Dyson Vacuum Cleaner

What is it

This upright Dyson vacuum from Casdon has a dust box for emptying, a head that twists and turns, a visible whizzing cyclone action, working suction, realistic sounds and looks just like the real thing.

This is a great tool for role play where little ones can copy and learn.

Play Idea: Why not get them to dress up in your old clothes too, help them to use props to make the hoovering even more realistic in their imaginary play.
