ELC Wooden Farm

We bought this farm for our toddler when he was about 2.5 years old. The set we have is slightly different (bigger) to the one depicted in the picture here: http://www.elc.co.uk/content/img/product/109893_ma.jpg ...but the principle of the toy appears to be the same: it's a flat-pack wooden (or rather MDF) farm, consisting of several buildings (barn, cowshed, stable, chicken coop, pigsty etc.). Originally this came without animals and was I think about £20 from ELC. We bought it when it was offered with "free" animals; now it's £35 and includes the animals. It takes a while to set up, and it definitely requires an adult ...  Read the complete review

We got my son the ELC Wooden Farm for his Christmas present when he was 2 years old. He was always into animals and loved playing with horses and dogs especially, so we thought a farm would be an excellent toy for him. We paid £15 for it 2 years ago and I have just checked the ELC website and it is still the same price today. What do you get: Well there are two large wooden floor pieces with grass and a pond painted on to it. This is meant to be the basis for the farm buildings to stand round. They just sit next to each other or you can have them anyway you like - that’s the beauty of kids imagination! You also get a cowshed, a ...  Read the complete review

I bought an E L C wooden farm for Adrians 2nd birthday. This farm is a traditional wooden farm. It was 2nd birthday yesterday. I bought this farm for £15.00 I notice in their online sale today it is only £12 but there is no stock available. This set has a wooden farm base that folds into half for easy storage. This opened out measures somewhere just over about 2 feet / 60 centimetres the base is about 1 cm thick it is not quite a square. (Bother I should have measured it.) The base is green like fields. These fields have white flowers scattered on it. (Painted) A blue pond in one area of the base and it has a stone path meandering through ...  Read the complete review

We purchased the Early Learning Centre Cobblestone Farm playset for my sons third birthday. This farm set is a relatively new product to the ELC, appearing in their Autumn catalogue, so it is different from the one pictured here. It replaces the older farmset which was cheaper, although I have seen both on sale in our local shop. Cobblestone farm currently costs £45, but you get a free farm animal set worth £15 when you buy the farm. This is a wooden farm which comes flat packed in one fairly heavy box. There are two base boards and then the buildings slot together and sit on top of these. The buildings were not too difficult to assemble- we had it put ...  Read the complete review

I bought this farm set for my sons second christmas. He was given a small farm set made of plastic which made animal noises for his first christmas but seemed to get bored of it easily. I'm not a fan of plastic toys that need a constant supply of batteries and would much rather he used his imagination and created his own animal noises. The farm set consists of a base which comes in two parts with a duck pond on one side and a cabbage patch on the other and a trail of tractor tyre marks. There are also four wooden building which come in 5 peices each (four walls and a roof) that make up a chicken shed, cow shed, Stable and pig sty which can be placed around the ...  Read the complete review
