For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved the idea of making a ‘grown up’ object miniature and still be able to use it. The Dyson hairstyling set and Dyson Cordless Vacuum do just that – shrink down the real-life size to something manageable to a toddler. Both sets actually work too, with the hairdryer from the styling set blowing air and the cordless vacuum really does have working suction!
The Dyson Styling Set contains a hairdryer, diffuser attachment, straightening nozzle, brush and comb. It’s based on the (very expensive) version of the Dyson supersonic that’s a favourite of Millennials. Each of the attachments actually work, so the brush can be used to brush a child’s hair, the diffuser and nozzle attach to the hair dryer and both can be used to ‘dry’ hair, although the air current is very weak. They are absolute miniatures of the real thing, just half the size for little hands to be able to use them! There’s even sound effects and panel lights to make it more realistic.
The Dyson Cordless Vacuum is again a miniature replica of the real thing. It comes with the main vacuum body, long nozzle attachment, and an interchangeable carpet vacuum head. Just like the real-life thing! The whole vacuum measures 68cms in height, but it’s very lightweight for a toddler to be able to pick it up and use it. The body of the vacuum, where the dust would usually be collected, is filled with tiny coloured particles which children can take out and vacuum up again.
With both kits, there is a great deal of learning for small children, which not only includes role play and imagination play, but the dexterity of using the brush and diffuser tools, adding and removing the vacuum heads and pressing all the buttons. There’s the science behind the air currents too, and cause and effect. They’re brilliant for keeping children amused, and we won’t mention how it encourages them to help out around the house too!
