Cat-Related Children’s Toys
Sunday, October 21st, 2007I was in the family room to see what my younger son was watching on TV this Saturday morning. The usual run of commercials showed up. One was pleasantly surprising: a veterinary hospital play set! I remember the LEGO zoo and farm play sets we bought when the boys were younger. Not much else was available, except for stuffed animals of varying quality.
I was intrigued. We like toys that stimulate the imagination and allow for role playing, while teaching our children to think. So I went on a short hunt for other pet-related play sets and toys. These toys can also be used to stimulate family discussions about nurturing, being responsible for a pet’s life, etc. Or just for fun.
Fisher Price has Sonya Lee and Her Pet Salon and Chutes and Ladders with a pet twist: Rescue Hero’s Pet Rescue
FurReal Friends: Jungle Cat (Leopard Cub) or the tamer Calico or Marmalade
A few of Hasbro’s Pet Shop play set and add-ons:
Littlest Pet Shop Little Lovin’ Pet Playhouse
Cat & Dog
Persian Cat with Carrier
Even the venerable toy icon Barbie has Barbie Pet Doctor Kit with Cat
Then there are these imagination prompting play sets, too:
Deluxe Complete Little Kitten Care Set for Children
Learning Resources: Pretend and Play Animal Hospital
Parents’ Animal Hospital
Step2′s Village Veterinarian Accessory Set
