We were recently sent a Create a World to review. Unfortunately my twins felt it was "for babies" and were not interested in it. Luckily I know another mummy of twins who was more than happy to receive it for her boys.
Julie's Review
Review of Simply Good – “Create-a- World” – soft imaginative game offering endless playtime fun.
Suitable for 12 months plus
(My kids are 3 ½ boys(twins) and 7 year old girl)
Younger product than I would buy for this age but they did have good interactive fun with it for about 20 minutes or so.
Having researched the price I felt it was a little bit too expensive for what it was. (Approx RRP £45ish??) Would probably pay around £20 if buying as a present for younger children.
Size of product did mean that more than one child could play with it.
Equally great for mummy and me time as the play mat is big enough for you and child to sit around on the floor.
Great detail on the fuzzy felt pieces, great bright colours to capture younger childrens imagination.
Promotes interactive play between older and younger children (or mum and younger toddler) as there is simply so much to talk about. Colours, people, make up stories etc. and it can really encourage children to chat about what they are creating.
Opportunity to link animals or people to settings and then talk about it. Giving children good language skills.
My older child took the lead and the boys followed her and they were imagining what would happen between the characters etc and what would link with what. Eg princess with castle and dragon etc. Never heard my boys talk so much!!
Think as a child gets older it would be nice to have wall mounted and then they could create a scene as some wall art.
My kids biggest disappointment was on the box it showed a beach scene and a sun. They searched endlessly for these pieces to link with their scene and story and could not find them. We counted the pieces at the end (there were 61 present as stated on the box) but not all of the ones depicted on the exterior of the product. I found this a little misleading as they felt short changed by it. (Perhaps they should state on outside “may contain only some of the pieces depicted”). (On Amazon it says comes with 90 pieces so this may have been rectified…??)
To summarise I would say a great product for say 12 mths – 2 ½ years old but a little expensive and misleading packaging. 6 out of 10??
Julie's review is complete and unedited in anyway. I think she (and the children) did a great job of reviewing this set.
