The Fisher Price circus toy brand is one of the most cherished toys from the company who makes items such as the Fisher Price Pop Onz system, mainly because of the circus setting to which there appeals in young kids such wonder and amazement. The circus setting has always been a colorful and vibrant showcase of fun and performance by the unusual traveling performers and characters in the form of clowns, acrobats, trained animals and more stunt-related artists. Because of the natural entertaining temperament that is in a circus setting, Fisher-Price tapped into this concept to design and develop the Fisher Price Circus.
The Fisher Price circus comes from the Little People brand set, a specific toy brand developed by the company that produces different themes and settings of miniature toys for both kids and toddlers; and the circus is one of those. Essentially made to develop the pretend play aspect that is helpful in the toddler’s cognitive development, the circus is also highly entertaining for these kids. The game set comes with an easy to assemble circus train, a staging area with entrance curtains, a tightrope, and notable figures in the standard circus, namely, plastic animals like elephants, monkey, poodle, lion, as well as the clowns, magicians and the most prominent Ringmaster. The whole circus kit requires 3 AA batteries so that it will come to life with musical background and tunes that
would surely surprise and delight your little tot.
For enhanced game play, the characters and the toy materials are made to be sensitive to the touch, and the texture of each would definitely appeal uniquely to your toddler. Your kid can assume the role of the Ringmaster and orchestrate the whole circus performance on his own. He can parade the animals; guide them in a trapeze, and help them perform creative stunts. This circus game has a structured rule or plot already, to which little children can explore in the context of imaginary and pretend play. The advantage of this kind of activity merits your child’s cognitive enhancements in various arenas – visual, object, face and pattern recognitions. Concepts and reasoning are also explored: how animals behave, how the Ringmaster leads, how trains work – and this is fundamentally an integral part of childhood development.
The Fisher-Price company discontinued manufacturing this game set, but in the past the company has distributed the circus game worldwide. It is for this reason that you are likely to find a typical Fisher Price circus set expensive as it is considered to be a hot collector’s item or a vintage product. People who outgrew playing this game sometimes sell the parts on a fraction of the original price (and thus cheaper) online. A complete set of the Fisher Price circus train can be bought between $ 80 to $160 on eBay or Amazon. The game is recommended for the ages 1 to 6 years old.
