Wonderworld Rainbow Sound Blocks - good toy or just appeal to parents aesthetically ?

[oswald]

Has anyone got this toy ? It looks nice but not sure it would actually be played with. Any info gratefully received in the search for the perfect Xmas present for 2 year old DD2.TIA

nobody ever had this toy?

never had this one, but have givin this make (diggers and things) to lots of 2/3 year old boys for nice robust presents - have been fab

never seen it - have you got a link to a page for it? sounds like something dd might love!

Tried to do a link but I'm crap and I cant but have a look on mailorderexpressdotcom and put in name of toy - what do you think , maybe 2 is a bit old now for this I cant decide.

I wrote about them for a catalogue once and they looked lovely. Would think they''d be better for a younger child personally.

If you've got the Urchin catalogue they do a lovely wooden flower set which has been a massive success - you make a little wooden garden with flowers and bees (by slotting it all together) - very good for that age group.

its here, Bee and Flower Garden

Thanks for that tip enid - it's definitely worth considering - the only thing that puts me off is having to pick up all the bits! How old is/are your kid/s that play with it ?

bump for enid - if you're around could you tell me a bit more about this toy ie questions below, any info gratefully received.I will find something she'll like!

sorry, only just seen this.

My dd2 is 2 and LOVES it but so does my 4 year old! Yes, there are bits and they roll away but I keep the whole thing in a plastic Ikea box with lid which contains it slightly.

Would recommend. The bits fit onto wooden sticks, its easy but they really feel like they are making something.

Thanks enid that sounds perfect and I have a 2 and 4 year old so anything that promotes playing together sounds like a good thing.

Oh well then, you need Olives Garden !! Loads more bits and a bit old for them really but its the thing my two love so much - fiddly plastic bits that you thread onto plastic sticks to make flowers and 'plant' into polystyrene 'ground' - they both LOVE it!
