Discovery toys?

[sunnydays]

I think I want one of those 'choke tubes'!! That would be fantastic! Sometimes I look at small toys and wonder just how big it has to be not to go down those little windpipes. I will have to look into getting one of those

I have the ball castle and the boat too and both are favourites. I also have the pegboard but the pegs are too small to just leave it out - but on a safety note the pegs do have a hold in them for lacing so if they were swallowed there would still be a tiny air hole but still they are on the shelf and used under supervision. I have a daisy shaped pegboard with big pegs for leaving out.

I love the nubby ball and the sensory vanilla smelling one - it's a blue silicon gell one.

I have found a lot of the same toys available in stores - battat makes many of them so you have to compare prices too.

One thing that is great form discovery toys is the choke tube. They have a tube that if a toy fits into it then it is unsafe for use by young children and a great thing for checking sizes of pieces.

I noticed at the CCPRN office when I was there on Sunday that they have a couple of the tubes on the resource shelf and I assume you can sign them out for a couple weeks and check things around the house. Kathy-Ann Laman another CCPRN member is a discover toys vendor and gives members a deduction.
