IQ Builders Playtime Bus

Full review ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- My little boy was beginning to outgrow some of his baby toys, so it was off to our local car boot sale to see what I could spy. Amongst other finds (to be reviewed at a later date) I bagged an I.Q builders interactive bus. Its bright yellow colour was what first attracted me to it (, well that and the price of £1.00 including batteries!) What it looks like ???????? . The bus as I have said is bright yellow, and made of hard plastic. Around the sides it has brightly coloured paper, multi cultural passengers, there is also a female driver (very ...  Read the complete review

IQ builders learning bus This fabulous toy has a multitude of uses as well as a great learning toy! The bus itself is bright yellow, and has pictures of the passengers and the driver on the side.

A multifunction play bus! This bus is quite sturdy and suitable for children aged one and over. It runs on batteries (included) and has various buttons to press. It plays tunes and phrases, letter names and phonic sounds, and numbers 1 to 10. The buttons are in themselves educational in that they are different colours and shapes, and those relating to number and letter sounds are number and letter shaped. Above all it is fun,and for the smallest child it is wonderful for pushing along and pressing buttons at random. However, I have found that its real strength is in teaching phonic letter sounds. I have used it to very good effect with somewhat older ...  Read the complete review
