Playtown Wood Family House

Pros: Colorful, cute people
Cons: House not engaging enough

First let me state that we are a Little People family. All of my children have grown up loving these cute little faces, playing with the related houses and vehicles, and creating scenes and stories with their imagination. So we were excited to have the ...

Pros: Fun people figures, compact, no batteries, good for open-ended imaginary play
Cons: More Plastic than wood, stairs fall off, tippy, small

I grew up with the Fisher-Price Little People playsets. I remember these playsets fondly, most memorably the figures themselves many which consisted of round wooden heads on top of spool-like bodies. At some point Fisher-Price 'made the switch' to ...

Pros: wood aspects, cute figures, small scale for toddlers, no batteries, storage space
Cons: no bathroom, single parent bed, lots of plastic, no handle or clasp, somewhat expensive

This summer, my daughter decided she wanted a house for her birthday. Naturally, my husband said we already had a house but I knew what she meant. She wanted a doll house. Every little girl eventually does. So I started researching the options for my ...

Pros: very few toys for this age demographic so it is great to see this addressed
Cons: dangerous with sharp edges, easily caught fingers and choking hazards

When I first heard that the Learning Curve was marketing a playset specifically for the one year and up age group, I was very excited. Once a child gets past infant toys, there's a huge gap between those and all of the age three and up toys with small ...

Pros: Cute, toddler friendly, durable, NO NOISES!
Cons: A little ho-hum to play with

S.M.S. - Save My Stuff! My daughter seems to enjoy using REAL items for make believe; non stick skillets with three tine forks, black magic marker on leather chairs, candy coated Sprees in the new Duets... Lately I’ve been on strike against ...

Pros: Sturdy enough, book, cute people, expandable
Cons: Safety concerns, cost

Jack was 14 1/2 months when we received the Play Town Wood Family House. He is a typical one year old in that his attention span isn't all that long. He has never been attached to a particular toy and frequently changes toys when playing. We received ...

Pros: does spark some imagination
Cons: a little small, could be made better as far as enclosed walls.

I was able to receive the Learning Curve Play Town Wood Family House for free from Learning Curve in exchange for my review, and my family was happy to participate! After receiving the box with the house in it, my kids were so excited to see what was ...

Pros: Mixture of wood and plastic construction. No batteries required. Neat figures included.
Cons: The stairs don't stay attached

When my older son was a toddler he LOVED playing with play houses, as did most of his little male friends, so I never understood why toy manufacturers seem to insist on putting pink all over the doll houses that were available back then! The Fisher ...

Pros: compact in size, great figures, encourages imagination
Cons: tips over easily, not really made of wood, not big enough for cooperative play

When given the opportunity to receive the Learning Curve Play Town Wood Family House in return for an honest review I was very excited. As the mom of two preschool age girls (2 and 4)I thought I would be able to offer an unbiased review from different ...

Pros: retro look and feel, sturdy
Cons: pricy, some may be annoyed by pieces that come apart

I was one of the last (if not THE last Epinion members who received the Learning Curve RC2 Playtown Wood Family House in exchange for posting an honest review. As I saw review after review come in, I'll admit, I wasn't sure if I was going to be ...

Pros: Cute
Cons: Not really made of wood, expensive, comes apart easy

We received this to try from learning curve. They were looking for people to write reviews on it. Since I have four kids, two of which are one year old – I perfectly fit the trial criteria. This came in the mail and initially I was impressed. It is ...
