Ava is inquisitive and intelligent, with a preference for books over toys, or toys which require a little dexterity. I often find her creating her own games or playing with Noah's toys because bog standard baby toys no longer cut it for her. With this in mind, I was really excited when I was asked to review the Hape Discovery Box as I thought it looked perfect for Ava.
The Discovery Box is a five sided solid wood box with a different activity on each side. There's a wire bead maze, large mirror, colour wheel, a spinning fish and a classic abacus. It's designed to help build fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while helping develop counting skills, colour and shape recognition too. I was so impressed when it arrived and I couldn't wait to see what Ava would make of it.
As you can see the Discovery Box has been a huge hit with Ava, she beams from ear to eat when she is playing with it! She spends a lot of time sitting beside it, to explore all the different sides and has a favourite side already, the wire bead maze! It didn't take her long to figure out each side and you can see the sense of accomplishment in her face when she's completed an activity, it's so very sweet!
I'm looking forward to using the Discovery Box over the next couple of years because I know it's a toy that will grow with Ava. It will be an invaluable learning aid when it comes to teaching her to count and when it comes to learning shapes and colours. Once she's finished with it I'll donate it to their nursery so all the children there can enjoy it too.
