4. My Little Pony Ponyville Teapot Palace PlaysetThis playset is highly appealing, hardwearing, and versatile toy. It is lovable as well with the mailbox and little letter inside so your children can put letters in the box and pretend that the pony has mail then read them. There is a flashing twirling dance floor, a piano that plays music when you hit, it folds out, you can open it up or pack it all away, and best of all it fits in with the other Ponyville stuff. They are all slightly offbeat odd shaped houses and full of lovely little extras to be discovered by the kids. It is interesting to play by 4-8 years old girls.

Buying tips:
Getting these toys out of the box is time consuming. So just put everything back in the box so when opened it is ready to be played with.

Storage tips:
Put the pieces in a small bag and put it inside the toy so that the small pieces will not fall out of the toy when closed.

5. Hasbro Playskool Dream Town Rose Petal CottageThis cottage is simple yet very similar to a doll house type structure and it has amazing details, e.g. the curtains as well as the door open and shut and the oven has working knobs. The only thing I would change about it is to find a way to attach the two pieces together. When my

daughter sits up against the wall and leans back, it tips over with her in it. It would be a little more stable if they attached some how, but it is still a wonderful, adorable little playhouse. Now we just need to get all of the accessories! It can be fun for 3 years and up girls.

3. Mattel Disney Pixars Cars Mack Truck Playset

This playset has a good appeal with the detail Mattel put on this toy and it has proven sturdy though children may play with it fairly rough. However, you need to pay attention on the fragile interior. The good thing is that it can be opened or combined easily if your child has had a Lightning McQueen before. Anyway, you can help your children to explain the functions and the instructions what the stuff s inside do.
