Tested by Daisychain Nursery, Kirkcaldy, Fife

This toy has a space at the back for storing Peek-A-Blocks, each of which features something to discover, from objects and animals to sounds and textures. The four blocks supplied can also be inserted into the croc's mouth. Recommended for children from 12 months.

Tester's report

The children especially loved the blocks which have wobbly bits inside and they spent lots of time hiding them inside other large toys. The babies enjoyed the music and sounds the blocks emitted when used for building. I was pleased to know that further sets of Peek-A-Blocks can be bought separately.
