Product Features:

  • Four different walls with play features
  • Sports wall with ball, Schoolhouse/Firehouse with table and chalkboard
  • Gas Sataion wall includes a gas pumper
  • Grocer Store/Bank wall has a drive up window

This playhouse has so many different themes to play with that your kids will have years of interesting role play to try out. With an “around the town” theme, four different themes play themselves out on the four different walls of the playhouse, and even those can be flexible! The interior walls have even more details in molded plastic, including a kitchenette, workshop and bank. Seven game ideas are included for the “sports” theme wall. Measures 55″L x 48.8″W x 58″H when complete. Adult supervision required.

Okay, I have seen playhouses come and go, but this is by far the best one I’ve ever seen!Kids love to role play and this playhouse has limitless opportunities for interactive role-playing! Each wall of this playhouse has a different theme: One side is a schoolhouse/firehouse wall (they give you decals to make it either or), one side is a gas station complete with gas pumper and crawl through tire tunnel, one side is a sports wall which comes with a basketball hoop, soccer net, 4 targets and a sports ball (what a deal!) and the last wall is a grocery store wall with a pretend ATM/bank, too! My child loves to pretend to play school one minute and then the next thing you know he is over on the other side of the playhouse pretending that he is out for recess at the sports wall. This playhouse is seriously loaded with features! I couldn’t find a better value for my money! You would be depriving your child of their imagination if you didn’t get this playhouse! Plus the inside is loaded with features as well. There isn’t enough room for me to go on about all of the wonderful features!

We bought this for our 2 year old son as a Christmas Gift. We can’t wait to see the look on his face in a few days. It’s very solid construction and should stand up to years of use. The walls have different shapes/objects molded into them, some of it quite detailed, but it’s all the same color. So my wife and I purchased some plastic paints at a local craft store and painted some of the objects on the walls to add more detail and realism. It was cheap and and easy, and the results speak for themselves. We painted the fruit on the store wall, along with the ATM etc. On the inside my wife painted the globe, the books, the tools hanging on the wall, along with the bank safe and the tire. It looks very cool now. This house doesn’t have any sound effects or lighting, so I purchased a wireless doorbell and battery operated light at Home Depot. The total cost for the paints and electronincs was and was easy to do. Rather than spending the extra 0 for more detail and electronics, this was a very cost effective and fun way to make the house even better. I think my son is going to love it. I’ll post pictures when I get time.

I have a 5yr old son, 3yr old daughter and 1yr old twins. They all LOVE this playhouse. It is not too girly because of the sports stuff. It is not to boyish because it is a playhouse. The babies love to crawl in and out the openings. It is fun for all 4 kids of all ages. This is a great way to go if you have boys and girls.

We have had the Take-A-Part Airplane (and Take-A-Part Crane Truck) for over 4 years. They are both very durable and fun for kids of many ages. My oldest son got them when he was 3 years old. He loved to take them apart and put them together (with help) and he played with them alot once they were together. At 7, he can put them together himself and he still plays with them on occasion.

My younger son started playing with them when he was two. He does the same thing…loves to take them apart and put them back together with help. He also plays with them alot once they are together, even to the point of throwing the plane through the air, so it could fly. :-) After his first attempt, we didn’t let him do that, but it didn’t hurt the toy at all. It is very strong and durable.

I highly recommend these toys because they are very durable and extremely entertaining. In addition, each of them come in their own durable plastic boxes which contain all the parts when they are not being played with. After 4 years and an across country move, we did lose two small parts. I called the manufacturer and they sent me the two parts free of charge. You can’t ask for better service.

Oh, how my son loves this toy. He insists on bringing the drill with him to preschool, the supermarket, etc. and “fixes” things everywhere he goes.

The airplane itself is great and lots of fun to take apart and reassemble.

If you have a child who is mechanically inclined, this is an outstanding toy for him/her.

PS. Unlike the other reviewer, we have not had a problem with the drill; it has endured lots of abuse and still works OK.

We got this gift for our 2.5 year old and he learned how to use the drill very quickly. Since then we have given it numerous times for 3 year old birthday gifts and have gotten rave reviews!!! The only thing to note is that kids will use it to drill body parts, furniture, etc – but the drill is not strong enough to be anything but annoying. Overall, this one is a real winner!

Marky Sparky Blast Pad Advanced Missile Launch System

August 13th, 2010 admin No comments

Product Features:

  • All parts store neatly into the base
  • Launch tube extents to 31″ tall
  • New missile design allows them to fly higher than ever
  • Works on “kid” power
  • Great gift for both boys and girls

Incredibly smart missile technology. Combined with Blast Pad missiles, the moon is now in reach! The launch tube extends to almost 3 feet and the flex tube won’t kink to restrict airflow. Thoughtfully designed to only blast in the vertical position (9 degrees either way). All the parts store neatly into the base so it travels great with no extra parts to lose.

I bought 3 of these type rockets for my child’s 4th birthday party, and this one is by far the most durable and easiest to use. My kid is small but was still able to easily make the rocket shoot into the air. The housing is made of durable hard plastic rather than foam rubber which is easily smashed. Of the three we bought, this was the only one left intact after 30 children swarmed all over them.

I just got back from the park with my 5 year old where we played with this stomp rocket toy that another family brought to the park. Nearly all the kids wanted to play with it and stood in line to stomp the rocket into the air.

These rockets go very high, but are light and come back to the ground softly.

I am buying one for my son’s upcoming birthday. This is a must have toy that creates a crowd!

I have bought other stomp rockets before and they simply did not work unless they were perfectly positioned. This toy is wonderful. My daughter who is going to turn 4 soon loved this toy. She can jump on it herself and that is something because she has a hard time jumping. It is good for the little ones to learn how to jump and balance. They can put the rockets on themselves and then they run to go get them. Kids get plenty of exercise. While one is running after a rocket, the next kid is putting one on. Wonderful because parent need not be there to operate. Excellent for a wide age range. Adults like stomping too!!
