Captain’s Rocking Boat
by Hape
A rocking boat for little sea stories they get to lead.
The sort of play you hear from the next room
Some days family life needs play that starts without much explaining. This boat gives your little one an obvious world to enter: steer away from pirates, row towards treasure, reach with the hook, then announce where the crew is heading next. Over time, the islands, treasure spots and captain’s rules become part of their own running story.

Product overview
For the child who likes to be in charge of the story
Pretend play has more to come back to when your child has a part to step into, not just a toy to look at. At first, the Captain’s Rocking Boat may be all about taking the wheel. Soon the oars join in, then the hook becomes part of the treasure search. Before long, the story keeps changing: pirate one day, explorer the next, captain of a new mission after breakfast. The boat stays familiar, while the journey keeps becoming theirs again.
