A must-have in every house, the Fisher-Price Little People® Animal Sounds Farm™ does not disappoint!
We started playing with this toy when my son could sit up and grab at the animals. At first we showed him where each of the animals go to make the appropriate sounds, but he soon took over! The animals are just the right size for little hands, and the toy itself is indestructible.
It is a great toy for multiples to share because there are many things to do on the farm. The set includes: Farmer Jed â„¢, a cow, a sheep, a horse, a pig, a chicken, a food cart, a rooster and connectable fence pieces. It does take 3 “AA” batteries, but if you’re like us, you’ve got a stockpile of that sort of thing.
The biggest problem my twin nieces had with this toy was that they loved to carry around the animals – so my sister stocked up on extras of the girls’ favorites that she found on E-Bay. You could probably also contact Fisher-Price and see if they sell replacements, I’ve had good luck doing that with some of their other products.
While we still love this toy, it doesn’t come out much now that our son is almost 4, but when other kids come over – it always gets some play.
Fisher-Price sells lots of great farm accessories to go with this set: the Animal Sounds Stable, Baby Farm Animals, Lil’ Farmers Market and the Animal Sounds Tractor. If you like the farm, Fisher-Price also sells a ton of other Little People play things (like a house, garage, amusement park, ark, castle and zoo).
