THE GOLD STANDARD IN CHILDHOOD PLAY: For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News in the US called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” This item is great for learning different animals, you could use puppets along with the board to make it more engaging. Open each door to reveal an animal, you have a horse, fish, frogs, cats and more. Ask the child to say which animal it is, create the noise of the animal and encourage repetition. If the child is advanced and of age, link to letters, for example, H is for horse. Get10%off this product using the code APRIL1. Valid until midnight on the 23 rd April. Buy yours today.
