<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1478 alignleft" title="results" src="http://www.thenotsoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/results.jpg" alt="results" width="111" height="33" /> What makes a good toy? A toy called the Activity Bus from Plan Toys who makes safe  <a href="http://www.plantoys.com/">green toys</a> was sent to me from a toy website called ebeanstalk. Ebeanstalk has toy experts and moms that find the great <a href="http://www.ebeanstalk.com/">learning toys</a> and <a href="http://www.ebeanstalk.com/">baby toys</a> through a toy testing program. Both Lily and Aubrie were excited to test out the Activity Bus by Plan Toys sent to us by eBeanstalk.  I was thrilled for my girls to play with an &#8220;old-school&#8221; wooden toy that required only the use of their imaginations.  The Activity Bus opened to reveal a large cargo space which housed many wooden accessories such as desks, street signs, and people.  Lily, age 4, enjoyed setting up a little scene and playing with the dolls as student and teacher.  Aubrie, age 20 months, enjoyed stuffing items into the bus and removing them&#8230;over and over again.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thenotsoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/0012.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3719 aligncenter" title="001" src="http://www.thenotsoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/0012-225x300.jpg" alt="001" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I thought the bus was well made, but my oldest daughter lost interest after about 10 minutes.  Aubrie played with it for quite some time, but some of the pieces were too small for her.</p>

<p>The Activity Bus by Plan Toys provided by ebeanstalk, would make a great gift for a child who is really in to &#8220;city play.&#8221;  The accessories leave lots of room for pretend play and the cargo space in the bus easily lends itself to many activities.  In addition to the activity bus, ebeanstalk also sells many great toys for kids of all ages.  Lily would just LOVE this <a href="http://www.ebeanstalk.com/Guidecraft/toy-product-detail/Victorian-Dollhouse.html">Victorian Dollhouse</a>!  Right now, ebeanstalk is offering FREE SHIPPING on orders over $65!  Hurry and order before the holidays!  You can also check out other great products on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/plantoys">Plan Toys Facebook Fan Page</a>!</p>
