eeBoo Back to School Magnetic Playboard
(eeBoo $15.00)
A new version of the 'make me a story' collection that may be very helpful for kids with back to school jitters. It's a metal playboard with a school setting provides the background for a classroom full of playful creatures and their wise old owl teacher. The magnetic backing on the playing pieces can be moved about as kids make up their own stories using the characters created by illustrator, Kevin Hawkes. A good prop for dramatic play or talking through typical angst over the opening of school and new situations. Also a good choice for travel. This is not for kids who still mouth their toys. The playing pieces are large and reasonably easy to move about. Good for story telling, listening, and pretend play.
Ages: Preschoolers, Early School
