Asda have
a new range of Little Tikes toys which is exclusively sold at Asda. The new Little Tikes range of toys for little
ones consists of a number of colourful, interactive, engaging and fun toys.
From the
new Little Tikes range of toys Asda sent Bug the Little Tikes Hen Friends set to
play with.
Little
Tikes Hen Friends is an early learning toy aimed at little ones aged 12 months+. Hen Friends consists of four colourful hens that
click together to be stacked, nested inside of each other or played with as
four individual little friends.
Little
Tikes Hen Friends is a lovely stacking and nesting toy and great for little
ones to play with, learning as they have fun exploring, investigating and
playing with their four hen friends. I
think it is great that the Hen Friends can be played with in a number of ways
and I think the eye-catching hens are perfect for imaginative play, hand eye
coordination and developing motor skills.
I love how colourful and cute the hens are and I think the vibrant hens
are very appealing to little ones with the adorable hens making fab little
friends.
Hen
Friends are described as hens that ‘click closed’ and ‘click’ together,
unfortunately we have found that the hens do not click securely closed as such
they do not stay together when you move them and even when you nest them inside
of each other often when you open them up again the smaller hens inside are no
longer stuck together. The benefit of
this is that little hands will not struggle to prise the hens apart as they
would if the click connection was stronger but the downside is that one little
knock and the hens come apart and I have found little ones get frustrated that
their little hen friends do not stay complete especially when attempting to
move them.
As Bug is
2½ years old, even though he has played with the Hen Friends and has enjoyed
hiding little treats and his Lego Duplo friends inside of the hens, this
stacking and nesting toy is a little young for him so he has shared the hens
with his little friend who is 15 months old.
Bug’s little friend is at the ideal age to benefit from playing with the
Hen Friends and every time he visits for a play date he loves playing with the
colourful hens and giggles galore can be heard when Bug hides little treats
inside the hens for his little pal to find.
Overall I
think the Little Tikes Hen Friends set is a lovely stacking and nesting toy and
even though it is a shame that they do not truly click together, little ones
can still have lots of fun playing with the little hens which priced at £8 is
great value for a toy that provides entertainment, encourages imaginative play,
helps develop hand eye co-ordination and motor skills.
