As a Play IQ Mum, I’m honoured to be the first parents in Singapore to receive Fisher-Price Play IQ Box.
It arrived at my doorstep recently and Lauren became the happiest person in the room. Box to open! Sticky tape to tear! Oh wait, the content looks colourful. Oh my gard, am I dreaming? TOYS!!!!! Oh yes, my girl has somehow developed an American accent too.
We received a Stack & Roll Cups, a Laugh and Learn Storybook Rhymes and a Friendly Flip Phone – all of which Lauren immediately appropriated.
As for me, I’m probably happiest to receive this Stack & Roll Cup. I read long time ago, when I had no idea what to do with Lauren, stacking and sorting out sizes helps children to work with their hands and fingers while developing their thinking skills.
I used to make do with plastic takeaway containers, and while that worked for a while, it didn’t hold Lauren’s attention for very long. It also completely back fired on me because since then, she thought everything from the kitchen are toys.
Lauren is totally cheating here by stacking them up according to numbers. Oh well, early number and order recognition for the 2 years old, I guess.
It has 6 pages of catchy music and rhymes. So catchy that it is still playing in my head now.. the ants go marching one by one, hoorah, hoorah…
The kids already have an actual iPhone (pointing over to their dad) and like a million other toy phones, so they aren’t really into the Friendly Flip Phone. Of course, Georgia tries to eat this one too.
Otherwise, it is quite a good toy for a young child to practise sensory and fine motor skills. You know, by pressing buttons and flipping it open and shut. Oh don’t worry, Georgia couldn’t actually fit any part of the phone into her mouth, so she is safe.

If you’d like to know more about Play IQ box and how you can get one delivered to your doorstep, here are the Frequently Asked Questions:
Play IQ Box is a box containing recommended tools of development and entertainment from Fisher-Price – all tailored to your child’s age. It comes with 2 options:
– A one-time subscription where you’ll receive a box with suitable toys for your baby’s age. I think this makes a great gift for friend’s kids too; or
– A full subscription, in which you’ll receive a box every 3 months till the end of your subscription term.
Each box contains a combination of 1 – 3 Play IQ toys and/or products. Each box is thoughtfully crafted according to your child’s age and development. Each item is unique from anything Fisher-Price will send in the subsequent boxes. Every item is something that your child will need to develop his / her Physical, Cognitive and Social & Emotional skills.
Hope this has been helpful. I think the Play IQ Box is a perfect gift idea when you have no idea what to get for a child, yours and others.
