Advantages: Great sounds as cars go down
Disadvantages: None

This great click clack track comes with 4 cars in bright colours. It makes a fab click clack noise as the cars go down the tracks, encouraging your child to want to play again.

The cars are also great to play with on their own- my son loved playing car parks with them. Its lovely to see a wooden toy in this age where plastic ... Read review

I think this toy is fantastic ... Read review

...button to press to open the oven door and when you close the oven door it makes a tick noise then a ping to show your cooking is done (my son likes to pretend to cook the salt and pepper pot although gets very cross when the egg pan won't fit in). You can also turn the knob and the hob lights up and when you put the frying pan on it makes a sizzly noise. There are good points and bad points to this toy, bad points first: The oven door comes off ... Read review
