My nine-year-old daughter has enjoyed many of the books in these Carole Marsh mysteries, but this one was terrible!!!!
Customer Review: Carole Marsh Stories
It is a great read. After visiting the Charlestown Shipyard and Old Ironside with my 5th graders, it was fun to listen to them talk about things in the book that were similar to what they saw on our field trip.
Not to long ago parents looking to by presents were faced with a huge dilemma. The majority of toys, which were made overseas in factories that were left unchecked, coated with plastic that was later found to contain deadly amounts of lead. The toy companies and manufactures were left to answer many angry parents' questions of where the responsibility lay.U.S. consumers wondered if they simply turned a blind eye, disregarded the health risks for the bottom line for their stock holders or just didn't care. This has given wooden toy sets a, especially wooden play food sets remarkable come back in the market.
Many parents turned to alternatives, looking for made in America, US based products as well as other companies who took only pride in their work but more importantly the children. Wooden toys became highly popular among parents, knowing that their children would be safe playing with these products.One such example is the wooden play food sets.
Most often than not, these wooden food sets are for little children who usually spend time at home, pre-school or school- these are even found in some of the play areas of Children's museums. They allow children to emulate their parents shopping in grocery stores. Walk into any of these convenience stores or supermarkets and you will be sure to find the plastic play food set. One can observe on any given day a little girl completely fascinated with the food set, her mind and imagination already hard at work about the tea party she will have at home. The price can also win over parents; they are usually priced at or under $10.00
However, the plastic used in the molding of the various fruits and vegetables can soon wear out quite rapidly. Adding to the mass production of these plastic sets, combined with it being made of low quality, parents find themselves buying many of these in over a year's time.Finally with most parents nowadays being very environment conscious and more children getting involved with recycling, switching to products like wooden play food sets are a great idea.
That's why wooden play food sets are a great choice for young children! Sturdier and made to last, especially with how rough and tumble children can be during play. The wooden play food set will definitely handle being flung from the toybox, rolled around the backyard on the ground or banged up against the wall or the table.
The most important thing to you as the consumer is, what will work for your children. Ask yourself questions the next time you are in the toy store or searching sites online such as http://www.funsets.com for wooden play food sets, before buying: will my child enjoy this product? How will it fit in with his or her mode of play? Is this from a reputable company that I would not hesitate telling other parents or family members about?
Happy Shopping!
