Role Playing Toys

Trying on adult roles - doctor, mailman, teacher - isn't mere imitation:  it stimulates your child's intellectual development, improves social skills, boosts creativity and helps him/her explore his/her identity.

The My Little Mailbox is a role playing toy from the Parents Collection made by Manhattan Toy.  It is a fabulous fabric mailbox for you child to play "Mail Call".  It has 3 postcards (two with windows to hold family photos), Velcro-like stamps and a rotating red flag.  There is a carrying handle on top that can also be used to hang the mailbox on your child's door!  How fun for kids to open up their mailbox and find special little notes from Mom and Dad.

When your child says "This won't hurt," as he/she gives a shot, he/she is learning empathy for the feelings of others.   Pretend play also nurtures this sense of identity, spurs his/her imagination and helps him/her master his/her own emotions.

The Little MD is a role play toy by Manhattan Toy from the Parents Collection.  This realistic medical bag is full with everything your little doctor needs to make a house call. The medical bag has mesh netting pockets for the spring function syringe,blood pressure cuff, sick & well thermometer and otoscope with kaleidoscope eye. 

A toddler is a devoted mimic, giving wings to his imagination as he learns by doing.  With child-size versions of objects Mom & Dad use, your child can explore and make sense of their world.

The Little Fix It is a role play toy from the Parents Collection by Manhattan Toy.  It is a sturdy nylon tool kit that opens to reveal the tools of the construction trade.  Your little carpenter will have a saw, a hammer, a level and a soft ruler to build whatever they can imagine.  A limitless creative play toy.  The wooden toys are colorful and store neatly in the pockets.
