I set up the Sports Zone first thing in the morning and left it sat unassumingly in front of the radiator to see if Eric would notice it. Item number VDSMW Your little one can enjoy triple the fun with this Little Tikes 3-in-1 Sports Zone Playset! I asked them to check the toy and they found it was full of sand, and one of the balls was not bagged and looked scraped and used.

My only critique would be about the soccer net, it is easily detachable, while this is nice for storage, it can fall off if you score an aggressive goal.The goal he didn't quite get the hang of, but you do have to hit the ball against it at reasonable force for it to register a goal. The interactive features also mean that as Eric's understanding grows, so will what he gets out of playing with the toy. The bowling pins are also not free standing but are part of the toy which makes resetting the game super easy and avoids lost pins.

This set has brought us hours of fun and is different than traditional building blocks because they are all shapes and sizes that fit together by magnets. It features 3 modes - Learn (numbers, colours and shapes), Move (lights and sounds) and Games (with directions to follow)! The bowling pins are all reset by pushing large buttons on top of the frame which are easy for little hands to do, and the frame itself folds up and is extended with ease meaning if it was to shift slightly, Eric could manipulate it himself. Perfect toy because it folds compactly and sits hidden behind our living room chair until ready to use!The squeals of delight and the smiles were endless and he got so excited when the scoreboard lit up and talked to him. It features three modes – Learn (numbers, colours and shapes), Move (lights and sounds) and Games (with directions to follow).

She wasn't quite walking at that point, so the toy itself offered her some stability in a standing position (with supervision, of course). One thing I wanted to mention that I think parents will rejoice upon hearing is that there seems to be a sleep function that kicks in if your child has not interacted with the Sports Zone in a couple of minutes meaning that you are not in danger of music, voices or theme tunes being stuck in your head for hours on end. Even then he wouldn't let that stop him but we just needed a more full sized version of the activities here.There are three different modes for play, which are great for children of a slightly older age who understand words and sentences a lot more or who can be helped by a grown up. They can slam dunk while developing their co-ordination and confidence, score a goal while building motor skills and bowl while learning about shapes. The bowling pins are a little wonky, sometimes they all go sometimes none of them go sometimes they split, sometimes they are not lined up right.
