Fun 'til it falls over!
Both my one year old and my three year old love this toy! However, whenever the one year old tries to push the top buttons, the whole station falls over. I think they could have made a whole station that opens by splitting in half. My brothers had an FP one in the eighties with a hinge in the middle, so that kids can use both sides and it doesn't fall over. The best feature of the current one is that the fireman can come down a chute straight into the truck. My oldest was especially thrilled by that feature since he really wants a firepole in his own room.

Pretty Decent Toy
I bought this for my 19 month old son, who has a fascination with large trucks, especially those with lights! He loves to push the little buttons to make the noises, but hasn't gotten the idea that he has to push them all the way down to get the doors to work. He likes both of the vehicles, and does put the people in and out of them. I think it's very cute, but the noises might end up driving some parents crazy. I have just learned to tune out the toys(...)

A little disappointed
My son (2yrs.) gets frustrated because the people just set in the vehicles(they are not like the other Little People)and they tend to fall out.
We have the Ramps Around Garage and thought this would be a nice addition to that, but the fire truck and ambulance wheels are too wide to work on the Garage.
Other than those things we really enjoy this toy.

More Little People to Love
My son received this for Christmas and it's a great addition to our Little People collection.

It fits perfectly with the garage if you have it to make a city centre. My son (1) and his sisters (4 and 3) love the buttons on top which activate the different sirens for Ambulance or Fire and then also used to open the garage doors when there is an "emergency" for the little people to get to.

As with all Little People sets, they are extremely durable (even when thrown clear across the room), completely interchangable between Little People sets, easy to keep clean and most importantly - provides hours of fun for role play which is only limited to your imagination.

Great fun!

a huge hit
My 3-year old grandson plays with this toy the entire time he is visiting me. he loves pushing the buttons and hearing the sounds and having the doors open. It is very durable!!! The ambulance and firetruck have fallen many, many times from a high place--nothing has broken off. The nurse and fireman have been carried around in dog's mouth. The doors have opened hundreds of times. They work every time. I have recommended this toy to others. For the money it is great entertainment. ... Read more

An education in frustration
A 5 yr old's life is frustrating enough. Waiting not so patiently for papa to get done with his chores so he can go watch the kids skate. The time has finally come. Every 30 seconds ... papa, the straps are loose again. Thank goodness they aren't to the point of skating down our somewhat steep street. They would break their neck with these straps coming undone.

I bought two sets for my two 5 yr olds and the straps keep coming undone on both sets. The tensioning clasp just doesn't stay snapped shut. I looked high and low for a good pair of skates with features that I wanted, an inline with training wheels. These looked like the ticket, and I ignored the reviews as I couldn't fine others with these features. That's what I get for ignoring the reviews.

... Overall the skates look like a good design but are rendered useless with the always opening clasps. ... A locking strap clasp would be an easy modification. ..

4 year old loves it!
I bought this for my 4 year olds birthday in April and they have been great. I haven't had any problems with the closures holding, they appear to be pretty strong. I wasn't thrilled with how bulky they look but my son thinks they are pretty cool. I think the skates are a good way to start learning to in-line skate.

Faulty closures!! Do not recommend.
These skates do not allow much fun because every time my son gets going they come undone. The buckles(closures)do not stay shut. He cannot wear them at all because of this, I am constantly closing the buckles. I was so excited about getting these for him for christmas, and I turned out getting him a pair of the fisher price my first skates. I recommend if your childs foot will still fit in the fisher price my first skates to get those because these are not worth it. I was very disappointed in these because I like the look a lot more, than the fisher price my first skates, but oh well, the fisher price work better, and I have to go with that.I hope this helps.

Don't waste your money
I bought these skates for my 3 yr old and the strap keeps coming undone. I'm going to return them. ... Read more

Great for Blue's Clues fans!
I bought this for my son's 2nd birthday and he absolutely loves it.

The toy measures approximately 12" tall; the arms are outstretched, so technically it is around 10.5" wide. I wanted to know this information when I was shopping, and am sure others will too.

The stomach holds the batteries & microphone and is therefore hard; however, the fabric is very soft to the touch so my son still loves to sleep with it at night.

When you squeeze Blue's hand she says many different phrases. Some of them are: "Hi you, there's so much we can do", "I can boogie" "I love you, I love you, I love you *kissing sound*", "I can pretend with you" "You're a good friend" "What a great team we are, don't you think?", "Let's talk again", and countless more.

If you have a child that is in love with Blue's Clues (as mine is), then this is definitely a great toy for them at a fantastic price. ... Read more

Very disappointed
We bought these skates for our 5 year old. She could barely skate in them. They are too big and bulky for children just learning to skate. We returned them and have yet to find another pair.

Not good skates!
We bought these for our 4 yr old and were disappointed with them. Too big and hard to handle, however, we picked up a pair of the basic plastic pair that her shoe can also fit in and she did great! After they get the hang of those, the Barbie adjustable inline skates are great! They are $ and well worth it! Stay away from the "learn to inline skates" though! Luckily the store took those back!

poor quality
I took my niece skating last night with these skates. They were forever coming unstrapped - and actually fell off her foot once. They look nice - but not safe at all. ... Read more

Great addition to the dollhouse.......
This is really cute. It doesn't look like alot but it really adds to the whole looke of the dollhouse. It is made to match the dollhouse and it comes with another Dora in a different outfit than the one with the dollhouse. With alot of kids wanting to play with the dollhouse and all the accessories you can never have too many Doras. It also includes a potting bench which has can be flipped so that Dora is planting either vegetables or flowers, a wheelbarrow and a big sun hat for dora to wear. It also makes the noise of birds chirping when you press the mat in front of the door. We are happy we got this. ... Read more

It's a great toy!
My son Logan (7) says:
Its a great toy. It has a place for the pirates to sleep, shelter, etc. I use it with my other Imaignext sets for battles. It stays set up in my room for days! I recommend this toy!

We had to buy TWO!!!!
The kids went CRAZY over this one! First the hole in the sand! HOW cool!! All the animals fit, the guys, treasure, or even just the swords and stuff! A great idea! We also like the Tiki hut roof and the log walls, sand floors are really cool and the palm tree rocks!

Our creative kids created two sand islands with the sets (Pirate ship added for more walls and floors, and the Nautical 'shipwreck' feel) and then made a big tree with the Lost Fortress... Know what they played? SURVIVOR!!! The tree is Tribal Council, "the tribe has spoken." LOL! Tooo fun!

Worthy of the price and lots of things to change this one into! Great idea!!!

Lots of fuel for the imagination
My 3 year old loves his pirate island. There is a place for buried treasure, working canons (which are made not to cause injuries), fallen trees and lots of little accessories. Although he is not old enough, the island has the capability to be arranged and built in many different ways. Plenty of potential to grow into it for many years.

kids love these, especially the "fantasy" types
My son has played with these toys since he was 4 --- he has acquired about seven different sets from the Imaginext line -(pirates, lost fortress, castles) -- yea relatives! as well as various extra guys (available at Wal-mart) and he shows absolutely no sign of slowing down on play with them (he's 6) -- he has other toys, natch, but plays with these daily. The other kids love them as well, especially as they tie into the child's love of knights, pirates, lord of the tings, and robin hood. EXCELLENT for creative play, as the sets can mix and match and be configured in unique constructions. Durable (NOTHING broken yet), loaded with little extras, great value -- buy them all for a truly thrilled and absorbed child.

Imaginext building system is great!!
I don't know why the previous reviewer submitted a review---he doesn't own the toy, has never seen it, yet he submits a review?!! Amazon...you should remove that review since it doesn't accurately reflect the toy's value.
We, on the other hand, DO own this toy and my 4 year old son absolutely loves it!!! He often combines it with the other Imaginext products and creates a different toy each time. The wonderful thing about Imaginext is the freedom it provides to create an endless possibility of ideas. One day he might construct each system according to the "plan" provided. Another day he might combine the construction pieces with the castle and forest pieces, creating large fortresses and towers. His imagination soars when he plays with these toys and he seems to never tire of them. I would highly recommend Imaginext toys for any child. I only wish they would produce a line that was geared toward girls---maybe a fairytale castle or enchanted forest? ... Read more

Doodle Pro is not as challenging as its predecessor-sketcher, but it's just as intriguing for younger kids, who will ponder the mystery of the sketching surface just the same. Unlike with the trusty Etch-a-Sketch, kids who are just developing spatial and coordination skills don't have to worry about an increasingly complex, unbroken line of metallic dust, and there are no knobs to contend with. That's all too tricky: they just want to draw! To that end, there's a fat, easy-grip stylus with a magnetic tip, and four magnet stampers stored in a pull-out drawer. When the molded forms are pressed on the 10.5 by 7.5-inch doodling surface, shapes are created. And, instead of shaking (again, exertion), there's a sliding eraser for starting over instantly. Because there's no mess, and only a few loose pieces, it's also great for travel. Diane Beall ... Read more

The best toy we have for our 21 month old
My daughter played with the magnadoodle at my mother-in-law's house so much that we bought her one of her own. It was great for a plane trip, because the pen only writes on the board, not on paper, the chair, her leg, etc. Plus, she loves the stamps. (Note to the other reviewer: the magnets are stickers that you have to attach when you first get the box open.)

If I have one complaint, it is that you have to push the stamps down pretty hard to set them back into their drawer or the drawer won't close. On the other hand, it keeps them from falling out too easily.

We never had a problem with the hand pinching. I recommend the magnadoodle for anyone wanting a great gift for a toddler.

BADLY designed new model!!!
My 4 1/2 year old son had the older model of the magna doodle and LOVED it, he used it almost everyday for his "artwork" in bed rather than markers or crayons. Needless to say it got worn out as toys tend to do, I was satisfied with how long it lasted since he used it daily for over two years.

We decided to buy him a new one so he didn't have to work around the permanent star in the corner (from pressing to hard) When I went to the store to get him a new one I was VERY disapointed with the look of this new model and a little nervous about the "drawer" for the magnet shapes (which by the way work well IF you actually put the magnets on the shapes...they come in the box and you have to stick them on yourself.) But since he "needed" one I bought it and we gave it to him for the first time at the beginning of a 4 1/2 hour car trip. He was playing with it for a TOTAL of five minutes before he pinched his little finger in the drawer...and needless to say it was PINCHED, he couldn't get it out himself. Fisher Price will be getting a call about it, it just is NOT safe. The old model had I believe eight NOT FOUR stamper shapes, so it was a let down. The ONLY improvement on this is the pen is spring loaded so you can't press as hard. Although he is being VERY careful now with the drawer he is still getting stray fingers pinched...the only way we see to fix it is to cut apart the back of it! um, no!

If you can buy the old model I totally recommend this toy, but I have a feeling fisher price will be redoing this one soon! It's just an awful design! THe old design would have gotten 5 stars all across the board...but how can a toy that "hurts" be fun OR educational...and that drawer is bound to break off.

My 2 year old loves this
We bought this for my son's 2nd birthday recently and he really loves it. The only thing is, it comes with these "stamps" but we tried everything and they just don't work. I thought you just push down on the board with them like regular stamps but it does nothing. We could trace them but on the package it shows them as stamps, not traces. So if anyone knows how to use them, I'd appreciate some insight.

The board and pen are great though. It draws dark and nice and erases just as well, unlike a similiar toy he had. I definitely recommend this toy for kids that love drawing. It mess free, a big plus! We've only had it a few days but it seems durable. ... Read more

Not that exciting of a toy andtoo loud!
I bought this toy for my 8 month old son. I thought he would enjoy banging the hammer on the buttons.He chews on the hammer and rolls the toy around, obviously this toy does not keep his attention well. It is also very loud. It does have volume control, but it is still too loud.

Just okay...
My 3 year old wanted this toy after seeing it in the store. (She liked the little mole that would pop up and say "Peek-a-Boo!") I didn't think it would hold her attention for very long, but because I also have a 5 month old that can "grow into it", I went ahead and got it. At first, I was really disappointed. It seemed that it didn't do much. Actually, though, after playing with it more with my kids, it's okay, although I definitely think there are better toys out there for your money (more "bang" for your buck, as the saying goes). My daughter likes to pull the tape measure and hear it sing the ABC song, but the lyrics to the other song just go on about what this toy can "teach". It is really quite a dumb song, in my opinion. It's to the same tune as a song on the Learning Home, only with different words. The one on the Learning Home is better (although it's not my favorite either). The music and sounds that go with the other parts of the toy are great--upbeat and fun. I like how it counts as you pound the shapes, and if you stop pounding before 10, it will play a cute, short little melody. It's nice that you don't really have to "pound" either... a gentle press of the shape is all it takes, which will be good for my little one. The slider button names the shape and it's color as you slide it below the shape, but it's pretty hard to slide. My 3 year old can do it fine, but I think even a 1 year old might find it a bit hard to do on their own. The down side to this toy is that it is very HEAVY. It'd also be nice if the tape measure played more than just two songs. I was right about it not holding my 3-year old's interest for long (2-3 minutes is all in one sitting).We'll see how it goes with my 5 month old as she gets a little older.

Not that interesting
I originally had the FP Laugh and Learn Birdbath for my 8 mo old. She loved it.She loved the songs, the shapes and the birds.It broke after about 2 weeks though.So I exchanged it for this, because the price was equal in value, it was also a "laugh and learn" toy, and they didn't have the birdbath anymore.
But....
The songs on this are horrible. She isn't interested in it at all. The songs don't get her attention, the only thing that does get her attention is when it lights up. But, that's to be expected. She used to sit and play with the birdbath for about 5-10 minutes.This won't hold her attention for one minute.
I'm taking this one back too. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Avast, me hearties! Captain Bones of the Phantom Pirates dares you to try finding his stolen loot buried deep within the eerily glowing Phantom Island. But beware! Sinister traps await! This cleverly designed game consists of interlocking snap-together pieces that allow players to create any number of arrangements for the island. However it’s built, there are traps around every corner, from the fingerbone skeleton cages to the spiked pendulum to--most bloodcurdling of all--the secret idol-activated erupting volcano! More experienced players can treat this game as a building toy as well as a play set, while younger kids will be thrilled just to keep trying to sneak up on those scurvy bilge rats! Includes two pirates, boat, accessories, and glow-in-the-dark-embellished island (with secret treasure cave), all made of durable hard plastic. Arrr! --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

Fun and Cute!
I bought this for my 23 month old daughter yesterday, she LOVES it. She was so excited while I was putting it together. She will be keeping this at Grandma's house (she spends about 3 days a week there). My daughter especially loved the ferris wheel. She and I both like the music, luckily there is an off switch should Mommy or Grandma need break from the noise.

I also bought two extentions to this set (Little People Surprise Sounds Fun Park & Little People Parading Pals), each of these are so cute and fun.

My daughter's Aunt thought it was such a cute toy (I think she will play with it too and she is 35!). Of course I am looking forward to playing with it myself. :)

I think this is a great investment. If something changes I'll edit this review.

Mom's addicted to Little People
I think I love Little People stuff more than my almost 2 year old daughter. This set in particular I think is wonderful because the ferris wheel plays music, and what makes it mom-friendly is the fact that there is also an on and off switch! I have more fun playing with these toys than I think she does which allows us some fun quality play time together.

Still interested even after getting toy home!
My son picked this out at the store and played with it in the store and continues to enjoy it at home(sometimes he just plays in store, then when I get the toy home he could care less!). Yes, a volume switch would be nice, but it does capture the loud nerve wracking ambience of an amusement park. My son loves to give the little people a vigorous spin and is especially amused by the fun house mirror. The bottle throw component is less enthralling.

All in all a cute, durable toy which my son is enjoying piecing together.

Great fun
My children received this Little People set for Christmas. They love it. Not only because it's Little People (And I can say that Little People are the one toy they play with every single day!), but because this set features one of their favourie things - rides at the fair!

They love the music of the Ferris Wheel and the "laughter" of the Little People (I think the music is a bit loud and there is no volume control but the kids just think it's great.

My just turned one year old is not the most gentle boy, prefering to throw things around the house than sitting down and playing but this ferris wheel (as with all our Little People) stands up to all their rough play - extremely durable.

A really cute addition to your Little People collection.

Fun Ferris Wheel
I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it online and I knew that my son would as well. When we bought it in the store he was grinning from ear to ear. I read the other reviews and I do not feel that this toy is any louder than any of the other toys kids have. My son loves putting all his Little People on the Ferris Wheel and saying "Whee". Excellent product! ... Read more

Kids won't be afraid of the dark with this heavy-duty flashlight by their beds. It looks just like the one you carry in your car, but it's made for kids. For one thing, it shines in white, green, or red light with the turn of a switch, and it has an automatic shutoff. If the bar underneath the handle isn't pressed down, the flashlight will shut off in 30 seconds. It also has a manual on/off switch, so kids can feel like they're in total control. Mom or Dad will need to help install the batteries with a screwdriver, but after that kids will be off to explore the darkest corners of the closets or on a jungle safari through the living room. --Lynne Sampson ...

not a battery hog!
We purchased this on Amazon for our than 2.5 year old son. At 3.5...a whole year later, he still likes playing with it. It has held up to a very active little boys rough play, with its durable plastic and large buttons. It doesn't hog batteries like some flashlights. It goes out after awhile, rather than burn the night away inside your child's covers AFTER they have fallen asleep. It has a fun nob that creates 2 extra colors to play with. It is bright enough to really USE in the dark. The model we have is not the white one, it is bright yellow. This is a really nice little flashlight for kids. Recommended!

best toy ever!!!
This toy is SUPER. My son received this as a Christmas gift and I thought it as a terrible choice (he was 2 at the time) 2 years later my son STILL sleeps with this flashlight and takes it everytime we go anywhere in case we "can't see"! Great tool for potty training (or trying to get little ones not to pee the bed) my son LOVES getting up in the night with his flashlight, so he can see, and going to the bathroom. This is a toy every little boy should have from the age of 2 on :-)
Great gift idea !!!!

Has lasted thru 2 boys
This was a gift for my first son when he was 18 months old. He wasn't so interested at first, but by about 2 years old he loved it and would "rediscover" it from time to time. Now my 2nd boy, 18 months old, plays with it all the time. Has been a great toy for in the car. The batteries do last a long time. Take awhile for the kids to figure out how to turn it on (there are 2 buttons required) but once that is mastered, it is fun all the way!

a fun fun thing
I forever looling for items that will keep my three year old triplets busy for mor then two minutes=these flashlights did the trick-they love them

My first flashlight
This was my first flashlight growing up & finally threw it away when I got married (didn't use it anymore, of course, but call me a pack rat...)--that should sum up the durability part!. I am buying this for my 2 year old son for Christmas so we won't have to hide our flashlights anymore! I'm sure he'll love it as much as I did. ... Read more

Dora Floating Island bathtub toy
My 3 year old daughter carli went nuts in the store when she saw this bathtub toy. She does play with it everytime shes in the tub, but I am not happy. Due to the holes in the characters that come with the set its more work for me to have to struggle to get the water out of them after each bath. The last thing us mothers need is more work! My 3 year old does love the toy and because I love her I will keep it and continue to squeeze the water out after each use.

Daughter loves this - as a parent I'm a bit less impressed
I bought this for my two year old daughter who absolutely loves this toy. Whenever I say it is bath time she responds "Dora Island?' and heads for the bathroom. Unfortunately, I am a bit less impressed. For starters, Dora, Diego and Boots float face down in the water. The little boat that it comes with will not hold one of the characters sitting up, they have to lie down or the boat will tip. This does cause my daughter to repeatedly try to get the character in the boat and she eventually gives up. Each character is made of a reasonably hard plastic, but each has a hole in the bottom. Of coarse, water fills each character and it is very difficult to get the water out for drying (which the instructions do recommend you dry this toy between uses). The slide has a snap together part which also fills with water that is impossiblt to get out. We have only had this toy for two weeks but I am beginning to worry about mildew building up. I give this toy a 4 because I know these are minor issues, but I would have thought Fisher Price would have given these issues a bit more thought. If I had it to do all over again I probably would have had my daughter only play with this on dry land!

All Dora...all the time
That is it, my life has officially been taken over by this sweet little Latina. (Well, her and my 3 yr old daughter who is obsessed w/ her!) I bought this for my daughter because she loves all things Dora. And let me tell you, she LOVES this. It makes bathtime more fun. Even on days when she's not interested in personal hygiene, she can be lured to the tub of water with this little toy. It is great for imaginative play. She creates all sorts of little stories with the 3 characters included (Dora, Boots, and Diego). She also loves to pour water into the tree and see Swiper spin around. It's made fairly well. The only thing I don't like is the tree seems to fall quite a bit, but that's not the end of the world. Overall, a fun tub toy for the $. ... Read more

A break-out wall!!!
We are really excited about this addition to the set - the castle itself has some nice design points like the stairs to the trap door, the claw on the string to grab people (Use your imagination heavily with this, it doesn't wind to pull back), the codor/eagle that shoots, and the BREAK OUT DOOR! Our two older kids, 10 & 11, had to 'discuss' who would get the important door feature, really a favorite for our archtects. Our toddler likes using the bird to fire at stacks of the guys like target practice and the 2nd grader likes to put the leftovers with other pieces to make different looking castles. The blue stonework for the new stuff is a really nice touch.

We are medievil fans and LOVE this stuff - HUZZAH!! ... Read more

CHOKING HAZARD-----keep your eyes on this one!
We bought this to enhance my son's "ramps around garage." My son, a 22-month-old, plays fairly gently with his toys. Last week, as he was playing with this, the yellow "gas" hose that attaches to the toy broke right off. It broke into two separate pieces, one about an inch, the other about 2 inches....definite choking hazards! My son was confused about what happened, so he brought the pieces to me. Luckily, he didn't stick them in his mouth. I contacted the company, and there are not any recalls or replacement parts for this item. I don't think I would recommend this toy, but if you do have it in your home, I would strongly recommend sitting right by your toddler whenever he or she is playing with it! I was only a few feet away, but he still could have tried to swallow the pieces!

Mom of 3 boys
This toy was mainly bought so we could have more vehicles for the big garage, but the last reviewer was right, this toy is pretty junky. I expected more from this toy especially because it is Fisher Price. They love the Little People videos, they watch them over and over again, all day long. The car wash part of this toy is pretty lame overall, but my 7 month old likes to chew on it so at least it gets some use.

very disappointed
we bought this toy for are 3 year old, well very disappointed. The car wash is junk the ramp is hard to move up and down. I can't see how they expect a 3 year old to move it when I have trouble moving it. Will be returning to the store. The only good thing about it is the tow truck and the extra car with hood that opens. ... Read more

Great Toy!
After reading a few of these reviews I just had to put one of my own in. You certainly CAN hook the firestation onto the track. One side has the links that you are familiar with, the other side has tiny tounge and groove type links. The fire station hooks on to the tounge and groove and then the other side to the rest of the track. My son loves this train set at 2 1/2 it is hard to keep his attention on something for any length of time. But this train set keeps him occupied for hours on end!!

Very disapointing to a little one
My son is in love with fire trucks, and fire stations....and trains.

He recieved this as a christmas gift, and was disapointed that the train does not run thru it. Yes, you can connect the station to the track, but it is only on one side. IF the train were to run thru it, it could NOT continue its way around the track, because the other side (front of the firestation) has no way to lock a piece of track in. I do not understand how the previous reviewer is locking the pieces in so that her son can run his train thru the station, because even the end pieces do not fit.

But just to play with, my son absolutely loves it.

Yes You Can!
My 3 1/2 year old son got this for Christmas and he just LOVES it! And, contrary to what another reviewer said, you CAN connect the tracks so it runs thru the station, as we do that every time we change the tracks around. These sets are easy for a small child to put together (and they do stay together well) and rather entertaining. I recommend this highly as a first-train for any toddler.

Our Son is Thrilled
Our 3 year old son picked this out to use up a Christmas gift certificate. He got the GeoTrax system just days before. He's thrilled with it. True it doesn't connect directly with the train system. But it shows that on the box. The door rotates around and out son has loved driving the fire engine around and around the "traintable" as he calls it.

Not very pleased!
My son loves trains and we bought him this for christmas to add on to his geotrax train. He was very disappointed that we cannot hook this on to the track to make the train run through the fire station. Very disappointing for a 3 year old! ... Read more

Fun little car
My daughter has loved this car since the day we bought it. The thing that first got her attention were the sounds. She loved to hear the baby laughing and the horn honking. She also liked the "engine" sounds. She loves to just push the car around and even puts the mom in the stroller and acts like it's a car too! It is such a great, fun toy at a super price.

Marvolous Mini Van
This mini van deserves 5 stars overall because I can pretend that it drives anywhere! The grocery bag can make the people go to the grocery store and home if you have the sweet sounds home. The possibilities are endless. It is education valued because it shows safety-for instance: the baby in the carseat. It scored 4 stars on duradility because the trunk came off a few times. Otherwise, I LOVE it!

1 year old Daughter LOVES this toy!!!
Our One Year loves this toy. She started playing with our 4 year old boys cars and so I got this for her to not only be a bigger car to push around but for her to start a collection of Little People...she drags it everywhere and loves the music. She has even packed the figures in the van as to give the whole neighborhood a ride. She somehow figured out that the back door opens and put the baby stroller in and then closed it...I didnt even show her, so it is educational in that it teaches a child all about a car. I would reccomend this item to anyone it is cute and fun and our volume is not too loud as others have said, and I am pretty allergic when it comes to loud noises!

Cute toy!
My one-year-old daughter likes this van, but it's not one of her favorites. She likes to play the music, but that's about it. And it's so loud! I guess it just wasn't her thing!

Cute... but really loud!
This little mini van is very cute, and my 3-year old daughter loves it. Being a music nut, she especially likes to push the button and play the song. I do wish the van had a volume control, though, because it's REALLY loud! This seems to be an issue with a number of Fisher-Price toys, like the Little People Ferris Wheel / Carnival set. The van is also pretty sturdily built, except for the open-able tailgate, which my daughter took off almost immediately. Again, I've had this sort of problem with other Little People toys' doors. This isn't a big deal, and it certainly doesn't affect the toy in any other way. It's also fun to use the mom and baby with other Little People sets, and vice versa. All in all, an above-average toy. ... Read more

A good addition to your little people family
Cute, durable and educational. I really like the fact that there's a male and female of each species. Great for playing with the Noah's Ark set or the Zoo set. Also they're very durable, my daughter loved chewing on them and you couldn't tell it by looking at them now.

More great Little People fun
These animals are a great buy if you are buying the Little Peoples Noah's Ark as your little one can have even more fun role playing with all the different animals.

Each animal is has a difference so you can tell them apart and say one is male and one is female. My children love matching and lining up. They also enjoy all the extra animals for their Little People collection. Our animals have visited the Little People Farm, and riden on the school bus we have.

As with all Little People sets we have found these to be easy to keep clean and extremely durable.

Recommended especially if you have or are buying the Noah's Ark.

Great toy!!!
We bought this toy along with the Little People Noah's Ark for my son for Christmas. He loves this toy. The animals are not too small as he likes to chew on them. He plays with this toy everyday. They are durable!!!

Too Cute!
Educational and fun. My 19 month old daughter loves to play with the alligators especially. And she points out the birds that say "tweet tweet" on the backs of the hippos. Too cute!

The Ark is Complete!
My son just received this set for his birthday, completing the ark. This set is really cute. I gave it a 5 for fun, because it is cute to see all of the animals with the ark. These are just as durable as the other Little People stuff. The don't make any noise and fit into the Ark. If you have the Ark, you have to complete it with the animal sets. ... Read more

Dragons WHOOOO HOOOO!
All right!! My family LOVES this part of the set - we have almost the entire collection (Glow in the dark Pirate stuff we haven't found yet) and this is one of our favorite additions.

We have girls (3) and boys (3) aged from 3 to 37 years. (Mom and Dad play too!) Our toddler loves the dragon, our 2nd grader loves the stone dragon, our 'tweens' love the pieces that add more details (nice rock formations), and Mom & Dad love that everybody can play.

This stuff is sturdy, can be taken apart and made again or combined with the other castle pieces to make a bigger castle or in our case four different battle stations! ... Read more
