Little girls who love to play house can have their very own place with the Playskool Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage. And with its economical price and lightweight, compact build, parents are sure to be happy. Designed for children ages 3 and up, the Rose Petal Cottage lets kids take imaginative play to a whole new level.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Lovely toy cottage will delight little girls' imaginations, makes a cost-effective choice The Bad: Lightweight construction is very convenient, but it makes for easy tip-over In a Nutshell: Playhouse provides an ideal environment for fun, imaginative play At a Glance Ages: 3 years and up Requires: adult assembly

All of the components require adult assembly. It took us about 1-1/2 hours to complete the job, and although no tools are required, you'll need a little bit of muscle to push the metal posts into the plastic connector pieces to construct the frames. After completing the frames, you next slide the nylon exterior on, which, as we discovered, requires a extra dose of patience. Since it's a tight fit, be careful! The fabric can snag and tear on the metal frame if you pull too hard or too quickly.

Yes, it takes some time and effort to assemble -- but it's well worth it. The Rose Petal Cottage is completely charming. Its cheerily printed exterior sports pretty pastel colors and old-fashioned roses, shutters and shingled-roof details, and a pink, vented chimney. Lace edges the roof and real curtains adorn the mesh-covered windows. The blue, Dutch-style door has a working mail slot, and it secures with two magnetic clasps.

We were delighted with the Cottage's many configuration possibilities: set the two sides apart from each other in any position that's convenient for your home, and your child can play in an "open" space. Push them together in a closed, "one-room" configuration, and your child can enter and exit through the door. Vents in the chimney and the mesh-covered windows ensure good air circulation. She will love having a private place to play and imagine. Two small children can fit easily inside, with room for other toys. And when your child is finished playing, you can slide one side into the other for space-saving storage.

Powered by Imagination
These days it's not easy to find toys that don't blink and beep, which is why we find the Rose Petal Cottage so refreshing. It simply provides beautiful props to fuel your child's creativity without limiting her, leaving play completely up to her imagination -- no batteries required.

The Cottage benefits parents, too: it's less expensive than other child-size houses on the market, plus it stores compactly and, with its lightweight build, is a cinch to move around. However, because of its tent-like build, leaning against the back from the inside will cause it to wobble and even tip completely over if your child is not careful. We suggest making sure the house is set against a wall or sturdy backing during play.

The Cottage comes with a stove, and additional toy appliances, furniture, and other accessories are available separate purchase should your child desire to furnish her cottage further.

Rating : - A 2 year old's dream house
I bought the cottage for my 2 year old daughter. Little did I know that it would be such a big hit, even with my 6 year old!! Although it took almost 1 hour and 45 min to put together, it was well worth it. The metal frame was not difficult to put together, but we did have to bang it on the floor and apply a lot of pressure to get the pieces to fit tightly with the plastic conectors. The most difficult and time consuming part was fitting the canvas over the frames. The girls couldn't wait to get into it, so much so that they were playing with it while we were still trying to put the second half together. The first night that we got it the girls spent and hour and a half playing together, without fighting. Such a great toy that fosters imagination, creativity, and independent play. We bought the sink to go with the stove and this too was a big hit. We did not buy the nursery set because we have the Bitty Baby crib from American Girl that fits nicely in the house, although it does not leave much room for the Bitty changing table when the house is closed. My girls have spent countless hours playing house, tea party, and their favorite game baby and we have only had the cottage for about a week. Super great purchase that I would highly recommend to anyone with a little girl in their life.
