fun for the kids Disadvantages: Have to take it apart to fully clean it
...three children have their own little adventure playground in the back garden swings,slides and trampolines.
When it was cold or rainy they had nothing to play on indoors so i bought them the activity gym they were absolutly chuffed to bits with it they could play with this toy indoors or out,so in the winter they had it indoors and in the summer the little ones played on it out doors as a climbing frame.
It is aproximatly a metre high and about ... ...coloured sides,base and slide.
The base comes in to pieces which is coloured blue there are four sides which easily click into place the colours of the sides are green orange and yellow.The slide just slots into place and can be removed so it can be used just as a climbing frame .The colour of the slide is pink.
Children have hours of fun with this toy it is a perfect hiding place when playing hide and seek as there are holes in the framework for ...

...around!", I said, as I informed her of where "her" toy was.
It was my first pick as an outdoor toy for my own kids specifically because of it's ability to stand-up to time and, yes, my yard looks similar to a daycare!
Thanks Little Tikes!

Advantages: Compact, sturdy, well priced Disadvantages: IT could be improved if there was a foot ledge on the side to help smaller children climb through the hole.
This toy is recommended for children aged from 18months to 4 years. I bought it for my sons 1st birthday. He is able to climb through the back of the frame and go down the slide on his tummy without support. He is aready making great use of it therefore if it lasts till he is 4 then it is superb We set it up in the house for his bithday which was a mistake as it was quite diifficult to dismantle to get it outside. It took quite a bit of force by ...
