My Garden Grower
- How Children Interact with Toys:
- Children will plug the miniature flower pots, trees, benches, etc into the whole of the base and make their own miniature garden.
- Physical Principle Children will Learn:
- By putting the flowers, trees, and other gardn items into the hole, they will learn how convex and concave surfaces can join together.
- They will also learn about configurations as depending on what garden items and how they arrange them, they could create different gardens.
- Construction cost, durability and safety:
- Construction cost: Roughly $20~30.
- Durability: The pieces and the base are made by plastic, so as long as the children don't break them, they should last for a long time.
- Safety: Young children may throw the pieces, so the age range should be 4~5 years old and up. As long as they don't throw the pieces at someone else, it should be pretty safe to play.
