{"product_id":"goula-wooden-activity-table-donkey","title":"Goula Wooden Activity Table for Toddlers – Donkey Busy Board","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis wooden activity table is built around a friendly donkey and gives toddlers nine separate things to do with their hands. Every task on it — laces to thread, a buckle to fasten, gears to turn — is a fine motor skill in disguise. A moulded handle on top means the whole thing travels to the kitchen table, the car, or a grandparent's house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNine activities on one board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoelace to thread and tie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelt with a working buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelcro fastener button to press and pull apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo spinning gears that turn together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlinking eye that rotates open and shut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabyrinth maze to trace with a fingertip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlap that opens to reveal a hidden picture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft fabric ears with a different texture to the wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarry handle sized for a toddler's grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cause and effect matters at this age\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween two and three, children are working out that their own actions produce reliable results. Turning one gear and watching the second turn with it is a small, repeatable experiment. That is the point of the spinning and rotating parts here — they respond the same way every time, which is exactly what builds a child's confidence to try again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting dressed, practised in advance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buckle, the laces and the fastener are the same three closures children meet on shoes, coats and bags. Practising them on a flat board at eye level is far easier than practising them on a moving foot. Most children need a great many repetitions before these become automatic, and a toy is a more patient teacher than a school-run morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Goula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years and over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 97% wood, with nylon, polypropylene and polyethylene fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Portable activity table with carry handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of activities:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e GO0489\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for children under 18 months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains a long cord.
