Vilac Van with Animal Sounds

We get a lot of children in the shop who head straight for this van and start loading animals in before they have even clocked that anything interesting is about to happen. And then the cow goes in, and the moo comes out, and the look on their face is completely worth it. Every time.

We love it because:

• Six farm animals, a pig, a horse, a rooster, a cow, a duck and a sheep, each with their own colour-coded spot inside the van. Put the right animal in the right place and it makes its sound. Simple, satisfying and genuinely exciting the first fifteen times.
• The colour matching gives children a real sense of achievement. They are not just posting pieces, they are solving something. And the sound tells them immediately when they have got it right.
• Ingela P. Arrhenius's flower van is beautiful. Bold retro colours, cheerful illustration, the kind of toy that looks lovely on a shelf and gets played with hard off it.
• It is brilliant for learning animal names and sounds, colour recognition, fine motor skills and early logical thinking, all delivered via a van full of farm animals going on an adventure, which is frankly a better curriculum than most.
• Chunky enough for younger children to handle with confidence. Easy to load, unload, reload and repeat approximately forty times in one sitting.
