Buckle Toys - Buddy Activity Backpack - Educational Learning Toy with Zippered Pouch for Storage - Great Gift for Toddlers and Kids, Green - 11 x 8 inches

Wow , I bought this and filled it with some travel toys and not a peep from my 2 year old for the whole 4 hour journey. I love it, lots of things on the bag to entertain. Very well thought out and great value thanks very much.

I bought this for my daughter and she absolutely loves it! The backpack is lovely,light, soft and has lots of colourful clips (different styles)and velcro to keep your little one amused for hours. My daughter has autism, development delay and is non verbal and this has been amazing for her. She loves to play with the clips and pockets and will grab our hands and place on clip to tell us she needs help etc. We like to play sensory games out and about using the backpack feature or let her find textured pairs in it. It can also be great for using as Dora roleplay for your toddler exploring. The activities and ideas are endless. I have found there aren't many toys on the market which provide this sensory stimulation or satisfaction this little backpack does. The colours are lovely and bright and the friendly face seems to be a hit too. I would recommend for any child developing their fine motor skills and problem solving. I would also highly recommend this to parents and carers of children with additional needs as focusing on the clips seems to be calming for our little one and has prevented many a meltdown :)

I got this for my daughter that has autism and loves doing buckles. She found them VERY appealing and enjoys playing with it. The buckles are easy for her to do up and she hasn't caught her fingers. I have to help undo after she's done them all. The inside is quite roomy and can fit in a few toys or snacks. She's happy so I'm happy. A very very well made item which should last a while

Bought this for my 2 year old who is obsessed with doing buckles. He can't undo them himself so I thought having 10 buckles to do before he brings it to me to undo sounded like a good plan. He loves it! The straps on each buckle are a little shorter than I expected, hence 4 stars instead of 5, so he can sometimes struggle with them not being long enough, but overall it does keep him busy for a bit and happy. The added bonus of a backpack means we can take it out with us and store a couple of things inside like snacks, small toys etc. There's also a couple other figdet things like a popper, a velcro flap and zipped compartment.

My buckle obsessed son (15 months old) adores this and will happily play with it for ages. He doesn't know how to undo the various buckles yet so will bring it to me to undo and then carry on again (and repeat) - I get bored with it before he does! His sister (nearly 3) also enjoys playing with this although she is not as interested in it than he is.The bag is large enough to store a few toys or books, even a couple of nappies and baby wipes although not quite big enough to use as a bag for nursery - it's just the right size for my son to wear though as any bigger and I'd end up carrying it anyway.Overall a great buy which I would (and have!) recommend to other parents or anyone looking to get a stimulating toy for a child. We also have the Buckle Toys turtle and this is just as popular with both kids.

As well as the butterfly one, I bought this for my nephew as a gift. Excellent quality, looks just like in the picture (bright colours, etc.). Arrived on time. Very happy with my purchase, excellent price for what it is. I can't wait to give it to my nephew!

Bought for my almost 2 year old who is obsessed with clipping buckles. It’s a well made item, and there’s just so many buckles!! He’s in heaven. He can clip them straight or cross them over and mix and match. There’s 3 different types of clip and one takes a bit more work for him than the others but he likes the challenge.I didn’t realise anything like this even existed and now will be purchasing more items from the same company for his birthday and Christmas.

I'm a childminder and a number of my 18-24 month olds mindees (and my daughter, 20 months) absolutely love this bag. Doing up all the buckles keeps them occupied for up to 45 minutes and they are learning so much and developing heir fine motor skills and finger muscles which is wonderful. They haven't yet learned to undo them which means I do a lot of unbuckling but it's lovely to see them so engaged! What's brilliant is that there are two easier ones on the back (the straps) - the belts are longer so they're easier to manoeuvre. The ones on the sides are harder which means they can move onto those when they've got the hang of the easier ones. Also a great option if you have more than one child - because there are buckles on both sides and the back, we could have up to three toddlers playing with this at the same time - good for teaching sharing!
