Pet Parade play garden with exclusive kitten.

My children love my blog. They particularly love my blog when big parcels containing toys arrive.

This particular parcel had a Pet parade play garden, including an exclusive kitten, and they didn’t know where to put themselves – the excitement was almost too much.

From the top – the box has carry handles, so that you can cart your new set around with you wherever you go. This is a good thing I’m told. However, the set has never made it back into the box here, as it’s definitely toy of the month, so that hasn’t been an option 😉

As well as handles, there’s a plastic window with hole so that you can try the toy before getting it out. Given how well it’s attached to the box (I *hate* packaging that requires screwdrivers, I think there ought to be regulations against it!) this was a good thing.

Once out, there’s minimal set up – mainly putting bits where they are supposed to be. It’s a good quality set, easy to set up and solid. The main point is the use of magnets (and this is also where it should be noted this is very definitely NOT for young children) that allow the kitten to play with various bits of the set, like the mouse that can be chased and the goldfish pond.

There’s even a lead that attaches to the harness so that you can take your kitten (excitingly named Kitty here 😉 ) for walks, or help it play with the ball of wool. Oh, and don’t forget Tweety pie in the cage.

All in all, this does have plenty of play value, and has been a big hit here, and that’s without them seeing the webisodes on youtube. (No, I’m not showing them the episodes on Youtube.)

This particular set (there are many) retails at around £24.99 as in here at Amazon Pet Parade Play Garden Playset for Kittens and can be bought from a number of retailers. All the animals fit in all the sets, and Argos currently has a deal on puppies, two for £15. (Hm, Easter, tempting…)
