...I have played with this farm (alongside a child) at a play centre and would like to tell you about it. . This farm is a wooden farm it comes with a thin wooden plywood base that is painted green to represent grass and has a blue area to represent water painted on in one of the corners. A few flowers are also painted on the green board as well as a path of stepping stones. . There are some farm buildings. The buildings are natural wood coloured with red roofs. There is a dog kennel, a windmill the sails do rotate. An open fronted wooden building with a few shelves this is stabling for the horses or shelter for the cows the chickens can roost on the shelves. Then a wooden building for the pig sty, perhaps as they do just fit inside it. . The essential feature of the farm is the animal,s I will admit The farm I played...

Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

Advantages: Easy to clean, Long lasting, Good support for child
Disadvantages: Altering seat/foot plates

...of colours to suit your tastes too. The main aim of the chair is so your baby/child can sit up at the table with you, (there is no food tray) therefore encouraging your little one to join in with the family and feel a part of what is going on. the way the highchair has been designed means that it doesn't take up much space and is solid so won't tip over. it is pleasant to look at so doesn't have to be hidden away. the main design with the seat and foot plate is that they can be moved up or down to accomodate your child's size, encouraging them to sit up straight and with their feet on a base rather than hanging freely. Most highchairs i've seen, the child ends up sitting slouched or has slid down and ends up in a twisted position. The wood is easy to clean, and the covers are washable, although it is harder to take the seat cushion off...

Review of Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

Tripp Trapp Chair

Advantages: baby to adult use; good posture
Disadvantages: chair can be flipped by child; difficult to get cushions off

...My husband found this chair and we have been very happy with it. We live in a small house and have no where to store a high chair so we got this chair in black (to match our table) and it stays at the table with our chairs. Our son is now 12 months old and we have been using it with him since he was 6 months. We have never used the restraints on it and our son has always sat very upright in it. Other high chairs that he has sat in, he has slumped forward in. This one keeps him in excellent posture. It sits right up to the table and is a perfect height. He sits with us at the table at lunch and dinner and he feels more part of the family. The Tripp Trapp is supposed to encourage good eating habits and manners from an early age as the baby eats at the table with you instead of to the side with a tray. The cost is justified by...

Advantages: Good for pretend play
Disadvantages: None

...Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you, would you like a piece of cake, yes please did you say. He, hee here is a piece ha, don't eat it, its wooden, fooled you. The birthday cake that I am reviewing is a toy one it is available from http://www.woodentoysonline.co.uk/acatalog/WoodenRolePlayCooking.html costs £11.99p. Maybe that's a lot of money for a toy cake, but this wooden cake is well made and robust would survive many play hours, real or pretends birthdays. Suitable for children aged 3 and over. This "cake" is a rectangle 200mm long, 220 wide and40mm deep. It is pre sliced into 6 equal pieces. The"cake" is a sandwich cake with "jam" filling. It is an "iced cake" with decorations on some sprinkles a few strawberries and other coloured round blobs. Looks quite realistic. This cake has 5 candles on it and a happy...

The devil's chair

Advantages: Lots of twists and keeps you guessing to the last minute
Disadvantages: can be a little confusing, all in all a good film

.... The chair is a wooden contraption with handcuffs and drills that go through the juggler vien, it takes you to another dimenson, where a monster chases them. Andrew Howard who plays the insane Nick West delivers his lines brilliantly, and really makes you belive the charecter is insane. He calls the doctor Gandalf, a lot of his lines are insane thoughts that you hear. By the end of the film just has you think you may have figured it out, you will still be pondering. If you don?t like gore type horror films this probably won?t be for you. As an horror film it is very good and surpisingly its a British one. It has more twists than Spaghetti Junction. A film I would reccomend to friends, maybe not to my mum though. There are special features on the dvd which I'm not reviewing but they are as follows: Writer/Director comentray...

Review of The Devil's Chair (DVD)

I love this chair!

Advantages: Excellent quality, really solid, baby can join in family meals at the table
Disadvantages: Personally haven't found any yet.....

...I'm so pleased with this chair! The Tripp Trapp is a Swedish design which has been developed in order to grow with your baby right through to adulthood. They have been around for ages, and I know various family friends who have had the same chair(s) for twenty-five years, now using them at the computer or still at the kitchen table. So the longevity of a product like that is a distinct advantage, particularly since with highchairs the usual shelf-life is so short and they end up in the loft / cellar after a few years. The quality of the wood, and the design, contributes to this longevity. It really feels solid. You have to build it yourself but it's only a few parts and the instructions are very easy to follow. If you're buying for a baby then you need to buy the baby kit, which comprises of a higher curved back and a front...

Review of Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair

More than just another high chair

Advantages: Grows with your child
Disadvantages: No tray

...A Stokke Tripp Trapp chair is a well designed piece of furniture that will last long after your child has grown up and left home. I bought mine when my baby was 6 months old complete with the baby kit for around £125.00. It was simple to assemble and feels very sturdy and stable. Alex was comfortable in it from to word go, and it blends in well with the rest of our furniture. It is available in a large range of wood finishes to blend in with any decor. The high chair is designed without a tray so that you child gets used to eating at the table with the rest of the family from an early age. I was very wary of this at first and almost didn't purchase it for that reason but I must say that I have not missed the tray one little bit. As your child grows, the baby kit can be removed turning it into an ordinary chair which you can...
