I was recently able to review a toy from an online store called ebeanstalk. Ebeanstalk has great educational toys, as well as educational baby gifts. The toy that my family got to review is called Activity Bus from Plan Toys (a company that makes eco-friendly wooden toys).
The Activity Bus is for kids three and over, due to some small parts. I will admit that when I first saw it, I thought, “This is too young for Molly,” as she is almost five. But, as soon as I opened the box, I realized that this was right up her alley.
Molly was excited as soon as I pulled it out. I told her that she was going to be my very important toy tester, and that she had to tell me what she thought of it. I liked that the set not only looked nice, but it felt nice. It was definitely well made and just looked fun.
Molly initially played with it for at least 30 minutes. I walked by several times, and she was happily playing school in the school bus turned school house. This toy was definitely a hit with her!
She and I did both have one issue with it, however, it was difficult to get the people to sit in the desks. While we could get them in (Molly often needed my assistance at first), they did sometimes “pop” back out.
Overall, I would say that this is definitely something that I might give as a gift to someone, but probably not for a younger child (who is over three), just because of the difficulty with keeping the people seated. However, I am really interested in seeing more toys by Plan Toys based on how well made the Activity Bus is.
Disclosure: I received this toy for free to review. Although I was asked to include three specific links, I was not told how to review this toy. I did not receive any compensation for this review other than to keep the toy following the review.
