The Play Village Deluxe is a pleasingly designed dramatic play facade consisting of several different storefronts combined into one impressive length. A retail spot connects to a gas station that features realistic looking pumps with fuel nozzles connected to hoses. The handles let kids take the pump out of a notch on the side of the tank and return it to its hanging position after they pretend to fill up a friend’s bicycle or tricycle. Nearby is a café stand where kiddos get to act like they’re cooks in their own kitchen. Adjacent to that dining spot is a telephone stand that, like the gas pump, also features detachable receivers that can be returned to their cradle. And rounding things out is a colorfully illustrated farmer’s market produce stand where little customers can swing by to grab some fresh fruit and vegetables before heading home. Pretending is great mental stimulation and the Play Village Deluxe helps children create amazing scenarios day in and out.
