A blast from the past for us at Moonbase, the Fisher Price Activity Centre!
Our daughter had one of these fun labs in her cot as a nipper. A stroke of genius, FP were ahead of the curve in the 70's in many ways and this nursery figi-cube foretold of more modern distractions like the laptop and the X-box!
It had everything a kid could want: balls, dials, bells, spinners and squeaks! Those boffins at FP even thought of a cot strut clamp that tightened to suit!
Did your kids have one of these?
Our version in the US back in the mid 80's was very similar. I can still remember the various sounds coming from our daughter's crib in the mornings when she woke up and played with it. Now seeing it again I'll have to search through boxes in the attic to see if we still have it!
ReplyDeleteIt is a thing of beauty Terran. A sound studio in a cot! ha ha
DeleteAh, the good old rotary dial! 20th century kids loved 'em, Woodsy :)
ReplyDeleteYep, dials were just ace Tone. A much more tactile way to phone up! It required patience for a start!
