Holiday gift idea- Coastguard Carl, Wow Toys, no batteries required

When my son and I saw all the fire trucks, helicopters, and rescue cars in front of Rockridge Bart station, he was fascinated.  Then, later that day he had earned points toward a toy, and he gravitated toward this toy.  It is a little young for him, but he is still really enjoying as he loves dramatic play!  For 3 plus years, it is fun for role play and exploration.  To be honest, I personally prefer wooden toys, but there are just some things you can't make out of wood and cloth!

Qualities of Coastguard Carl:

-A squeeze trigger to activate friction-powered rotors
-Flying doctor and patient figures
-Magic pick-up stretcher, then you can twist the searchlight to release
-No batteries
-1 and 1/2 years to 5 years (These age limits depend on your child and their interests, and the WOW figures are great for dramatic play!)
