PAGE 31-SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER-FRI., NOV. 23, 1973 Toy land Spotlights Enriched Play Opportunity ChoiceMakes Way for All Age Groups Enriched play opportuni­ ties take the spotlight in toy- land, 1971, with emphasis on fun combined with learning for every child from the crib occupant to teens. Most innovative for infants are Playtentials, the first pro­ gressive series of toys keyed to help babies from 3 weeks to 8 months develop the habit of being alert, confident and inquisitive through purpose­ ful, enjoyable play activities, accomodating precisely in­ fant vision, reach and head position at each age level. Playtentials were created and tested by Dr. Burton L. White, director of the Har­ vard Pre-School Project, for Kenner. Enrichment of toddler play is the purpose of Discovery Time toys, a new series by Rainbow. Three dimensional puzzles called Fun 'n Fit dou­ ble as imaginative push toys when completed. Contemporary Easy Bake Oven by Kenner, newest high styled model of this classic favorite, adds extra play value with a timing guide that indicates baking time for various delicacies when a dial is turned. More than 5 million units of this purposeful oven have introduced little girls joyfully to the baking arts. Operating on two 60-watt bulbs, the ovens are safety engineered every step of the way, so eager fingers won't touch the masterpieces till they are cool. m Newest thrill for junior drag racing enthusiasts is the SSP (Super Sonic Power) Time Trial Set by Kenner, with a highly realistic staging tower featuring sequential lights. The unique SSP drag racers zoom away without engine or track, using a gyro principle. Improved Bake Oven Puzzle-Ups enhance classic puzzle fun with three dimen­ sional pieces that have in­ triguing moving parts. Time 'n Chime gives toddlers the thrill of winding a clock and hearing the hour strike. New enrichment for home- making play is provided by the Contemporary Easy Bake Oven which adds a dial to indicate required baking time for a variety of delicacies. Five million units of this fa­ vorite classic have introduced little girls to the joys of bak­ ing just like mom. Contemporary Easy Bake Oven operates on two electric light bulbs and is safety en­ gineered every step of the way. Another new thrill for the junior cook is the Three Minute Cake Baker, a revo­ lutionary new way to bake delicious moist cakes. Complete Safety The cake bakes as heat from the completely enclosed stainless steel sides of the baking tray evaporate mois­ ture. When the cake is done, baking stops automatically. The baking chamber is com­ pletely enclosed and the ex­ terior does not get hot. For complete safety the heating action occurs only when the lid is closed and locked. Easy Care Manicure Set, another new thrill, also by Kenner, is motorized to give the junior beautician truly professional tools. This Yule the almost hu­ man doll has acquired fas­ cinating new talents. Most unusual is Crumpet, a charm­ ing hostess, who loves to give parties. She pours tea and serves cookies with just a gentle pull on her ring, and sets an admirable example of good manners to her guests. Another activist is Madcap Mollie who pushes her own supermarket shopping cart, skis and rides a motor scooter. She has eye-catching hats for each activity. Drag racing, a top favorite with boys, has intriguing new additions. Most realistic is the SSP (Super Sonic Power) Staging Tower Christmas Tree with sequential lights and an automatic timer. A bevy of way-out styled SSP drag racers zoom off without track or motor, using a gyro principle.
