Fisher Price Has Smart Stages Technology – Great Value for Years of Use! #vocalpoint #rsvpplaydate

When my oldest daughter was a baby, play dates were and still are very frequent for her and her friends. My younger daughter goes along with whatever we do, but a few months ago I realized all our playdates were never centered around her. She needed to socialize and make friends her own age too. After that I made it a point to host frequent play dates for her with kids around her age while big sister was in school. I saw things in her that were very different than how I had perceived them. For example- she doesn’t share with her sister and is often very physical- she hits, bites, and gets frustrated when her older sister is playing with toys she wants. I feared this behavior for play dates, but she was the opposite. She willingly gave up her toys, coddled the other kids with hugs, and never hit or showed any signs of frustration.

When we were sent a boxful of fun from Fisher Price to host a toddler playdate, my first fear was that the bad behavior would come out once she saw new toys and deemed them hers, but quite the opposite happened. As she sat on the fisher price laugh and learn smart stages chair, she counted to 10 and offered a turn to someone else. A tactic I use often in sharing and turn taking with her sister. Each child had a turn sitting in the chair, pressing buttons, listening to the sounds and songs, and watching bright lights flash. The kids age ranges were 14 months to 3 years and they each enjoyed the chair. My oldest daughter, who is 5, also plays with the chair often, even though it’s not in her age range. fisher price has set the age range for this toy from 12-36 months, which means you get years of play from one toy- making it a great value! Just look for the “Smart Stages” logo on their toys.

When the children took interest in the learning train, this is where things got a little sticky! The smaller toy meant it was easier for someone to take apart and walk away with, frustrating the other children. The fun, vibrant characters would find their way into someone’s hand, when another child would want to play. Yes, chaos is inevitable with little ones, but the idea behind the toy is great. The learning train features some fun characters that are present in the Fisher Price family. They can hop on the train (with help from little hands, of course) and take a ride through town (or your living room.. Whichever is most convenient .)

Ironically, from both toys featured during the play date, each child had most fun with the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn remote. Thankfully I had one for each child, which they took home with them in the goody bags which also included a Fisher Price spill proof snack cup and sippy cup.

My daughter is 13months old and she is not very nice when it comes to sharing,I’ve tryed everything,but what I have noticed is that she has no children to play with that are her age.So maybe if I set up a play date with little ones her age she could learn to share better,I hope it will work before her baby brother comes in January though.
