CP Toys is a branch of US Toy Company that offers a line of great toys for kids that inspire creativity and promote educational fun. CP Toys is a family run business that has been offering fun toys since the 1950’s! When you’re looking for fun ways to get your child’s imagination flowing, check out
their great products!
I’d like to introduce you to the newest members of our house:
Charlie has, what I’ve been told is, an amazing imagination. He loves to make up stories about everything and anything. He will continue playing out his stories for sometimes an hour, which is like a lifetime in toddlerland.
In the mornings, Charlie gets as much playtime in with Daddy as possible before he has to leave for work. Lately, it’s been with our new puppet friends. The puppets also fit my husband’s hand, which was a pleasant surprise!
I love anything that gets the creative juices going for my munchkin. Charlie has had the Firefighter save people from trees, the policeman has chased “bad guys”, and the construction
Another awesome thing about these puppets is that not only are they multi-cultural, they’re very open about career options for boys and girls. I think if our kids are exposed to women in stereotypical male careers, it could become the norm for them. I love that the firefighter is a female! Charlie shouldn’t immediately think that a firefighter is a fireMAN.
These puppets have been played with over and over since we received them. I know they will continue to be played with over the next few years. That’s the great part about puppets- they’re open ended toys. There’s no magic age that kids will “outgrow” them. They can be used for lessons or just play.
I know the pictures are a bit blurry, but if you’ve ever met a toddler, you get it. These puppets are not just putting on shows, they run and jump and they do it all at toddler speed.
Something I know we look for in our house, as I’m sure many of you do, is durability. These are really nice quality puppets and I can vouch for the fact that their surface is washable. I had to clean a little dried jello off the Police Officer and I was so happy it came off with just a wet washcloth.
These are all of the Multi-Ethnic Career Puppets available.
You can purchase them as a set or individually:
Firefighter
Doctor
Chef
Police Officer
Construction Worker
Mail Carrier
We can’t wait for our next playdate to share our Multi-Ethnic Career Puppets!
You can visit CP Toys on Facebook, on Twitter, or at their website.
