MY THOUGHTS
Every morning while we’re waiting for the school bus we watch the Octonauts. I like that the show is structured to be educational while also being fun. My son seems to like the characters. He also seems to get a big kick out of when I march around the living room to the Creature Report.

The Octopod is where most of the action takes place. It comes in three pieces, and all you have to do to put it together is snap the arms into their sockets. It’s then ready for play. It’s like a moving home base. The Octonauts live there, and it travels when they go from place to place on their missions. The Gup C and D are water vehicles that the Octonauts use once they get to the site of their mission. They then move around the area around the Octopod in a Gup. these Gups can hold a character. They can be used in or out of the water, we haven’t tried it in the water yet.

My son has been having a blast playing with these toys. I have had a blast watching him. The Octonauts toys are perfect for all Octonauts fans. They encourage use of the imagination and allow pretend play reinforcing the lessons of the show. Or just whatever stories your child imagines up.
