The Toysmith Busy Zoo Activity Center is a great educational toy for your 1+ year old child. The Busy Zoo Activity Center is always a popular toy at Christmas and this year will be no different. The Activity Center is a great present for all young children. All parents want the best for their child. This toy is both fun and educational. This article review the toy in depth and provide you with an unbiased vies of this toy.
The Busy Zoo Activity Center has 5 sides of fun and learning. The top has colorful wooden balls looped through a number of colorful figured wire loops. Your child is able to move the blocks from one side to another. There are also several pictures of animals placed onto wooden blocks that can also be moved along tracks built into the top of the unit.
Another side has a series of 4 brightly painted wood doors. On each door is the coat pattern of a particular animal coat design, such as a zebra. When the child opens the door, there is a name of the animal as well as a picture of what the animal looks like. This approach is great for teaching your child what an animal looks like, how to spell its name and what characteristic feature its coat has.
Another side of the center also has a series of painted wooden blocks. This time however, each block has an individual letter of the alphabet. An example picture of the object or animal that starts with that letter is also shown. As with the previous side with the 4 doors, your child will quickly learn how to spell the name of the object or animal as well as learn what it looks like.
The third side has a window with some 4 sided blocks. Each block has an animal painted onto it. By turning the blocks around your child can learn what the correct combination is for the particular animal, such as a lion etc. Also, they can use their imagination to create a new hybrid animal by moving the blocks more randomly.
The last side of the Busy Zoo Activity Center has 3 colorful painted knobs which are linked to a vertical track. The knobs have a picture of a snail, gorilla or elephant painted onto them. Your child can have fun moving them up and down as well as twisting them around.
So what are the main benefits of the Busy Zoo Activity Center
One of the major benefits to your child is that they can learn at the same time as having fun. Each side of the Busy Zoo Activity Center provides a new and exciting way to stimulate your child’s imagination. Each side is also highly interactive making use of pictures of animals, words and bright colors. So your child can learn about colors, shapes, patterns, animals, spelling and combination. Above all they will have lots of fun at the same time.
