Fireman Sam - Set of 5 Articulated Figures

We have a huge plastic box of plastic figures at work When I was playing with them last week I found myself playing with these Martin Yaffe fireman Sam figures. These figures are also sold under the born to play label.

I notice there is a set of 5 of these figures available including Sam, Tom, Penny, Nurse Flood and Norman. They all look identical to the tv characters dressed in their uniforms ready for action. The faces of these figures are more expressive have more character than Playmobil figures
These figures are all about 9cm tall a good size for a child to grip and move about. They all have movable arms legs and head. Their hands cup shaped will grasp and hold the steering wheel of the fire engine.

This set of figures is good very durable, will wash well in hot soapy water. They have good play value for a child who likes the fireman Sam series.

As I sit playing with these figures and the children I listen to the children's conversation. The children are playing out real life situations and ones they have seen on the television. While playing I will drop words and sentences into the conversation to extend the children's vocabulary
One day they might need a real fireman "Sam" or a nurse "flood" these toys will help prepare them for that event. These toys could also be used in play therapy after a situation.

Children like these figures so do I. While playing with these figures children are learning. Learning how to play with each other cooperation with others, sharing a valuable lesson to learn . These figures can be used as props in many educational themes. Use them to illustrate a fireman story.

This set of figures would be ideal for a child aged 3 and over up to about 5or 6 years old for a Christmas present. They cost around £10 Amazon has them for £9.99 . I expect you will be able to buy them in many on and off line toy shops and departments.
