What our experts think
Children loved playing with the 1.2.3. Noah’s Ark, taking care of the animals and moving them on and off of the boat. This is good for encouraging imagination and creativity, as well as promoting nurturing behaviour. The floating boat and animals can get children playing with water and learning what objects sink or float. We like that everything can be stored in the boat, which is handy for tidying up as well as encouraging pretend play on the go. Holding and playing with the small figures helps strengthen the hand and finger muscles (known as fine motor control) which are important to develop the tripod grasp for things like writing.
