The Stack Around Sillytown by Fisher Price is what is known as an early development toy. It is a plaything that offers babies from six to twenty-four months of age to learn while they play. While playing, they will be exposed to colors, lights, sounds, and learn about keeping their toys tidy. Babies will be thrilled with the fun surprises, silly faces, and motorized action that they will find while exploring the town. This item features eight colorful plastic blocks and one ‘vehicle block’, which comes with wheels like a block car. Babies can swipe or bat at the roller along the bridge in the town and are rewarded with spinning colors and lights, and surprise peek-a-boo actions. Babies can also stack blocks up easily on the tower and when they bump the lever, the plastic blocks come tumbling down, rewarding the baby with an array of happy music and lights. The vehicle car can be sat on top of the ramp and pushed to go rolling down like a car down a hill. Also, there are a good amount of bumps and grooves that your baby can easily stack the blocks in and build things. It is one of the best toys 2009.
Another great feature of the Stack Around Sillytown is that it comes with a storage bin, into which all of the pieces fit neatly with plenty of extra room. Your baby will learn how to keep a tidy play place when they are rewarded with music and flashing lights for putting their blocks into the storage bin and closing the lid. That’s a great life-skill this kids toy teaches.
Some assembly is required with this item. Most parents report that it takes approximately twenty minutes to get it fully assembled and the pieces snapped and screwed together, but once that’s complete, your little one will start enjoying it almost immediately. Because it has its own storage bin, it can go anywhere your little one does whether that includes play dates or grandma’s house.
There are several exciting features for the tiniest ones. From adding the blocks to the storage bin to listening to the fun tunes it continual plays, to just working with the blocks themselves, kids have a great time with this item. Stacking the blocks, knocking them down, and starting over again are all essential for a child’s development, and this item offers that and more. It should hold a toddler’s attention for some time, and while they may not be ready for every feature as soon as you give them the toy, given enough time, they’ll get the gist of most features pretty quickly. All in all, the Stack Around Sillytown is a wonderful item that is well built and well worth the cost.
