What our experts think
Small-world play sets like the Oddbods playhouse allow children to develop their story telling and role-playing skills as they act out different scenes, which also helps them to make sense of the world around them. For children who are fans of the TV programme, it provides a familiar platform to get creative with their imaginative play.
The children enjoyed identifying the different colours and expressions of the Oddbods characters. As they describe the different emotions they can see they are developing emotional vocabulary and empathy which are key parts of emotional intelligence.
Although it was a bit fiddly at times, our testers liked the overall design of the play set – the back of the house flips down to make a garden and everything can be tidied away inside and carried with the handle on top.
