SmartLap Toys is such a fun store they take a lot of the work out of hunting down great gifts. They make smart, educations, and fun toys for children 4 to 12 years old. Of course those are guidelines and older children I am betting will enjoy playing with some of these as well.
Have you ever seen older kids playing with younger kids toys? I have seen it often, even in adults. This is a sign of a great toy. It is no wonder we all love the Amazing Squishy Trex!
Winner of the 2012 Dr. Toy Best Picks for Children’s Products Award
You can click on the above photo to go to the site and order this geektastic toy! It is sold for $27.00 I have found the company easy to work with and shipping was fast. This is a new toy for Fall 2012 so chances are the child your hunting for a gift for doesn’t yet have one.
This Dinosaur toy is made for children 7 and up. It doesn’t require batteries so it will not be a loud toy that will make others nuts. It will however dazzle the mind and help explain the insides of a creature children seem to love.
Components:
- 8 T. rex shell pieces, solid and transparent
- 5 squishy parts
- 6 bone pieces
- 3 muscles
- Display stand
And a 24 page Book — This book is very eye catching and has clear facts that children can pick out quickly. Deeper understanding of how we think the parts of a Dinosaur worked and how modern understanding helps us know these things can be found in this book as well.
The squishy parts of this Dinosour puzzle are really the high lights of this. As gross as it might seem, it is just a wounder to small children and it helps them picture what is
One of the things I love about this toy is that I think it is a good door to some of the other toys this company has with the human body and human brain. I think my son would have found this too gross at first but I think introducing the Dino toy first will help him enjoy a human toy that will show our insides without being turned off by it. Of course some kids love the insides of things and do not find toys like that gross at all. Some other kids love anything they think is gross in the first place. What ever the case, this toy and others like are fun and educational and I think are so much better than books alone to help children understand the body, either of a Dinosaur or of a person.
This company, being the smart company that it is has offered to give one reader a Amazing Squishy Trex! Please check the gift guide soon to enter!
