ELC HappyLand Village Fire Station

Early Learning Centre is a great toyshop, where you can buy a vast selection of toys for your children, from birth right up to.... well any age, we never stop being children really. The Happy Land collections are no exception, they have been around for several years, and been popular with any of the children I have looked after. When I had my own child, I knew that he would have some of the Happy Land sets to play with. Much to my surprise, in December 2006, my mother in law told me she had bought Toby the Fire Station set, without even asking what he would like. At the time, Toby wasn't even a year old, but as my husband is a Fire-Fighter, she ...  Read the complete review

One of our new acquisitions this Christmas was the Happyland Fire Station, part of Early Learning Centre's Happyland range. This range of toys is designed to allow children to partake in creative role play and consists of a range of people, vehicles and buildings which allows you to create a make-believe town in which children can play. The bulk of our Happyland toys are kept at my son's grandparents' house and are used both my son and my niece. This item was, however, intended as a stand-alone item for use at our house and, I'm happy to say that it seems to fulfil that role. The fire station itself is an open-backed building (like most in the ...  Read the complete review

We purchased the Early Learning Centre Happyland Firestation when my sons were two. As the boys were obsessed with firemen and fire engines we thought it would prove a safe bet, and it has turned out to be a favourite. The firestation is one part of an extensive collection of happyland toys made by the early learning centre. The whole range includes a school, airport, police station, vet and many other sets, people and vehicles so that you can build a whole miniature village should you so desire! Typically of the early learning centre, the toys are good quality, sturdy toys designed to resist the rough time that toddlers can give their toys. This range ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of the Early Learning Centre Happyland range. The buildings are generally large enough for two children to play alongside one another and the bits and pieces that accessorise each set are generally well thought out, adding extra play value to the building. Probably the best thing about the range is that you can buy one building and leave it at that or you can acquire an extensive collection of different but connected playsets over a number of birthdays and christmases, knowing that the range will continue to be played with for a good few years. Happyland appeals to both boys and girls. I know some parents perceive some of the buildings as more gendered ...  Read the complete review

Early Learning Centre Happy Village Fire Station......... Now I just could not help myself this weekend in the Early Learning Centre and had to buy yet another pre-Christmas present for Jack. Jack's always had a little passion for dolls houses, I guess it is all the little rooms and doors, I really wanted to get him something like a dolls house but of course without all the pink and flowery bits that go along with it. We were looking in the Argos book but nothing much looked like what we really wanted for Jack. There was a small Fisher Price Little People house but this still looked slightly girl aimed and anyway it was an Argos ...  Read the complete review
