If you think back to your childhood and back to some of your favourite toys as a toddler, I bet that whatever you’re thinking about, it’s a Fisher-Price toy. Perhaps that pulley chatty phone or the xylophone or even that beloved farm with the Little People. These beloved toys, from the 80’s and 90’s can still be found in people’s homes. That’s because they are durable and stand the test of time. Even today’s kids who are introduced to technology from a very young age, love and enjoy playing with Fisher Price toys, old or new.
I think the farm barnyard is definitely one of my favourite toys. My mother in-law has one of the older models at the cottage that my boys love playing with and we got a newer one for my oldest son when he was just over a year old. We recently got to test out the latest model of the farm toy; Little People Animal Friends Farm. When fully open, it’s larger than the last model but it folds up nice and compact and can even store all of the figurines inside (which is my favourite part).
My boys love putting all of the animals inside the various stalls of the barn and of course, putting them down the drop through silo. When you swing open some of the doors, they make cow and horse animal sounds. Our favourite way to play with the barn is to hold up the animals as we sing “Old McDonald had a Farm.” What toddler doesn’t love that song?
If you’re looking for a great birthday party theme for you child’s next birthday, why not make it a Farm Animal theme. There are a lot of great ideas on Fisher Price’s new Little People first birthday site. You can incorporate this toy as part of the decoration and use it to entertain the older kids by playing Barnyard Charades. The possibilities are endless with such a classic and timeless toy.
