Advantages: Children like him

Disadvantages: Rubbish balls get lost

Here he comes to clean the streets its Bristle a toy from Born to play is a plastic copy of Bristle one of Bob the builders helpers .

Bristle is a street cleaner. The children that I know love Bob the builder toys . Bristle is a grey engine with a blue waste unit trailer which has a grey flip top lid for emptying the rubbish .
Like all bob the builder characters Bristle has a face the headlights are his eyes with white lights which have a black dot in the centre to represent the pupils .
The radiator grid at the front of the engine looks like his mouth, On top of the cab there are two yellow plastic bits to represent lights these look like eyebrows .
Under the front of the cab there are two rubber bristles these work they will pick up the grey litter balls that are provided and these end up in the waste unit. These balls can then be removed by opening the door on the waste unit . The waste unit will tilt.

Bristle is a good size he is 9/5 x 15 x 8cm.

We use bristle on the floor , on a table or on the road mat. I find he will, pick up small items that we scatter to represent rubbish as well as those balls.

I like this Bob the builder toy. It encourages imaginary play from the children. Also is good for their gross and fine motor skills.
Sometimes I try to encourage a child to push the vehicle to me , this is sometimes difficult for my children, letting go of the toy and pushing in the right direction. This action also is encouraging them to relate to others and interact with them.

Yes if you have a Bob mad child I would recommend this toy its suitable for children aged 3 and over .
Bristle will cost you £6.75 from http://www.scifind.co.uk £7.99 at http://www.toys-hobbies.co.uk

Have fun playing with your children and their toys Mary
