Mr Potato Head

Mr Potato Head (pictured) is a classic children’s toy that never dates and is as popular today as he’s always been. In case you’re not familiar with him he’s a collection of changeable plastic pieces that are pushed together to make a funny Mr Potato Head.

You get the potato body and simply push the body parts on to make him. You get a selection of faces, hats, arms, feet, etc and your child makes their funny looking man. Along with being fun to make and play games with. the toy aids development of recognition and dexterity skills.

Our little chap came as part of a farm set that also contained his wife and some farm animals. I’m not sure if this set is still available but I’d recommend buying one that comes in some sort of case - just so you can keep all the bits together. The Silly Suitcase is a good example and it’s also worth visting amazon, Hawkin or ebay.
