apple tree toy  

Learning new things is the most fundamental thing about being young. Having fun is essential. This toy incorporates both of these two elements. While learning about the cyclical aspect of nature by role playing with the seasonal change of an apple tree. The child is also developing her motor skills. As the seasons change the child dresses the tree with the apropriate leaves or blossoms. There are pictograms on the sides of the pot in which the tree stands which help. Water cress can be planted at the roots of the tree providing a real life example of a seed growing into a mature plant. The cress also looks like grass.

Every component of the toy packs neatly into the base in which the apple tree sits.This is shaped like a flower pot.
