Developmental Benefits

Toot-Toot Drivers Deluxe Track Set

Imaginative Play
  • Imagination and exploration through interaction with characters.
  • Children’s imagination is active from an early age. Imaginative play has links to what psychologists call ‘social pretend play’. Young children pretend or imagine that, for instance a wooden block is a cake and they carefully ‘cut’ it. A large proportion of pretend play tends to be social. Imaginative play begins when infants play and pretend with adults. As young children develop they begin to try to engage other children in social pretend play. Young children in nursery benefit from engaging in imaginative play. It helps them to begin to understand that other children think differently to them and have different ideas.
    Children can engage in imaginative play with other children where they have agreed on a story or scenario that they want to act out. Young children playing with toys use their imagination to invent scenarios and play out the consequences. They can use characters to explore scenarios and act out scripts such as going shopping or bedtime. Imaginative and social pretend play is beneficial for children as it allows them to explore different ways of viewing the world. Children who use their imagination when playing with other children are increasing their social competence and their understanding of other people. In a study where we observed children playing in a nursery we found that young children engaged in imaginative play, often using the toys in unexpected ways. Children’s imagination benefits from the opportunity to play with all types of toys.
Motor Skills
  • Encourages fine motor skill development.
  • An infant’s growth and development in the first year of life is rapid. Many movements that young babies make are in preparation for the next stage of their development. When young babies watch a mobile they are constantly moving their head, arms, legs and even their mouths in response to the movement of the toy. Sound and movement attract a baby’s attention; if a toy is placed almost within reach of babies their movements become more animated. Bath toys provide opportunities to develop and use motor skills to great effect. For example, a young baby has greater control over their leg movements than their arms. You will often see young babies in a bath reaching with their legs towards a floating toy and kicking. All these movements strengthen muscles in readiness for the next stage - walking.<br /> As babies develop they become more adept at grasping objects. Young infants learn to grasp an object, for instance a cube. The grasping, at first, is quite clumsy but through repetition, and across time, infants become adept at grasping and develop fine motor skills. Infants first use the ulnar grasp where their fingers close against the palm when trying to hold an object. Within another month they are able to move the object from hand to hand. After the first year, infants adopt the ‘pincer grasp’ where they use their thumb and index finger to grasp even very tiny objects. Shape sorters help infants to fine tune their visual perception and hand coordination. Soon infants are building towers with two cubes; this also requires fine coordination skills. As the child grows computer games have been shown to help with hand and eye coordination. Spatial skills can also be enhanced when playing games that require concentration, quick responses and finely tuned motor skills.

Having become addicted to vtech toot toot since Christmas I had to get some more pieces for the children. Yes; for the children... This pack gives you more corners and square connectors; really good. Only downside are the half-corner pieces which don&#039;t add up to full corners. A bit head-wrecking for a 2 year old... or for me.

Easy to click together - even for my 22-month-old - and sturdy. Just could do with two sets really!

We love the deluxe set for joining the garage to the fire station. Takes a little time and imagination getting it to fit. Hopefully my little boy will get another set for birthday or Christmas making it easier for him as he gets older.

Great track to make a wide range of different shapes. We love the &#039;special bumps&#039; which make the vehicles say/sing new things.

Great toy. The biggest problem is that the sets don&#039;t link together. This leaves my children very frustrated. A simple connection would be fantastic.

This is great but as my son has a lot of the sets one box is no where near enough track to join them up so the track set could do with being bigger.

ok item; easy to put together but I am disappointed that the toot toot range has not been designed to be fitted together with the track. We have the garage; fire station and traffic lights; 2 lots of extra track and we still can&#039;t get all to link together. Also the pieces come without any of the stickers attached and I don&#039;t think the pieces fit together as well as the previous track we bought. My 2.5yr old is happy though and that&#039;s more important!
