Playing with Puppy – Fisher Price Puppy Play House Review and Give-Away

Noah playing with puppy

Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.
-Kay Redfield Jamison

I am a firm believer in the importance of play.

Play is how children learn, it’s how they learn everything.

Right now Noey is learning so fast I can barely keep up with him. Watching him play is like watching his brain grow right before my eyes.

His vocabulary is increasing at a rate of knots. He will have a go at repeating just about anything he hears, he uses new words all the time, and some of them are even understandable.

Animal sounds are a new found skill. Did you know that a dog sounds much like a steam train in our house? “Wooo-woooooooooooooooo!”

He is also very interested in cause and effect…. “If I do this… what will happen?”

“If I press this button will something happen?”

“If I shove this car, how far will it go?”

“If I throw this block at my brother will he yell at me?”

His imagination is developing more and more and pretend play is becoming much more important in his play.

He wants to play at cooking, at putting the puppy to bed, at feeding the puppy… Often all the things that we still help him do, he wants to help his toys do.

He is learning about himself and interacting with others.

He has learned the power of the word “Mine” and uses it often!

When you are almost two, playing is not just important… it’s essential.

When we got the Fisher Price Puppy Learning Car and Puppy Play House the first thing Noah said was “Mine!”, closely followed by lots of “wooo-woooooooo!”

The big kids were quite taken by the toys too and wanted to find out what every button and flap did, but Noey was quite clear it was his and he would show them how to play with it… and so he did.

These toys ticks all the boxes for Noah – lots of words he can repeat, lots of buttons to push, and a doggy to feed, and wrap up and put safely back in his house.

    Oooh we’ve got so many cute and interesting little terms in our house with two under three!
    ‘Fire Truck’ comes out sounding very interesting…
    Last week my almost 3yo came out with (to his little sister):
    “Be quiet Bella, I cant even hear myself playing!”
    Classic.
    Bless them!

  2. Maria says

    My two year old niece tells anyone who will listen that she “fluffs quietly” not like her daddy, who fluffs very loudly.

  3. Rebecca Senyard says

    My toddler ALWAYS says “FLYBUYS” when the Coles advertisement comes on TV. I don’t even shop at Coles but my mum (my daughter’s Grandma) does. My daughter also says it in Target and when we walk past Coles and Kmart! At 22 months, it’s amazing (and scary)how advertising can really speak to kids!

  4. Renee says

    My toddler just says jibber jabber at the moment. He has discovered clapping though, so he claps after anything I say. Round of applause everyone!

  5. Jane says

    Besides repeating the last word of everything we say, “bic, bic, bic means I want music for my 22 month old!

  6. Monica says

    Just spent a magical week with my 17mth granddaughter..she lives in adifferent state..she was calling me Momo…instead of oma..luv it!

  7. lara morello says

    It’s not what he says in the day but it’s what he says in the middle of the night whilst he’s asleep that’s funny…….
    “No,…..I do it,…….. I need to to do it by myself!”
    he’s certainly reliving his toddler day!
