The Friendly Little Toy .......

Advantages: A toy that will clean the house & keep kids amused.
Disadvantages: Nothing this benifits everyone, even parents....

.... What made this very appealing to both me and my nephew is the fact that he looks exactly like a regular Henry, he is bright red with a black hat and has a very greeting face with a huge smile and big white eyes. This little Henry is powered by 4 x C batteries which do last a long time, this powers the hoover so it makes the humming noise when it is turned on and it also generates the suction which allows the toy to actually pick up any dirt, dust and crumbs. With this actually picking up dirt you can get the little ones to do your cleaning, for the hard to reach areas the kids can use one of the many attachments and even the little red dust pan and brush that comes with this Henry. For this being a toy the suction is rather good as it even picks up dog hair that has stuck itself to the carpet, but as the batteries died out this got...

Review of Casdon Little Henry Toy Vacuum Cleaner

Little People toys have given hours of fun!!

Advantages: Easy for little hands to hold, encourage imaginative play
Disadvantages: can be expensive to buy lots of sets

.... In a way they are also educational, as they can introduce children to real-life situations, such as going on a plain or train, plus animals sounds etc (on the farm). Overall, I would highly recommend Little People as a well made and long lasting toy for both boys and girls. Needless to say, my daughter will be getting more for her birthday or Christmas!!...

Review of Fisher-Price Little People Range

Welcome to the world of little people

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...For over 40 years, little people toy's have been specially designed to engage children on different levels, encouraging them to make new discoveries. My 1 year old was brought little people fun sound's train for christmas and it is brilliant. ~~~~WILL IT HELP MY CHILD TO LEARN?~~~~~ Little peoples toy's are designed to help your child learn from the ages of 12 months to 5 years, at the youngest age, your little one will begin by exploring little people toys, which help discover how his actions can make things happen. As your children grow, they will begin to act out stories about themselfs, using toys to imitate the real world experiences they have seen or tried them out themself's. With older children, imagination comes into play as they move from imitative play into creating a pretend world where anything can happen, this kind...

Review of Fisher-Price Little People Range

Big Fun with Little People!!

Advantages: great range, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: so much choice you want them all!!!

...I decided to review the Fisher Price Little People range as one rather than all the individual items. You may have seen the review for the Lights and Sound Garage, which is part of this range. I actually bought my son a few of the Fisher Price range for Christmas and am pleased I did. The range includes Gararge, Farm, House, Zoo and Safari and Construction Site. They are available from all the major toy shops such as ToyrUs but Woolworths seem to the be the biggest stockists, that I have seen in the North Yorkshire area. The actual products that I have purchased are the Lights and Sound Garage and Farmyard. We also have the Construction Site add on set, rather than the full playset. Fisher Price have always been renowned for their childrens toys and although their designs have changed drastically over the years, they are...

Review of Fisher-Price Little People Range

learning little people

Advantages: Excellent for learning
Disadvantages: none

...I bought some little people toys for my daughter at xmas as my sister had bought for her daughter a few years back and i remember it kept her one amused so i thought this would be good for my daughter being almost 2 this was perfect for her. I bought her the zoo and the train set. The zoo is grea twith the animals and the noises they make she thought this was fun putting the animals in their places and hearing a noise when she did this you get the seal,lion,bird,elephant, monkey,polar bear,camel and the zoo keeper and car. When neach of these animals are placed in the zoo they make a noise which is rewarding and learning for you child to match the animal with noise. With the monkey you hit a lever and this makes the monkey jump to get to his bananas this makes a noise when you do this she loves this and forever does it...

Review of Fisher-Price Little People Range

Little People occupies your little ones!

Advantages: prices, large range, kids love 'em!
Disadvantages: packaging!

...Little People is a new updated range of plastic toys for children aimed at children from 1 to 5 years old. There is a large range of toys that intermingle. Toys, which we currently have in our household, include Noah's Ark, the fairground range and the Garage. All get played with everyday, which is some mean feat when my son, aged 23 months has so many different toys to play with. Little People are of course made by Fisher Price and are available in ?All good toy stores!? I personally have found the best range to be at Toys R Us and Woolworths. The toys are tough and durable just as you would expect from a company with a reputation such as they have. With all the items I have brought from this range I have had no problem them, all the sets have come complete no missing pieces or any damaged. The assembling was minimal and some...

Mix and match these people

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: none

...This pick and mix card game from Orchard toys is good fun for children aged 3 to 7 years old. It has been around for several years now. I have played with it in a few different play settings. This game it is available from several toy shops between £5 and £8 This toy is basically a set of people cards that have been cut into 3 . Heads bodies and legs. The idea of the game is to match them up to make a complete person. There is a policeman, a cow girl, a fireman. a pirate, a king , a clown, a boy , a girl ,a nurse There are a 12 characters in all 36 cards but I can not remember who they are. There are several ways you can play this game depending on the level of the players . You can use this game as a simple matching game just trying to build the people correctly. You could play this with one child as a simple matching...

Review of Orchard Toys Pick & Mix People

Little people have big Fun on the farm

Advantages: lots of things to do, really educational and fun
Disadvantages: makes noises and needs batteries

...The world of little people by fisher price has so many options to choose from or indeed to collect over time. I chose to buy the ?world of little people? farm, as my little girl loves animals and from an early age was obsessed with trying to mimic their noises. With the help of this toy, she now recognises and mimics all the farm animals perfectly (and even confused her Nan into thinking there was a cat in the garden during one of her impersonations). Initially I was angry at fisher price for changing their toy people from my memories of them as a child. I sulked for a while, but then realised that their new style people are much safer and more child friendly. Everything in the world of little people range is made of strong and robust plastic, all of which has a lovely soft and quality finish. When my daughter was a baby i said that...

Review of Fisher-Price Little People Range

Little People Noahs Ark

Advantages: Chunky pieces, opens up completely so easy to play with
Disadvantages: None that I have come across

...This was one of the first of the many little people playsets that I have got for the children and they love it. The Ark does need minimal assembly when first opened. You will need to secure the cabin onto the deck of the Ark with two screws (supplied..but phillips screwdriver required). Snap a little door on to the cabin. You now have your Ark in two whole pieces, the hollow base and the deck roof, that snap together to make the completed Ark. Now you are ready to go. The roof comes off easily by pressing a large red button at one end..very easy for children to do. The hollow Ark base itself opens right up, again with a very easy to do release button, which allows childrens to play right inside. There is also a ramp door for the animals to go into the Ark 2 by 2! The set comes with rainbow flag that sits on top of the Ark...
