Mr Potato Head - Classic Christmas Toys
From Hasbro
Customer Reviews
Lots of fun and indestructable too!
I originally bought my Mr Potato Head when Toy Story was first released 13 years ago, and its sat on my desk ever since (the peices get rearranged by just about everyone who sees it - including, I suspect, the cleaners!)
Now, I've taken it home so that my two year old can enjoy it - hows that for recycling?!
Its not very often that you find a toy that is educational, cheap and well made, but Mr Potato Head ticks all the boxes.
What did I used to do with it?
I am another person who remembered having lots of fun with this as a kid.
Bought one for my 4 year old who had a great time moving the pieces, putting arms for noses etc for about 3 days. Since then he has hardly touched it and I can't remember why I have such fond memories either.
Maybe, compared with current toys, its scope is a bit limited. I understand there are add-ons which would increase the permutations but, still, it seems a bit repetitive.
It's a classic, must-have!
Very robust, lots of chunky, sturdy colourful pieces, good for younger children to learn which bit goes where eg puting ears in the right holes on side of head! My 3 yr old enjoys it a lot and views it as a puzzle and carries on till every piece is inserted. Good classic first-buy potato and then you can buy the other kits later on to ring the changes on the accessories.
