This construction truck thank you card is perfect for pairing with our construction birthday party invitation design or on its own. It is quite versatile, as it can be used as a flat card, with either a plain back for writing notes & putting into an envelope, or a postcard back for mailing directly; or as a folded card, with room to write inside (or to have a message pre-printed) & a fun construction ribbon on the back. The inside can be left a solid orange to write your own notes, or be pre-printed with a message. The back of the card can feature a photo of the birthday boy at play if desired & we can customize the colors to match your invitation or party.

All we had was the cell phone camera but it was too priceless not to capture!

Why do children latch into certain toys, waking up and asking about that one or two toys immediately? Lil’ Duck asks about his Pat Pat Rocket every morning and it is never far from him throughout his day.

As an adult it doesn’t look all that appealing to me, but putting the characters in their correct seats (of course they had to enter the rocket by stepping three times on the steps), closing the cover and having it make sounds is exciting each time for this 3 year old. I will admit the sounds are annoying to me while other adults don’t find them that way – hey, what child’s toy doesn’t make sound?

This would appeal to the child in the 2 – 4 year old range when repetition and putting little plastic “people” in their correct places is at it’s strongest.

Yes, the child whacks the cute moles with a plastic mallet and those moles pop back up with a giggle! The moles are dressed with hard-hats if that makes you feel better .

Lil’ Duck was delighted on Christmas morning to find a toy where he could take it out and have some good ol’ fun and have the Whac-A-Mole Game light up and giggle back at him. I was pleased to discover that there are various levels of play with a flip of a switch and it does teach the child to listen for their tune rather than just randomly whacking away. Another bonus is the child can play solo or with up to 4 players so this would make a good multi-age game for families.

What goes up the ladder? What goes down the trap door? All types of play cars of course! With a pre-schooler’s imagination, any toy can play in the Tree House…and you thought only little play people would want to play in on the different levels and climb the rope, how boring! The cars are the creatures of choice at the moment, they even lounge in the hammock…

Thankfully this Wooden Tree House is very durable (should be after all the pieces and connections Mommy and Daddy had to put together and already has many hours of play in the land of imagination for older toddlers and pre-schoolers. Well worth the investment and will be used far longer than many other toys.
