Animo Tractor Play Set by Janod

The Multi Animo Tractor by Janod is a wooden play set.  It is a farm theme with a farmer to drive a tractor pulling a trailer to tend to his barnyard animals.  The set is 10.6" x 3.9" x 4.3" with 5 animals - 2 cows, a  pig, a sheep, and a donkey - as well as two bushes.  This learning toy is meant for toddlers ages 18 months and older.  

Toddlers will love to play farm with this set.  The tractor and trailer rolls along surface easily when pushed or there is a string attached to the front of the tractor if toddlers prefer to pull it along.  Push or pull - this wooden play set is lots of fun and will spark lots of creative play.  What is a day in a farmer's life like?  What chores do they have to do?  What animals do they raise? What would your farm look like?

As a child, my family would go visit my Grandparents on their farm in Iowa.  It was always such a treat to see another way of life.  From the huge dinner bell to the outhouse - it was so different than our house in the suburbs.  My memories include helping my Grandma bake biscuits and then eating them warm out of the oven with fresh butter and homemade strawberry jam.  Yum!  Feeding the baby lambs warm milk from green Mountain Dew bottles.  Going for rides in a cart pulled by goats.  Swinging on the tire swing.  And so much more!  It was always a great visit that my brothers and I looked forward to every summer.

If looking for a simple farm play set, this wooden set by Janod is a great starter set.  It has plenty of pieces to inspire lots of imaginative play, but you can always add other sets if you want to expand the barnyard.
