Advantages: Supposed to maintain dexterity and finger control, good price Disadvantages: far too hard for small children
The Early Learning Centre have a range of their own brand toys that they sell for a reasonable price. Generally they are either £5 or £10. They are based on well known game brands that sell for much more.
One of these games is "Pet Vet" which is based on "Operation".
