Educo Welcome Home Balcony Dollhouse Review

Educo Welcome Home Balcony DollhouseI purchased this dollhouse for my daughter and am exceptionally dissatisfied.I had hoped this would be good quality, non-toxic and fun for her to play with.Within a week to 10 days of playing with this, she developed a burn-like rash on both of her hands.We saw the doctor twice.She was put on daily Benadryl and we had to apply hydrocordisone cream to her hands.The rash did not go away, and continue to get worse until we removed this dollhouse from her playthings.What gives?When the dollhouse arrived, we also discovered that the inner wall was warped.I should have gone with Plan or Ryan's Room.

Sprig Toys Eco - Truck Dump Truck Review

Sprig Toys Eco - Truck Dump TruckI love the wood smell of the eco-plastic used to make the toy and all the simple mechanical features. Our little truck driver loves the big dumping lever and pull-open cab. Durable for sand or snow and was a treat to have reduced packaging, which was only a little tray thingy which recycles quickly.

Haba Pyramid Review

Haba PyramidMy sons are into building things - legos, standard unit blocks and anything they can get their hands on. They do like this set and didn't even need to look at the instructions to build the outside. Because of the odd dimensions of these Haba blocks, they cannot be integrated into other structures and thus put a limit of creativity. If the dimensions are consistent with standard unit blocks, they will get taken out more often to play. Also, this set has just enough blocks to make the pyramid in the picture, so there is no way to close the pyramid's "door". Could be better, but this is the only pyramid blocks we have found...

Haba Dragonstone Castle Review

Haba Dragonstone CastleMy son received this for his first birthday, and we love it! The castle has so many interesting features: a door that opens and closes, a bug and little man that slide along ropes, trees that rustle, a chicken that hides in a pocket, mirrored windows, and one see-through window. The princess and knight will be great for pretend play as my son gets older, and he thinks the dragon is great! He makes a unique rattling noise when shaken, and his head and tail wobble back and forth. My son would have enjoyed this toy earlier than 12 months, and I know it will be played with throughout his toddler years. A fantastic toy for creative play.

***Update: Now my son is almost 3 and we play with this castle frequently. The dragon often chases the princess and knight into their castle; however, when he is feeling nice, the dragon offers them rides on his back. This is a wonderful toy for pretending! My son is developing a fascination with things that verge on "scary" (dragons, ghosts, wolves, dinosaurs), and this toy allows him to create pretend scenarios that explore a slightly darker theme with such happy little characters - so appropriate and not-too-scary for a young preschooler.
