PlanToys Playground Right now


We got this on clearance at a little local toy store. We were excited to see it on sale because it was on our daughter's wish list here. The pieces are supposed to snap together and stay that way. A few did, but there is one connector that won't stay and one that NEVER went in. We even went as far as trying hammers and pliers to try to squeeze it in. We really should have taken it back, but instead we sort of prop it up against her doll house. Not a great solution, but at least the sandbox and teeter-totter are usable.Get more detail about PlanToys Playground.

Lowest Price Badger Toys Doll Highchair with Plate, Bib, and Spoon


This highchair is not well made. The screw holding the tray in place will not stay in, the pink plate/dish arrived all melted and brown (appears to be a defective piece--yuck), and I'm very disappointed! It appears as though the quality control is lacking. The gross looking pink dish should have never made it into the box. I'm sure I can contact the company for a replacement. Who has time to call companies and tell them they are screwing up all the time? It seems like the more we move manufacturing to other countries, the more problems with have with quality. Let's go back to making durable goods with pride in the USA. Even though as a parent I am very disappointed, my daughter has fun playing with it.Get more detail about Badger Toys Doll Highchair with Plate, Bib, and Spoon.

Save 8" Veterinarian Lauren with Vet Kit 


My five-year old granddaughter was delighted with this on Christmas day. I ordered the slumber set (with a horse) also and my granddaughter immediately engaged in imaginative play. We also gave her some plastic pioneer figures, which included a small brown snake. She had the snake bite the horse on the leg and then had the vet tend to it with the miniscule bandage (included). I supplied surgical tape. All in all, I think my granddaughter had a very rewarding experience and I expect many hours of creative play. This is, though, an inexpensive toy and I do not expect that it will last a very long time.Get more detail about 8" Veterinarian Lauren with Vet Kit .
