Frequently asked questions
So, what exactly are Kids Globe Farming Toys?
Imagine a whole farm, shrunken down just for kids! Kids Globe makes a wonderful range of realistic, scaled-down models of everything you’d find on a farm: barns, animal shelters, tractors, trailers, farming tools, and a huge variety of farm animals like cows, pigs, sheep, and horses. They’re designed to inspire imaginative play and give children a detailed look into farm life.
What age group are Kids Globe toys best for?
Most Kids Globe toys are recommended for children aged 3 years and up. The larger pieces and animal figures are great for developing fine motor skills and imaginative play in preschoolers, while the more detailed vehicles and buildings can hold the interest of older children (up to 8-10 years) who enjoy creating intricate farm scenarios.
What kind of farming fun can we expect to find?
- Barns & Sheds: Realistic wooden or plastic barns with opening doors, milking parlors, and stalls for animals.
- Vehicles & Machinery: Tractors, trailers, harvesters, diggers, and other farm vehicles, often with moving parts.
- Animal Figures: Individual or sets of cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, and even dogs, bringing the farm to life.
- Accessories: Fencing, hay bales, feed troughs, farmers, and other small details to complete the scene. It’s all about building your very own miniature farm world!
Do these toys actually teach kids anything?
Absolutely! Kids Globe toys are fantastic for educational play. They help children:
- Learn about farm life: Understanding where food comes from, what different farm animals are called, and the tools farmers use.
- Develop imaginative play: Creating stories, roles, and scenarios.
- Enhance fine motor skills: Manipulating the smaller pieces, opening doors, and attaching trailers.
- Problem-solving: Figuring out how to arrange the farm, or what “jobs” need doing.
- Expand vocabulary: Learning names for animals, machinery, and farm activities.
Are these toys built to last, or will they break easily?
Kids Globe toys are generally known for their good quality and durability. Many of their vehicles are made from tough plastic and some have die-cast metal components, whilst their barns are often sturdy wood or robust plastic. They’re designed to withstand the rigors of active play, though of course, extreme rough handling can damage any toy.
Can Kids Globe toys play nice with other toy brands?
Yes, often they can! Many Kids Globe vehicles and accessories are designed to a 1:32 scale, which means they’re compatible with other popular farming toy brands like Siku, Britains, and Bruder (though Bruder is often 1:16 scale, so check specific items). This makes them great for expanding an existing farm collection or mixing and matching different sets for endless play possibilities.
