My daughter loved this toy as well, and I found it to be a great educational toy for her. We have since retired it to the attic for future children as she has too many big toys.
I had a toy similar to this when my kids were 2-3, they loved it. Loved the mailbox and going through the door and looking at each other through the window.
I have never tried this product before, but according to the reviews it seems like a huge hit.
Kept my son entertained for hours and now my daughter is learning to love it also. My son learned all of the words and songs and "Lights on/off" from this.
I bought this for my youngest daughter and it was a hit with our other 3 daughters to. The quality is amazing...she played with the toy for 2 years along with ther 3 older sister ranging from 4-8 at the time. I then was able to pass it on to my sister when she had her first child and she to enjoyed it for years.
My 3 1/2 year old STILL plays with this toy! I have it out because her 7 month old sister is ready to play with it-you definitely get your moneys worth!
