Each toy is designed to fuel an endless world of imaginative play, while encouraging the kind of play-based exploration that naturally promotes key developmental skills. The sturdy wooden play pieces are tested to today's highest standards of quality and safety. Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn: Ask the child to write his/her name (or first initial) on a postcard and "mail" it. Write a word on a postcard and ask the child to use a crayon to copy the letters onto another postcard. Ask the child to play "mail carrier" by distributing the letter and postcards to people in the family, then collecting them again. The "recipients" may use the crayons to add a message or delivery instructions for the mail carrier. Dimensions: 7.87" x 7" x 4" Assembled Recommended Ages: 4+ years
