Advantages: really good toy

Disadvantages: None

This wooden Arc is really fantastic children's toy. It is suitable for children aged 3 or over.
The size of this bright wooden arc is L340mm x W155mm x H290mm. The base of the arc is blue with paler blue water waves on the lowest part. The cabin on the top is yellow with an orange red tiled roof. There is a green ramp that can be used to get to the deck. The cabin has 4 circular windows and a curved doorway. The cabin can be taken of and put on again easily so your child can put animals in, or get them out again.

With this Arc are Mr. and Mrs. Noah and 13 pairs of animals. There are giraffes, elephants, lions, tigers, crocodiles zebras, monkeys, penguins, rabbits, sorry can not remember the others I do not have this toy at home. The animals are flat animal shapes they are magnetic they will either stick to the magnetic strips made to look like the planks of wood that make the base of the boat, or they can be posted through the slots on the removable roof . So really this boat is a shape sorter with added magnetic features.

I think this is a good toy, do play with your children remembering to call the animals by their name and your child will soon learn the names of animals , Let your child pair the animals up. Your child imagination will take over and he/she will develop their imaginary play looking after the animals feeding them taking the boat/arc on voyages.
This arc is also a useful prop for religious studies talking about the story of Noah and his Arc.

So would I recommend this toy? Yes it's a well made good sized toy very attractive and children do like playing with it.
So where to buy? I found one at http://www.woodentoysonline.co.uk/acatalog/info_BJ 312.html for £19.99 that's not a bad price for a well made wooden toy.
