Somewhere along the way Leo fell head over heels for In The Night Garden, and in doing so I began to see an influx of toys from the show accumulating around the house. All of the plush toys seemed to stow away to his cot, and these days he won’t sleep without both of his Makka Pakka plush toys, his Iggle Piggle and of course Upsy Daisy…
Earlier
this year I even took Leo along to the live show, and after seeing his face
light up when he saw his heroes on the stage it is definitely something we will
do again.
This
month as KD Mumbassadors our task was really exciting, it was to have a play
with the KD In The Night Garden Story Case. This case is an exciting way to get
your little one’s learning as they play with their favourite characters. The
book incorporates Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy, Makka Pakka and friends in a 4
different games.
Each of
the games teaches you something new, from different colours, sounds and
numbers. You can change the game you are playing by simply adjusting the arrow
over each of the different images on the right hand side of the case. Each game
asks the child a different type of question and then allows them to respond
with one of the four colour keys that surround the circumference of the story
case.
There
are 4 pages in this book, 2 of which that are static. One at the front and one
at the back. Each of the pages are illustrated with images of the characters
and scenery from the ever popular television show.
I found
that there were a good selection of different games for Leo to play, but at
this moment in time he is quite content to just point out what he sees while he
is looking, and of course pressing any of the buttons. What would be nice to
see on this toy is a free play option that just lets the child press the
buttons to hear different sounds/tunes from the show. I think this would make
the toy an even more attractive buy.
What I
really like about all of the KD range and not just the In The Night Garden Play
Case is that they always promote play and learning. I think this is such an
important mixture that really does encourage learning. The play environment is
the perfect place to establish this, so I rest assured knowing that Leo has
toys that give him that extra support and enjoyment.
The InThe Night Garden Story Case retails at £18.99 on Amazon. This is the cheapest I
found it online and think this is a great price.
