My daugther's favorite - Ma-ma-sak (2)

It's not anyone's birth day, but my daughter is celebrating birthday for us quite frequently.

Look at my daughter's face with her favorite birthday cake!


The cake comes with 3-4 candles, plus a lot of toppings. Such as cherry, chocolate, nuts etc. It can be sliced into 8 pieces. I saw a wooden version when I brought my rich friend from Japan to a toy shop. The shop lady showed us a wooden cake, with similar concept. It was SGD25. Wow, too expensive.

I came across this 3-4 weeks later, it was selling at SGD14.90, if I remember correctly. I like this one because it comes with "candles" while the wooden one does not. On top of that, it's cheaper.

How does the candle work?

Decorate the cake and "pull out" the "light".. The "light" is a small piece of plastic which can rest on one side.


Then blow it so that the "light" will disappear...


Then serve the cake! "Ahmm... Happy birthday"...

The toy is pretty simple, right? But from my observation, I think this toy teaches a lot of values. The cake can be sliced into 8 pieces. The act of slicing the cake and decorating the cake is a good practice of motor skills for young children. Also, later, I can teach her about "fraction" using the cake.


Above all reasons, my daughter loves this toys. She shared with a friend visiting us. Her friend loved this so much too and it's enjoyable seeing them play together.
