Vtech Toot-toot Animals & GIVEAWAY

It started with one wee police car at the boys Granny's house that had come in a bag of toys from a kind relative. That little Toot-toot Police Car started an obsession in John. Every time he saw any Toot-toot vehicles, either at friends or families or on TV & catalogues, he went nuts. We never actually bought him any as by the time any birthday or Christmas or Birthdays came around, we figured he'd perhaps be a bit old now, opting for the die-cast variety of cars instead.

Then along came David, who was never allowed a shot of John's cars, so a collection of baby friendly cars seemed ideal. His 1st Birthday came and as did a small collection of Toot-toot vehicles. Amongst them, one of the boys Aunties had gotten David a set of 3 Toot-toot Animals. Knowing how John already was with cars I expected David to follow suit and favour his new vehicles over the animals but boy was I wrong!

At only 1 year old I never expected David to show any huge preference in toys but ever since he received his little Hippo, Tiger & Monkey, they've been played with every single day and are now the go-to toy for calming down a grumpy baby. Each animal comes with a light up button on it's head, which when pressed talks (both English & each animals own mammal-language) and sings annoyingly catchy songs.

Given his love for this three little animals we then decided to ask Santa for the Toot-toot Animal Tree House, complete with a Toot-toot Panda; very apt for life in Edinburgh! The great thing about the Tree House and other items from the Toot-toot range is that the animals & vehicles come with Smart Point Locations, meaning that when you put one in the swing or at the top of the slide, they response accordingly with a, "wee, this is fun," or, "the view from here is beautiful!". Alongside the Tree House, with it's slide, swing, lookout & shape sorter (a real winner as far as David's concerned!), we also received some more animals from the boys other Aunty, including the Toot-toot Lion and Toot-toot Elephant.

We're overall very impressed with the Toot-toot Animal Tree House and love the variety of activities it has to offer. The only gripe I have with it is how easy it I to take apart. It's a real catch 22, as John loves to pull it apart and join it with the pieces of the Toot-toot Garage that David also kindly received from the boys Granny & Papa (every panda needs to see a mechanic from time to time after all!). But it also means David will pull it apart then be upset that his hippo has crashed into a pile at the bottom as opposed to whizzing right around under the swing. Thankfully, it's easy peasy to put together so John can do it for the millionth time when I've had enough of trying to explain to a 1 year old that it won't work if he pulls the thing apart!

We love the Toot-toot Animals so much that we've decided to give one way to a lucky wee one. If you fancy trying out the Toot-toot Animals for yourself, then simply enter the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win a Toot-toot Lion.

Disclaimer: We weren't compensated for this review, we just really love the Toot-toot Animal range. The prize is a duplicate gift I'd bought for David without knowing that their Aunty had already gotten him one.
