Playset Reviews

I remember when I was a child I begged my mother for the strawberry shortcakes. To my dismay my sister received the whole line of the strawberry shortcakes every last one of them including the accessories and the house. I didn't get one, and she didn't even ask for them and she never wanted to share the dolls!

I remember her purposely cutting the hair off of my favorite doll (which was Angel cakes, she smelled so heavenly)
just so I couldn't play with it!

I'm determined this Christmas to buy as many of the dolls as I possibly can, I'm still bitter about this mind you. So I'm going to buy them for my self, you can call this my personal therapy... ;-)

These dolls are so cute. My 4 year old loves them. Santa is bringing the house for Christmas. We have already purchased all of the dolls available and plead with the manufacturers to make more. Where is Huckleberry Pie and Honey the Horse? They are on the videos but not available as dolls. Bring Back Lime Chiffon and Peach Blush and the rest of the gang-PLEASE!!! Great dolls-fair price!!!

My little girl just sat and stared at these dolls while she held them for the first time. She loves them and they are so cute. We BOTH enjoy playing with them!

I was skeptical because of the price, but my 2 1/2 year old and all of her same age friends spend a countless amount of time in here. They read, play with toys and I sometimes put a little table and chairs in for supervised snacks. I recommend this highly if you have the indoor room to spare. Folds and reshapes nicely.

My kids love this playhut. Not only do they use it to play "house," but we also take it camping with us. It has been very durable......but I CAN'T GET IT TO FOLD DOWN. I have tried the directions listed on this site, I have surfed all over the web(...). I still cannot get this thing to twist into 3 circles. I would say that this was still worth the money, and I would buy it again even if it doesn't fold down. (...)

This thing is the greatest. I bought this for my 18 month old girl. She absoultly loves it. Like everyone else said, it is quite large ~10' X ~5'. Although we have not used it outside yet, we will be. As for as folding it I wont lie, it took me almost 30 minutes to figure it out. Here's how I did it:

--Stand at the top of the house.
--Grab the Bottom of the house, one hand near (not at) each corner.
--Fold it down until shape resembles a "C".
--Continue until the top and the bottom almost touch each other.
--Now here the tricky part, slide your hands toward the middle and move the bottom metal rod inward toward the middle of the house.
--The sides will start to fold up and to the center.
--Once the the middle rod is in the center of the house.
--Grab the sides and fold them down one on top of the other.

I am the 28 year old lucky recipient of the Special Edition Townhome, some deluxe furniture packs, and this grand piano. Firstly, as a pianist, it is just awesome to gaze at. However, it plays 4 classical pieces and single notes, encouraging a real moment for a child to engage in music interest or hone their skills if they are learning piano or another instrument. I have it situated by the terrace doors. The piano itself is austere and, well, grand. The wall screen, fabulous, separates the master bedroom suite from the claw - footed tub and bathroom my mom and I created. It is durable and elegant and coordinates with the entire home. The carpet is unusual and the bench is padded and large enough for mom and daughter to share in a piano lesson together! It brings back the memories of my childhood. I am very impressed.

I WILL BE 41 ON 12/1 I HAVE THE CLASSIC DOLL HOUSE,TOWN HOUSE AND RECENTLY PURCHASED VICTORIAN DOLL HOUSE FOR MYSELF I LOVE EVERTHING FISHER PRICE MAKES FOR THESE HOUSES I OWN ALL THE ASCESSORIES THEY MAKE I'AM CONSTANTLY IN SEARCH OF ANY NEW PRODUCTS THEY HAVE FOR THESE HOUSES.I LOVE TO REDECORATE THEM AND POSE THE FIGURES,THEN JUST SIT BACK AND STARE AT THEM I HAVE THEM SET UP ON TABLES IN A 2ND BEDROOM SO WHEN YOU WALK IN IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS YOU NOTICE, I HAVE JUST ONE COMPLAINT I WAS A LITTLE UP SET THAT I COULD'NT CHOOSE THE BLACK FAMILY FOR MY TOWN HOUSE"FP" DID'NT MAKE THAT AND OPTION LIKE THEY DID WITH THE OTHER 2 HOUSES I GOT THE TOWN HOUSE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT 120.00 FOR THAT PRICE I FELT I SHOULD HAVE HAD A CHOICE, FOR THE GROWN-UP KID THESE ARE THE TOYS THAT I WANTED AS A KID,THESE ARE THE HOMES I WANT TO OWN AS AND ADULT AND I DO IN MY MIND AND THEY ARE ALL PAID FOR. 5 STARS FISHER PRICE VERY HAPPY HERE IN MICHIGAN

We've had this piano for over a year now and it is a favorite accessory for our FP dollhouse. Both of my daughters (5 and 2) love it. The piano is defnitely durable as it gets lots of attention. The screen and the other pieces are not as durable and don't get played with as much. This is definitely a must-have toy for any dollhouse fan.

I bought this for my son when he was 15 months old, and he loved it right away. It holds his attention for hours...amazing! The three doors on the bottom open and close w/o worry for pinched fingers, which satisfies his need to open and close things all day long. All of his friends love it too! A suggestion though, this exact item is $79.98 at Toys R Us.

We bought this for our daughter (then 15 months) at christmas time. It has been the first thing she goes to every morning since. It is so realistic and fun, she loves pretending to cook and do dishes. We have bought some more play food since christmas and the cupboards have plenty of room to store it all! I think this is one of the best big ticket items you could buy....and will grow with your child for years to come! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My 2-year-old daughter got this kitchen for Christmas and loved it! I loved the fact it didn't have many little pieces like the other play kitchens had. The kitchen comes with pretend food, however there are no pots, pans, or utensils. Littles Tikes makes a set for this kitchen with pots and pans-I would recommend buying it. And Little Tikes = DURABLE. The stove, faucet, microwave all make true to life noises. And my daughter loves to poke her head through the window. My husband and I put it together ourselves. It took us about an hour, not that difficult. My daughter loved it because it was so much like Mommy's kitchen. I have no complaints whatsoever. This toy was well worth the money we spent ($100 at Toys R Us around Christmas). My daughter had peeled off some of the stickers (she does that to all her toys) and Little Tikes sent me replacement ones for FREE! This is a MUST BUY!

Let me start with saying I've been hesitant to buy my 3-year old too many "girly" things (she has Matchbox cars, toy trucks, Barbies, etc).
She got this teapot set as a gift, and it's been a big hit with her. She'll spend hours playing "tea party" both by herself and by bringing us into the game too.
She really likes playing with the dishes in the bathroom sink, so all the stickers have come off already. But that hasn't stopped her from playing with the set at least once a day.

I bought this for my daughter at 17 months after seeing her fascination with it at a friend's birthday party. All of the dishes are bright and sparkly; very eye-catching to a toddler. Due to her age I tucked the knives away in a drawer until she is older. All of the other pieces have kept her entertained for countless hours. I was concerned the teapot would be cracked within a week, or the lid would become stripped, but it has proven to be as durable as the rest of the set. It has been 7 months since I purchased this and it is still a favorite. This is a definite "HIT" for our family!

My two daughters love this and have played with it for hours. I would recommend it to any one who has a daughter(s) that LOVES Disney Princesses. Great pretend play.

It's fun when you have a big imagiation, but I like the toys with more action.

We gave the Large King's Castle to our 4 year old grandson for Christmas - assembled of course! He LOVES it!!! But DO allow yourself plenty of DAYS to assemble it. It is not difficult to assemble but, I would suggest the packagers get a better system for packaging the parts rather than the helter skelter packaging. I suggest all the parts to STEP 1 be packaged together, STEP 2 parts together, etc. Half the challenge was finding the parts to each step. Also, assemble it on a large board of some sort - a train board or low table. This toy lends itself to a great deal of imagination and creativity. He also received the pirates ship. What fun - the pirates invaded the castle and put all the knights in the dungeons and, of course, made off with the treasure chest. Despite the time it took us to assemble it, it was worth it.

I bought this castle for my ten year old son when he was four. He still plays with it. We have the baron battle tower, the western fort, the big pirate ship, and countless other small accessory sets. Yes, it is a delicate toy, and has to be played with carefully, somewhat like Lego sets, but the important thing is that it is probably the only toys that you buy for Christmas or birthdays, that your child will still be playing with a year later! Every winter, all of the playmobil gets set up and played with all winter long. My fifteen year old son is a "builder" and loves to put together all of this stuff. We have bought countless hotwheels, action figures, which we still buy, but playmobil and lego top them all for maintaining a childs interest and creativity. The fun part for me has always been to set up these huge sets with my boys the day after Christmas after the company has gone. Believe me, the price is worth it when it is a favorite with your child. This year my ten year old wants all the Viking stuff. Merry Christmas!

The toy was really great.Here's what it featured:
*3 characters -Mot(the yellow doh doh),Zlok (the blue doh doh) & Twango (the green doh doh)
*Doh Doh Island Tiki bowl set
* 3 2 oz play dohs
* MOld for tiki pins & bowl
* Bonus VHS Tape:Doh Doh Island Adventures Volume 1
If you like this playset,buy the Tiki Tu (Red doh doh) or Twiki(Pink doh doh) figures wich are sold seperately or the Doh doh Island:Skishketballplayset which was the more recent doh doh playset.I sure wish there would be a Flango character figure(the turquise doh doh).You know,Flango was actually a character from the video.I mentioned there was a bonus video.THe video featured 6 episodes:
*"Birthdoh Cake" wher MOt has a birthday and Twango and Zlok argue over who's making the cake.So the two bakers bring both of the cakes to the birthday and Mot ruins the cakes because he likes to jump so much.So everyone tastes the cakes and they like 'em together.
*"Happy Doh Lucky" where Flango finds a bad luck sign-the diamond dohstone so Mot and Zlok bring it back to the cave.But they lose it when they see a snake and Flango has the doh stone which was really a toy ducky.
*"Hip Hip hair-ay"where Twiki was starting to use Compound X instead of Doh Doh Hair Compound for Doh doh hair and uses them improperly.
*"Yo Ho Do" where Twango,Zlok and Mot are finding treausure and found it in Twiki's spetunias and it was Tiki Tu's treasure doh.
*"Video Doh Doh" where Flango is at the VIdeo arcade and is not very good at smashng Tikis.But when he sees a differnt point of himself he starts being good at it.
Well,I forgot the name of the lastepisode but in that episode,Mot wants to win the Tiki Bowl tournament but he can't hit the pins.So a splattasauras egg rolls by and Mot thinks its a bowling ball.Then he finds egg bowling ball and wins.
Great product for preschoolers.The video is worth watching and the playset is worth playing with.Too bad Doh Doh Island Adventures Volume 1 (2003) is not available on DVD.It's not even available in rental stores.THank You!

What fun you will have playing with your little one at Doh Doh Island. The PlayDoh characters are so funny looking you can't help but burst out laughing. My only suggession would be to use some of the other playdoh you may have around, the more colors the more fun.

My 6 year old son received this for a Christmas gift and he absolutely loves it. His came with the vidoe which he watches all of the time. I would recommend this for any playdough fan and my son is looking forward to the new Doh Doh Island set comming out on 2/15.

I bought this parachute to take to Ecuador, South America with me to use in the Elementary school. I found it to be a huge help witht the language barrier and the children had a blast. I left it at the school when I came back to the states and I plan on purchasing another one for my own classroom. This is such a great investment!

I bought this parachute despite not being sure of it's dimensions. The description did state it is about 9 feet but others I had found on-line (10 or 12 feet) seemed much more expensive so I expected something smaller. Anyway, I just received it today and I am quite excited. The parachute is actually 10 feet in diameter and has 12 handles. So it is much larger than I had originally expected. This is a great deal and I can't wait for my kids to wake up from their naps so we can play!

I bought two of these parachutes; one for my daughter and one as a gift. They have been a big hit. Kids come up with great uses for the parachute beyond the play pictured on the box. The parachutes make great forts to hide in and when draped over a window they give a room a bright and colorful glow that kids love. We have also used the parachute as a picnic blanket and strung it in trees to provide shade. You can't miss buying this parachute and Amazon.com's price is great. I have seen the same item go for over $40.00 on ebay. My kids are 3 and 4 and I forsee that they will be playing with their parachute for a long, long time yet. Loving our parachutes!

This is a great toy!! I as soon as i saw it, it reminded me of the FRIENDS Coffee house. I like how it is really durable and it doesn't fall apart. Everything was really easy to put together unlike other Barbie platsets. This is a great toy!! Every girl should have it.

ok well, that's fine,
but i LIKE things that are
pink, frilly, and feminine.
hope they put more of those
out. this is a cute set,though.

I was blown away by the handiwork and attention to detail put into this toy. From the couch to the coffee table. It looks as if it has a real woven mat. Its so cute and so awesome. Anyone who loves toys will love this set. Barbie has somewhere to go!

Ok well My daughter Stephie is totally obsessed with my scene when she first got her my scene barbie doll, she had a lot of fun possibly, we saw the funky cute pink room with shoes portraits and style clothing and when we saw that the barbie came with the room it was so economic not like those bratz they are so expensive and they have no feet and there face is too big I mean I got her one and she doesnt even pay attention to it she love the my scene barbie she already has like the whole collection this room that comes with this doll is so incradable at fisrt i said its too much money but thinking about its cheap and the barbie is so beautyful, I trully recommend this toy its a lot of fun I even play with my daughter and have tons of fun when she grows up she even tells me she wants to be blonde and wants to be like barbie I am so satisfited with this product.

Its cool because you can act out scenes and pretend shes going on a date. Sometimes, I pretend that she just woke up and is getting ready to go to the mall with friends. Its so much better than tv.

The doll itself is very pretty. Especially her beautiful smile. Now the Bratz lovers can't complain that my scene is copying bratz because the new my scene doesn't have an ugly scowel like the bratz do. The only problem is her hair. It is wavy and way too thinck! It is very hard to style it and it looks so plain when it is down. WARNING: be very careful with that kind of hair because it melts in the heat! The hair is made out of very, very thin layers of plastic and plastic melts in the heat. So never get it wet and then blow dry it because all her hair will fall out. But overall this doll is very fun and comes with cute outfits. I recomend it.
