Galt toys are recognised as good well made toys, they are a good quality. Galt toys are having good play value being designed to teach your baby/child skills while they play.
The toy I shall talk about today is the pop up toy.

The pop up toy is a wooden toy. It is a slim wooden box 20cm long, width 15.4 cm; 48m height it weighs 340gm
There are 4 round holes in the top of the box. On the outside of the box corresponding to where the holes are drilled out are colours red yellow blue and green. In the holes 4 cylindrical figures fit, these figures are colourful red, yellow, blue green they each have a face.

These figures can be taken out of the box and put back in again they bob up and down on concealed springs in the box.
Your child will have fun making the figures bob up and down taking the figures out and putting them back in the holes, sometimes in the correctly coloured holes sometimes not. After practice your child will be able to match the coloured men and holes correctly.

This toy encourages hand eye co-ordination and colour awareness while your child is being amused by the figures that pop up and down. This toy will help your child's language expand if you talk about it while your child plays name the colours and in and out.

Your child will learn cause and effect, if he pushes the peg man down hard it will pop up. Play is a child's way of learning.
Although this is a safe toy I would recommend adult supervision for tinies as you child will undoubtedly put the peg men into their mouths they are the perfect circumference but they are long so will not easily swallow them.

This toy is recommended for a child aged one year old and over. It is really well made and will last several children playing with it. This toy is often found in nurseries and child care situations it is so durable.

You can buy this toy for £7.99 at Amazon uk or it's$17.50 from http://www.galttoys.com/ind_products.php?id=A0138L . I am sure this toy is available at other outlets too.

Have fun playing with your children's toys. Mary
