Fisher Price Toys

By 


Fisher-Price Little People have been entertaining young children for over 50 years. These charming little playthings are some of the most well-recognized toys ever created. What started as a peg shaped set of a few characters has evolved into an empire of Little People characters and accessories. The older pieces and sets are now collector's items and the recent versions are more popular with children than ever.
The first Little People figures were introduced in 1959 with a Safety School bus that included six peg shaped children that could be removed, and a driver that remained inside, and who's head moved as the bus was pushed or pulled. From 1959 until 1990 Fisher-Price continued to make the peg shaped Little People characters with various improvements in design and materials. These are called the "Original Little People" by collectors. The first complete play set was the Play Family Barn, which began selling in 1968. The barn doors made a moo sound when opened and the farm and family figures could be stored inside. It was an instant hit and a wide range of play sets followed.
After 1990 the Little People line of toys went through a few transformations leading up to today's characters. In 1991 Chunky Little People, or Jumbo Little People as collectors call them, appeared in toy stores to address the need for safer children's toys. They were wider than the originals and had more facial details. Then in 1997 articulated Little People were introduced with moving arms and legs instead of the previous peg bodies. These had even more details such as molded hair, and extra vibrant colors. And in 2000 electronic sounds and lights were added to some sets.
The Fisher-Price Little People toys available today look very different from their ancestors. Some of the animals have fur to simulate real animal textures. There are musical and talking accessories, lights, and interlocking pieces. Many of the same original play sets are still entertaining the children of today, but with modern enhancements and character roles. For example the Play Family Farm and Play Family House are favorites with toddlers and pre-school children today much the same as they were generations ago. Now there are dozens of packaged Little People sets that coordinate together and encourage creativity and imaginative role play in young children.

Toys For Toddlers

By 


Toddlers are notoriously hard to entertain on a long trip. They do not have the attention span for movies, cannot read, find it impossible to sit still, and, despite what the toy companies want you to believe, there is no fail safe travel toy that will entertain a toddler (or any child) for hours on end. So what is a parent to do? The key to entertaining toddlers on a long journey is distraction.
Instead of trying to find that perfect toy, pack a variety of simple toys that, combined with imagination, can be used in a variety of ways. Think quality - you want enough toys to be able to swap out often.
Before the trip, create a toddler activity kit containing a variety of age appropriate toys. Things like stacking cups, links, cars, puzzles and chunky crayons are all good choices. Finger puppets and small animals are fun for playing let's pretend and engaging your child for slightly longer periods of time. Think outside the box as you are selecting toys. For example, squeeze toys are always fun in the bathtub but they are perfect for creating a distraction. Puff some air in a toddler's hair or on their arm and you immediately get their attention. In desperate times you can even fill one with water and watch the giggles start.
Use your toy assortment wisely. Pull out the first thing and if it doesn't capture their attention immediately, put it away and try something else. Use toys in unusual or unexpected ways. For example, a large stacking cup can become a hat. Lastly, do not wait until they get bored with a toy to introduce a new one. Gradually transition between toys - it makes both items last a little bit longer.
The best travel toy for toddlers is a well stocked activity bag that allows you to continually distract them. With a little imagination, you might even enjoy the trip.
Activity kits make the best travel toys. Jenny Untermeyer is the founder of TravelKiddy - the premier children's travel activity company. Visit today for a selection of activity kits, travel tips and more.
