Description
This magnetic vet play scene set packs a busy animal surgery into a sturdy card box, with 75 pieces to arrange and rearrange. Open the lid and it stands upright to show a bright consulting room, with a vet in navy scrubs at the examination table, a sink, a computer, a red trolley and a basket on the floor. The base of the box holds a second scene, a waiting area with a reception desk and a sign reading "welcome to Happy Pets". The pieces come on card sheets ready to press out: dogs from a pug to a dalmatian, cats, a tortoise, a guinea pig, a parrot, a goldfish in its bowl, owners waiting with their pets, plus treat jars, a vet's bag and an X-ray.
It is a toy made for imaginative play, and the story is up to whoever is playing: a check-up for the spotty dog, a cat settling into its basket, a queue of patients in the waiting room. Because the pieces are magnetic, they hold in place on the scenes and can be moved again and again, so one game can follow another without starting over. The box is a tidy size for a playroom shelf or a bedroom cupboard, and it opens out on any table for a quiet hour of storytelling. Every visit to the surgery can turn out differently.
The play set is made from card and paper with magnets, and the box measures 26.8cm long, 19.8cm wide and 4cm deep, weighing just over 0.8KG. As it is card and paper, keep it dry and away from spills, and wipe the box with a soft dry cloth. When play is over, the pieces lie flat inside the base and the lid closes over them, so the whole surgery packs away neatly. We think it makes a thoughtful present, with the bright box doing much of the work.
