Comments from testers
Katarzyna, mother of Natalia (1,4 months)
The toy is great. Made very neatly. We keep it on a small table at the height of our daughter's eyes, she dropped it from there many times, moved it - the toy is whole, nothing has fallen off, nothing has broken off. The colors are very nice. Most importantly, my daughter loves to play with the house. I thought it would be too small for him, and she moves the figures around the floors, puts them on the bed or in the bathtub. The favorite part of the toy are the melodies that he turns on every now and then and laughs to them (they are parent-friendly - I can't get enough of them even after 2 months of listening).
Beata, mother of Liliana (2,3 months_
My child was delighted with the toy and is very happy to play with it. In my opinion, the product is suitable for both boys and girls.
Ewelina, Zuzanna's mother (1,6 months)
The child liked the dwarf the most, because of the dots. Minus too few contrasting elements - it does not focus the child's attention. Melodies and sounds pleasant, do not tire an adult. Overall well made construction. Minus for the awkwardness in folding and carrying.
Joanna, Zosia's mother (4,8 months)
The house is visually nice, interesting, interactive, colorfully prepared for both boy and girl fun. Teaches letters, counting and short musical chants. It can be used to play without activating sounds in the toy. It develops, teaches, creatively stimulates. The child is happy to join the fun with other toys, creating stories of a party organized in the house or a party by the pool.
Anna, Marcelina's mother (2,10, XNUMX months)
A very interesting product that my two children, 3-year-old Marcysia and 5-year-old Władzio, used. Initially, they were only interested in sounds and interactive elements and the house got bored after a few days. However, after a few days, they returned to him and began to play differently, playing roles and different situations. We have fun together too. It's a toy that kids keep coming back to.
Where to buy
The house is interesting, nice, in attractive colors. It has developmental values and belongs to the category of child-friendly toys. Sounds and moving elements encourage baby to explore. Many important aspects of everyday life can be practiced with this toy - greetings, goodbyes, cleanliness training, conversations and various domestic situations. The product is refined, made of good quality material, finished in a safe way. The functional elements are diverse and can be used for different developmental needs of the child.
