Toddlers Toys


#25 Review a Toddlers Toy


As our children grow, so does everything else about them. Their developmental needs and interests change dramatically and its important to shop for toys which have an appropriate level of entertainment and educational function. Especially if you have had little contact with children, when faced with the growing needs of your own children it is easy to become swamped with all of the choices available in the toy aisle. Many gift buyers utilize the internet to research toys and take keen notice of the reviews about the toys.

Your task this week is to write a review for a toy aimed at babys and toddlers. Your article aught to be around the 250 word mark and appropriate for inclusion on an internet based parents magazine. Include a photo of the toy of your choice, availability and links to where it may be purchased. Other things you may like to keep in mind whilst writing your review :

Is the toy easy to keep clean?

Is the toy versatile? Can it be altered in anyway as the child grows, by adding parts or removing parts or by buying extension packs or add-ons (how much would extra bits cost)

Is the toy unisex, or very obviously orientated towards one sex?

Is the toy easy to store away?

Are batteries included and what size? Do they last long?

Taking a break


Review This - Taking a Break

This writing prompt was set up to give myself - and any others who wandered past - an opportunity to write about different experiences as practice for reviewing sites, magazines and newspapers.

I had 'put it out there' that I would be be able to publish some of my articles this year and have been really blessed to find not one but two weekly columns to write for.

I will start putting prompts up again for this site when the dust settles...

in the mean time - check out where I am writing - please pop by and make some comments
