The Aquadoodle isn't a pool or tub toy, but without water it's no fun at all. It's just a drawing mat after all, but kids will like the novelty of its disappearing colors. The 81 by 53-inch drawing mat is large enough for several kids to doodle on at a time, using the included magic marker pens that do not transfer color to other surfaces (to our knowledge …). Color from the pens appears when water touches the mat; it then fades out without a trace in 60 seconds or so. That's it: no ink, no paint, and no mess.Diane Beall ... Read more

Love it!
I bought this today at target for my 2 year old daughter. We absolutly love it! She can doodle and draw to her hearts content and never run out of paper.....or be told to be careful to not color on the table. It is just water.....no mess what so ever! The drawings took about 2 minutes to completly disappear. What a great invention! Highly recommend!

What a great idea!
I recently bought an Aqua Doodle for my 2 year old nephew, and it was a huge hit! He was immediately drawn to the mat, and understood how to use the pens right away. The best part was that his 3 year old cousin was able to sit with him and they both had a blast. This is a great toy, because there is absolutely no mess.

I would NOT recommend this toy
I am a frequent buyer/reviewer for toys online and I am generally quite happy with them. This toy has a great concept, but I really wasn't thrilled with it. As the other reviewers have stated, it is a great toy...that is, until it's all wet. I found that the manufacturer SAYS, "image disappears in approx. 20 seconds.". This is where they are wrong. My kids LOVED playing with it, until they ran out of room to write stuff. It took so long to dry to become clear again, that I had to bring it in and put my hairdryer to it for an additional FIVE minute to dry it in order to continue using it. And this toy wasn't even drenched, just regular use. The idea of this toy is great, but has a big inconvenience. Maybe when it's a hot day it'll be better....I hope! I bought two, one for my daughter and one for my niece. I'm returning the unopened one.

Happy Mom
This toy is awesome....Hats off to SpinMaster....I saw this toy online a month ago and went to Toys-R-Us to purchase it and they did not carry it yet...I was just there today and was so happy to see it on the shelf....My kids just opened it and they love it....They are 4 and 19 months old and this is something that they can play together and enjoy....My 4 year old loves to trace the alphabet...If anyone has preschool aged kids or younger this toy is a true winner!!!! Definitely worth the money....

Very Special Toy - Highly recommend
This is a WONDERFUL activity toy for children of all ages - even adults! Several kids can play together on the large size mat and it is very neat, easy to store,very educational,provides hours of fun. The unique technology allows for children to draw with water so you never have to clean up or replace any pens etc. The images disappear after a few minutes so you always have a new writing area. I highly recommend this toy to everyone!! ... Read more

favorite toy 7 months later!
I gave this bag to my then 3 year old daughter for Christmas and she was immediately entranced. She carries it around with her everywhere and as it is well-made, it stands up to all the travelling and playing! There is enough room to put other treasures in the bag. Highly recommended for any little girl who wants to "be like Mommy".

Big Fun for a Little Girl!
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday and she loves it! She puts everything in her purse, puts it on her arm and says "Bye!" All the contents are very durable, but the wallet is a little hard for her to figure out with her little fingers. I'm sure she'll get it in time, though! She gives everybody (daddy included!) a "SWIPE" of lipstick - many times even on the lips! Sometimes only on the chin! :)

Not all toys have to be "educational" - sometimes they should just be fun! Little girls like to pretend they're big girls, and this little purse is a great product for little imaginations!

A Little Woman
My 15 month old daughter loved when I gave her this . She always tried to carry my pocketbooks around, so when she got one of her own, she tried to put evrything in it. She especially loves the cell phone. It makes her feel just like mommy

My Daughter Won't Put It Down!!!
My daughter just got this for her 2nd birthday a week ago and out of all the toys she received, she will not put this one down. She has a hard time although opening the small plastic purple case that holds the fake credit card and that can sometimes cause a problem. Would highly recommend for a little girl who is constantly "stealing" mommy's purse, keys and cell phone! Thanks...I can finally have mine back!!!

I'm going shopping!
My daughter rec'd this purse for her 2nd Christmas when she was 15 months. She is now 2 1/2 years and still LOVES it! I babysit children during the day and they all play with it constantly. My daughter will take it, her keys, and put her sunglasses on and say "Bye! I'm going to Walmart, buy sissie more diapers!" What imagination! ... Read more

Editorial Review

"Sunsparkle" Pony's Celebration Castle requires basic construction, but putting it together with a grownup will be a fun adventure, as Pony lovers see the charming structure taking form. Once finished, "Sunsparkle" (an included and somewhat rare Pony) can happily trot around her master bedroom, vanity room, disco, kitchen, and a bathroom. Each room features furnishings or appliances that have clever innovations, such as a stove that doubles as a kitchen sink. There's also a working elevator, full-length mirror, hot air balloon, two balconies, tableware, Pony clothing, and a brush for "Sunsparkle's" mane. As a gift, a sparkling pink, child-sized crown is included. To top it all off, the castle features charming music and flashing lights on the disco dance floor! Required: 3, 1.5-volt "AA" batteries.Diane Beall ... Read more

Fun for kids...not for parent
My 4 y.o. absolutely loves this castle. Yes, the 2 pink "turrets" that hold the crown and balloon merely set on top of the castle and do fall off (double side tape or velcro fixes this), and the pink curtain/shelf above the yellow stairs falls off with little pressure. But my daughter doesn't seem to mind. I haven't really had any other problems other than what I've mentioned. If you are giving it as a gift, I would suggest putting it together before hand as there are DOZENS of small star and heart stickers that took me forever to apply. Otherwise, I just have to keep reminding myself who this toy is really for.....my child who seems to love it despite its flaws.

not worth the money or time
My daughter just turned 4 and loves my little Ponies. She got this as a gift (despite the reviews) and hasn't played with it since we put it together, which was time consuming oh and the stickers, c'mon why aren't they prelabeled? She takes her ponies and plays with them in her durable doll house.
Something on this castle falls apart as soon as you touch it. It's a cute idea, just very poorly made.

This toy is crap!
My 3 yo has been dying for this castle for her ponies...we used it as major bribe for potty training...We opened up and went through the nightmarish installation process...could you add any more stickers? But the worst part is that the whole thing falls apart constantly! The stupid balloon landing turrets on the top have NO attachment so they fall off when you barely bump it or try to play...the elevator sticks...the frames around the windows fall off...the balloon falls apart...the front walkway and back staircase fall off...the spinning dance floor covers up the door music heart so you cannot operate the music with the dance floor on...the dance floor does not work in the turrets as stated since it is just too awkward to spin...the crown will not stay together...I should have read the reviews on toysrus.com before buying it since any were bad, but I never dreamed it would be so bad...Does Hasbro care nothing about who they are creating these toys for? My daughter loves her ponies and I have had fun collecting them for her...it is sad that the castle is such a disgrace...but my Daughter is happy to have it, would cry if I returned it and I guess I will have to glue down as many of the pieces as I can...(...)

This Toy is tons of Fun for Pony Lovers
Okay I have read all the other reviews, and much of it is true, it was a pain to put on all the stickers, the elevator doesn't move very well, and you are better off if you glue on some of the pieces, and definitely pitch the crown thing. But all that being said, I am so glad that Santa brought this for my daughter. She is still playing with it almost daily. And nothing has broken either. Yes some things needed to be glued on to stay but big deal, they didn't break they just came off and after a little super glue they are fine. The castle is so much fun, the way it plays music and lights up when a pony crosses the entrance is great. And I think the baby pony was the highlight of Christmas for my daughter. So my point is, yes it is a bit of a pain to set up for parents, but not as bad as some make it sound and it is worht it. Also save your pony-points (www.mylittlepony.com) and send for the mat of Ponyville. It has a spot for the castle, the cafe and the salon, it is really cute. We have the whole thing set up on her playtable (a train table basically)

Pony Castle Fun but work!
We bought this for our daughter for Christmas shortly after her 3rd birthday. Assembly was a nightmare, there must be a million stickers to put on. The water fountain/pool that goes under the bridge falls off constantly as do all the other little parts that are not permanently attached. I think they do this so you can fold it away but even with the parts detached it doesn't fold well. The upper parts for the crown and hot air baloon come off at the slightest jerk of a young child playing which makes our daughter a little upset when she has a plan for the ponies to fly off in the baloon and the pieces have fallen on the floor several times. The crown is completely unusable, it doesn't fit well on the castle and comes apart when worn.
All in all though, this has been a huge hit with my daughter who has nearly EVERY pony. She plays with it often and we got the "map" of ponyville (available through the mfg with "pony points") which shows where the castle, salon and cafe are to go and we play ponies for hours. It's great for imagination and pretend play. ... Read more

Very cute pony !!
My daughter got this pony for her birthday and she loves it ! It is very cute , eats, hiccups , etc. The only negative thing I would say about the product is that the Velcro that holds the "carrier" behind the neck is too small and it will not stay on. She has to hold it up or carry it around. It really needs a bigger piece of Velcro to support the weight of the pony !!

Pony Love
My daughter got this for her 4th birthday and it is her favorite present. The only trouble we have is the carrier won't stay on, unless she holds the pony with her arms too. That doesn't bother her, though and she loves to brush her hair and feed her the bottle and listen to her cute giggle. What a great toy! My little girl doesn't like baby dolls yet, but loves to baby her stuffed animals and this is perfect for her. Defenitely a good choice for a (...) gift.

Gotta Get This One!! ADORABLE!!
I wasn't expecting to like this toy when I read about it, but it is ADORABLE! My daughter (almost 6) has never been into baby dolls, but she loves ponies. This is a fantastic combination of the two--a baby-doll AND a pony to love. She has taken her everywhere since she got her--everywhere. She tucks her in each night, and buckles her into a seat belt in the car.
*The baby pony sucks her bottle (or your finger), makes cute little coos, burps, sighs, etc.
*The volume is just right, unlike many toys
*She turns herself on and off with activity or lack of--she goes dormant after a short while of inactivity, but re-awakens as soon as she is "loved" again.
**comes with batteries already installed and only has 3 twist ties to get her out of the box! NO CHAIN SAW REQUIRED!!!
Take her out of the box, and she's ready to play!
Definitely worth every penny!

So Soft, So Sweet...A Beautiful New Baby In PonyLand! :)
This absolutely adorable baby pony is the newest (and certainly the cutest!) pony in PonyLand! Rose Blossom (and her equally sweet and adorable sister, Petal Dove, the purple version of this So Soft Pony) is a cuddly soft baby pony that is big enough for your little one to snuggle with!

Rose Blossom is a sweet, pink, snuggly baby pony who needs lots of love and nurturing from your little "pony mom!" Your little one will love changing Rose Blossom's diaper, carrying her everywhere in the included soft baby carrier, feeding Rose Blossom her bottle, and brushing Rose Blossom's silky, shiny mane and tail! :)

This darling pony makes lots of sweet baby sounds...she yawns when you lay her down; she giggles and coos when you gently press her hoof, and she makes slurping sounds when you feed her a bottle. :) She is soft, safe, and durable...the perfect "baby" for your pony-loving little girl! :) I predict that sweet little Rose Blossom will become many, many little girls' "best friend!" :) What a sweet, fun, and innocent toy...your little girl will fall in love with Rose Blossom as soon as she holds this soft baby pony in her arms! :)

I am a thirty-something toy collector and an avid MLP collector...these So Soft Ponies have been flying off the shelves at my local Toys-R-Us! :) I can not find a flaw with these adorable baby ponies!! :) I highly recommend Rose Blossom as an ideal toy for any little girl who loves ponies, loves dolls, and/or enjoys nurturing play...a definite 5-star favorite!!!!! :) :) ...

All good friends need is an excuse to get together, right? The My Little Pony "Best Friends Ball" playset makes it easy for Ponies to share tales, and shake their tails--the equine way! Twinkle Twirl owns the place, and has plenty of space for at least 3 other Pony party-goers. The play set features a dressing room with an elaborate little vanity; a dessert table with a pop-up cake and lots of accessories; a moving dance floor with lights and sounds; and a romantic balcony in front of a large picture window, presumably for posing or pony-watching. After the event, the studio folds up into an easy-to-carry case with a handle, for taking the party on the road. Requires 3 "AA" batteries. Choking hazard: small pieces included. Diane Beall ...

Very cute item...my 5 yr old loves it!~
My five year old got this for her birthday this year and still plays with it regularly after four months. Her little friends still love to come over and play with the My Little Pony Dance Studio as well. In the world of toys, this is un heard of! (HA!) One thing that is a con on this toy is the fact that it does fall apart easily but it is just as easily put back together.

Buy this instead of the castle
Based on the castle reviews, I am really glad my little girl got this instead of the class. It can fall appart pretty easy
, but the parts are easy to put back on. It folds up neatly and you can squueze about 5 more ponies in once it's closed. A few cute, but very small parts (glasses, cake). It's loud, the dance floor spins, and lights up, so my 3 year old loves it. It's cheaply made, but she loves it. And, it's a great travel toy.

Finally, a pony playset of good quality!
This awesome dance studio is definately five stars! (It's much better made than that castle, and is ten dollars less.) Getting it out of the package and ready to play, complete with the nessescary three triple A batteries, took us less than ten minutes.
The studio folds up into a case complete with a handle for traveling, and opens into a huge ball room with revolving dance floor. When you press a button, lights flash and one of three songs play. A pony can stand on each of the three colorful wheels, one of which spins on its own.
Ponies can practice in the rehearsal studio, which includes a barre, a vanity, and a screen for changing. The vanity drawers pop open and posters of the various inhabitants of Ponyville dancing plaster the walls.
On the opposite side of the studio, ponies can snack on one of five delicious treats, have some punch, or watch the performance from a balcony.
We appreciated the better quality and play value of this playset, and hope you will too!

MLP dance studio- GREAT BUY!
My step-daughter loves this toy! I pre-ordered this item and recieved yesterday and she's been playing with it since, non-stop. It plays music, and seems pretty durable. We accidently pushed the window out but it popped right back in place. It's very cute and the she loves wacthing the MLP's dance around the turn tables on it. There's nothing educational about though, just fun for the girls. And it comes with 16 pony points, if your interested in that. I deffinetly recommend this for all MLP fans. ... Read more

Polly doesn't need to hop around town to fill her day with fun. Her way to "vaca" is to do it all in one place. This set allows Polly and her best buds (buds not included) to shop, sleep, and play at one cool "resort", thanks to detailed rooms to be filled with 45 different pieces of furniture, accessories, and clothes. In one doll-day, Polly can hang at the hotel, catch some rays in a hot tub, eat great pizza and cuisine, charge out her credit cards at fancy shops, or catch at thrill on the amusement park's real, 8-inch diameter Ferris wheel. Choking hazard: many small pieces included. Diane Beall ... Read more

Editorial Review

Often the best way to get the housework done is to have your children working by your side.When it's time to vacuum, preschoolers can use this toy Hoover right alongside an adult using a realvacuum cleaner. Sized for preschoolers, the navy and black, hard plastic vacuum stands 26.25 inches highand has adjustable levers in front, working lights, and a realistic motor sound. There's a flexible black hoseon one side and three yellow plastic attachments inside a storage compartment with a clear door. Thoughthe Hoover is fairly sturdy, the door isn't the most durable part of it; after a while it may begin to fall open,making the attachments fall on the floor. There's also a removable cloth dust bag inside, although thesuction action is so slight that very little dirt is actually collected. Four C batteries are required (notincluded). --Marcie Bovetz ...

A hit for little helpers
My son turned two almost two months ago, and while this toy is recommended for ages 3-6, I think it can be appropriate for some two year olds as well.

My son decided about a month ago that he wanted to assist his daddy and brothers with the vacuuming, and he'd grab the handle along with them and "help." So after some consideration, I got him this toy.

It arrived today, and as soon as I got the batteries in it, my son was off and running. He used it for an hour and a half straight, and his little head was all sweaty from "working" so hard! It was very cute.

My only suggestion is that you leave on the tape holding the accessories door on. If they don't want to play with them, these just fall out and get to be a real annoyance.

Since we have only had the toy today, I can't say how long it will last, but for now it's a HUGE hit.

Wonderful Toy
We bought this vacuum for our 14 month-old son who was so afraid of the real vacuum that just bringing it out of the broom closet resulted in pointing and sounds of concern. Actually running the real vacuum resulted in tears and screaming. However, after inital concern and positive reinforcement (kisses, 'yeah, it's your own vacuum', and cuddles) by us, our son is now keen on using his own vacuum as well as less concered about the real thing. He loves to open/close the cover on his vacuum, take out the on-board tools and put them on/off the hose attachment, and push the vacuum around making vacuum sounds ('brrrr'). We're thrilled with the realistic appearance of this toy. The only concern is that the cover for the on-board tools is not very securly attached and often requires a parent's assistance to put it back on. Overall, this is a fantastic toy with numerous fun and developmental opportunities.

Best Toy Investment I EVER Made!!!
I decided to purchase a toy vacuum for my son two years ago when he almost pushed mine down the stairs. I had no idea that he would enjoy it so much! Like I said, I purchased this two years ago, and he plays with it to this day. During the first three or four weeks he would not leave the house without it, and thankfully the obsession slowly wore off. Now, he takes it out when I vacuum and follows behind me. This vacuum has also gone down the stairs about a hundred times and still keeps on going! I have not changed the battery for the motor sounds and it still works, but occasionally it will cut out, but only after extended use. This is probably an indicator that the battery should be changed, but I refuse to until it stops working all together! After two years of hard use I would have to say that this has held up well. The hose did break in a minor way and I was able to fix it, but when it did it again, I just took it off. (He never used that part anyway.) BOY OR GIRL I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ITEM. I think it is a great way to teach good cleaning habits and an even better way to give yourself a break and relax for awhile! A+++++++

Vacum Freak
My kid (21 Months) is just obssessed with Vacums and he has been like that for a while, he would take vacum parts from our regular vacum and play with them and throw a fit when we would take it away. Recently he was at someones house and he took over the toy vacum and wouldn't let it go, so thats when i decided to get him this Hoover, and he is just obssessed with it.

I wonder what it is that makes these kids obssessed with Vacums ?
I wonder if there is any research out there or someone can look into this further.

If your child loves when you vacuum, get this toy!
I bought this toy vacuum for my 17 month old son who always loved it when we would vacuum. When the toy arrived in the mail, my son played with it nonstop for over an hour. We had to hide it so he would come in and eat dinner! He loves playing with his vacuum and there's nothing cuter than watching him vacuum the rugs in our house with this realistic looking mini Hoover! I have only two minor complaints about this item. First, the "filter" on the side keeps unlatching, but it's really just a minor issue and doesn't affect the fun of this toy one bit! Also, the vacuum often locks in the upright position and my son can't unlock it, becuase he is too young to figure out the release. But this toy is recommened for a child a bit older, and that is probably why. Nonetheless, he still loves this vacuum. ... Read more

Wonderful for girls or boys!
I have a 2 year-old toddler boy who normally loves to push things around...anything from chairs, tables, big strollers, to even the strollers for dolls whenever he's at the toy stores. So, I found this to be a great toy for him that he would love.

told you
i wrotea review for the summit fruit basket about that fruit being a runner up! this is a 90's classic and i love it.

Durable, practical, excellent for pretend play!
Six months ago for Christmas, I had purchased a pretend play farmer's market for my almost 2-year-old daughter. However, upon the purchase, I realized that she would enjoy the experience much more if she had a shopping cart to go with it. After perusing over the products available at the local toy store, I chose this. Not only did it look more durable than the other carts, but it also was more pleasing to the eye. A bonus feature I found was it has a "seat" up front to put her teddy bear or doll in (none of the others had this feature), just like when going to the grocery store with Mommy!

To this day, this shopping cart is one of her most used toys, and it doesn't show any signs of falling apart anytime soon. In addition, it was also one of the easiest "assembly required" toys I have had to put together (by myself, no less). I am so thankful I found this product!

Emma's Grandma
Emma got this toy at 12 months. She is now 19 months old and likes to walk around the house and "shop" with it while picking up her toys. It's even sturdy enough to give her a "ride" in it.

Great toy but one safety hazard
This is a wonderful toy. My daughter, who is 12 months old, has had this toy for four months and has never tired of it. She loves to push it around and fill it up with her toys. It's also great for when kids are first walking since it has no sharp edges. There is only one safety issue: the toy comes with plastic play money -- dollars and coins. The dollars are fine, but the coins are a chokable hazard. Although they seem too large (which is why I didn't immediately throw them out), my daughter was able to get one lodged sideways in the back of her mouth and choked. If a family friend hadn't noticed, I'm afraid of what would have happened to my daughter. I happened to have the video tape on and was in the other room when it happened. When I play back the video tape, I'm horrified. My daughter clearly picks up the coin, inserts it in her mouth, then begins to choke and gag. Other than that, this is a truly great toy. Three of my friends have it and also love it. However, we have all thrown out the yellow plastic coins.

Update to this review: I received a call from a representative at Little Tikes who was concerned about the possible choking/gagging hazard from the plastic coins that come with this toy. The rep said that they take safety concerns like this very seriously, and she's forwarding notes from our conversation to the design engineers at Little Tikes. I am very impressed with Little Tikes and believe that they're a caring company. The rep did mention one thing: this toy is for kids 24 months and older. I got it when my daughter was first walking (at 9 months), which might explain why the plastic coins posed more of a hazard than they might normally for the appropriate age range. However, since my daughter is tall and has loved the shopping cart from day one, I would still purchase it when I did. I would just throw out the plastic coins. I believe that Little Tikes is a wonderful company with equally great products, which is why so many of the toys I buy are made by them. ... Read more

We love it!
I'm sorry so many have had trouble with this toy.My daughters love it.They are 7 & 9 and after some practice they had it going right every time.You cannot shove Polly in the dressing room or yank her out.The clothes WILL fall off.We will buy more Polly Quik-Cliks.This is a really neat toy!

WOAH.....
WOW...everyone here is brutal while reviewing this playset-I completely disagree-I had none of the problems everyone else had here-all the clothes clicked immediately on Polly when she gets slipped into the changing room-comes out of the curtain no problem too-I think it is a very creative idea with the magnetic doll and the clothes-none of the magnets fell off, the clothes had no problem staying on the clothes applicator....nope no complaint here(and believe me I have no problem complaining about mismanufactured toys- just check out my other reviews)

I would suggest to the previous reviewers here with all their problems to call the manufacturer personally. I once had a missing piece to a Polly playset- I called them and they sent me a coupon for $10.00 off any Mattel toy. Either look on the back of the toy or on the instruction sheet to get the 800 telephone number. It sounds to me that it may be a manufactures defect in some of the products everyone in the review section had-might have been the first ones off the assembly line. I guarantee that Mattel would treat you well...they would rather send you a measly $5.00-$10.00 coupon rather than to lose your business which brings them billions of bucks a year.....YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST GUYS!!!!!

Totally Coolto play with
My daughter got this for Easter and we all love it!!!I read the other reviews and Im sorry theirs dont work properly, but ours works just like its supposed to.

It is enginered so that you can only put the clothes on the thing one way....so that the front will always be in front, ect.
So if they fall off, you know you put it on wrong.And then you lower the shute slowly and push Polly into the dressing room slowly till you hear a "click".That click is the clothes "jumping" onto the doll!!!!It is so Cool to watch!!!

We took this to Grandmas house to show her and all the adults sat and played with it for hours.....our only disappointement was that we only had one Click-it Polly to play with!!!!But the regular polly's got to be the store owner, so we still got to play with them!

This is probably the coolest Polly product out there.And we will definetly be buying more of the 'click-it' products to go with it.

It doesn't work as described!
We received this as a birthday gift. The "dressing room" is supposed to place the clothes on the doll but, in practice, it doesn't work. First, the plastic clothes are difficult to place in the holders when the clothing applicator is in the top position. Second, the clothes don't stick to the "applicator" - they fall off as you lower them into the chute and end up wedged into the bottom. Third, when you slide Polly into the dressing room, she gets hung up on the "curtains" and it takes 2 hands - one holding the slider and one to lift the curtain out of the way. Fourth, any clothes that DO stick to the applicator all the way down to reach the doll don't end up on the doll. The applicator didn't close enough to attach the magnetic clothes. There is a 1/2 - 3/4 inche gap between the clothes and the doll.

It's just easier to manually dress Polly without the silly "magic dressing room".

The clothes are the magnetic version of Polly Pockets. I personally prefer the older rubberized clothes that stretch to fit. I've not been impressed with Polly Pockets in general as the non-clothing accessories don't seem to work as described (cars, carrying cases, etc.)

All the itty bitty teeny weensy pieces are destined to get lost almost immediately or sucked up by the vacuum cleaner. But, that's true for all Polly Pockets. Don't buy any Polly Pockets if you have children under the age of 3 around. They are bound to end up choking on piece or shoving a tiny shoe up an orifice.

We advised the gifter not to purchase this in the future as it just doesn't work! We exhanged this toy for a Fairytopia Barbie.

DisappointedMom
We bought this toy today and it's terrible.It does not work as advertised.You place the clothes on the "loader" and put the doll in the "dressing room".However, when you push down on the plunger to dress the doll, no matter how slow you go, the back of the doll is too close to the clothes and it knocks them off, while the front of the doll is nowhere near close enough to touch the doll.Very bad design....this is the worst Polly Pocket toy ever (and we have bought a few!) ...

CEEEWWWWWTTT!
I collect MLP's, and this one was no exception. One thing I have to say is that this pony is such a little cutie! As a child, I was never much into human baby dolls. Too bad toy companies didn't come out with things like this when I was younger.

Petal Dove is a really cute baby pony. Press the heart on her hoof, and she giggles. If you give her the bottle (or stick your finger in her mouth), she makes slurping noises. When you remove the bottle (or finger), she hiccups, and then she yawns a few seconds later, and turns herself off. You can start her up again by feeding her, or pushing the heart on her hoof.

My sister, (who's older than me by the way) can't seem to get enough of playing with her when she gets a chance. But there's one thing I don't like about this toy. I LOVE the yawning sound effect she makes, but she only makes it after you feed her. There's nothing you can do to get her to yawn, except if you feed her.

But on the plus side, she's just so goshdarn cute! ... Read more

25 Month Old Loves It
My 25 month old daughter loves this toy. If you are a parent who plays with their child, you will too. This is a poor choice of toy to just hand to a child; it requires interactive play, at least initially. The case is a bit fragile, though. A small purse/bag works just as well as a substitute doctor's bag.

Good set
My twins just received this for their second birthday. So far, it's a huge hit! We are not having any problem fitting all the items into the bag. The blood pressure cuff doesn't stay together too well, but everything else is great. The boys have had great fun "fixing" both of their parents and themselves.

It's a pretty basic set, but it seems great for their age and skill levels. If you have an "under 3" and are looking for a medical playset, I'd definitely recommend this one.

interesting search engine
I am interested in the Fisher-Price Medical Kit that ToysRUs sells, but searches under "Medical Kit" or "medical" or "kit" only send you to this more expensive less interesting toy. The Fisher-Price web site sends you to this web site but once you are here you are encoraged to buy something else. Interesting search engine. The stars are for review submission purposes only.

2.5 Year old loves it but falling apart
Purchased in part b/c reviews suggested it was the sturdiest of the bunch. Neighbor has the alternative blue case and accessories.

My 2.5YO daughter loves this but cramming all the pieces into the case has finally broken the latch beyond repair. The toys are reasonably sturdy but the stethoscope doesn't fit ears well-she just wears it around her neck. (The other child's doctor kit actually transmits some amplified sounds but no electronic sound effects of coughing and thump-thump). The blood pressure unit doesn't go or stay on very well and falls apart. (But after quite a few tries re-assembling it has become part of the game).

Double the price but not double the quality of the blue one.

Great Kit!
My 3 yr old son just loves this kit, I shopped around for one with the best gadgets, and this one is very nice. The stethoscope is a little hard to keep on the ears, and it has to be packed just so to get the case to close, but I think it is definately a good purchase. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Toddlers who spend a lot of time on a ride-on vehicle will delight in having this play gas pump for additional role-playing. The pump and nozzle are made of safe, lightweight plastic with a flexible rubber hose for "filling up" little vehicles. A pretend credit-card swipe area with keypad makes the pump look a lot like the one Mommy and Daddy use at the real gas station. The pump also makes six electronic sounds when any of the three large push-buttons are pressed--two car start-up noises, two fueling noises, and two car horn sounds. The pump operates on two AA batteries (not included) and is ideal when paired with Little Tikes's popular Cozy Coupe II car. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Needs twicking to stabalize toy.
This is a fun thought for the coupe cars. However, upon opening the box, I was very disappointed, I expected more. The toy would be better if the bottom was weighted so that the pump does not tip over everytime. I thought the price did not justify the toy. The value was not there, (...) dollars for a toy that needs to be twicked by adults to be of use to the child does not warrant the price tag, (...) However, after drilling a small hole in the top and filling the pump with sand until the toy is stable then voila!!!! It becomes a fun toy, even if the pump is difficult for a toddler to insert into car gas tank.

The nozzle broke almost immediately
This seems like a really great toy for those little ones who just love cars and other vehicles, and my 4-yer-old son did love it and use it right away, but after a few days of use the nozzle broke. He must have inserted it back in too hard and when he tried to pull it out again the long part of the nozzle separated from the rest of the toy. If you do decide to buy it, be gentle with it!

Nice thought...
When I spotted this adorable gas pump, I thought that it would make the perfect addition to my son's toy collection. He played with it for the first 5 minutes and then put it to the side. Twice in two years, he has pulled it around the house by the handle, but done nothing else with it. It's not very stimulating, and is a space hog for something that is only collecting dust. Nice thought, but not a real investment.

Great accessory for all those cars!
My son received this gas pumper with his cozy coupe police car and loves to fill er up on his own. He loves to watch me pump gas at the gas station and this makes him feel like a big boy when he can do it to his own car. We have 2 cozy coupes so he pretends to be the gas attendant while my daughter is driving and also tops his own tank off before taking off in his police car. The noises and real acting buttons give this toy the extra + over just a piece of plastic so he really feels that it is doing something and interacting with his imaginative play.

The kids love it!
My daughter and my neice love their "gas station."!!

It helps the kids take turns in their car because they can realize that once around the yard and they'll "need gas", and that's when it's time to switch over.

Get them a little cash register and you'll have a full blown gas station in your own back yard! ... Read more

Really great play food
This is a really great set of play food. All made from wood and seems like it will last forever. We've had ours for about a year now and the paint hasn't even chipped. My son does play with this food almost every day. One minor down side is that my son would like the "boxes" to open. Since the picture isn't too clear the crate come with salt, mustard, ketchup, pasta, rice, soup, ice cream, orange juice, sugar, cereal, pretzels, and waffles.

We love it
My 2 y/o daughter loves playing with this food set. She uses it in multiple ways: learning and recognizing each food product, food play, and creatively using them as building blocks. ... Read more

Broke after 3 months
My 11 month old received this phone as a gift, and he loved it, but it broke 3 months later -- it no longer makes any noise. I contacted the company, and their only response to my e-mail was an automated reply telling me where to buy their products. I'm very disappointed with this product and this company and do not plan on purchasing from them again.

Love this cell phone
My 11-month old daughter loves her father's cell phone, so we bought this mobile phone for her for Christmas. At 11 months nothing really holds her attention for very long, but she really liked pushing the buttons, making the wheel spin by sliding the ladybug, and she really loves opening and closing it. She likes hearing the short recorded messages we make. I've read reviews of other toy phones that said the sound effects were too quiet to hear, which is not a problem with this phone. The sounds are clear and loud enough to hear without being too loud. Overall my daughter likes this toy and it keeps her away from her Daddy's cell phone.

Just like daddy's
This is a great little toy cell phone. It has a clip on the back, just like daddy's, so my little guy can clip his on just like his daddy does. It rings and talks when the buttons are pressed and you can record and playback a message on it. My little guy loves to record "I love you Mommy and Daddy" on it and play it back for us repeatedly. He also loves that it is a flip phone, again, just like daddy's. ... Read more
