Product Description
| 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.
The Cottage consists of two open halves, each measuring approximately 37-by-18-by-42 inches (LxDxH), with the collapsible chimney adding about eight inches to the height. It's constructed with two lightweight plastic and metal frames, snugly fitted with a nylon exterior that meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84. The included toy stove has plastic and fiberboard construction. 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 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.

 This is the BEST!!! |

| We bought this for my 3 year old girl's birthday. It was SO easy to set up...only took 1/2 hour for all pieces, including the oven and sink! The attention to detail in this product was amazing and the quality was far better than I expected. She absolutely loves it. The best part...when she is tired of it for a while, take it apart and store it under the bed or in the attic. I can't wait for more pieces to come out. All the parts nest inside each other for space saving too. I HIGHLY recommend this item!!!! |
| Great gift idea! |

| We just bought this for my daughter's third birthday and wow, did we score big time with this gift! She has barely left the house, even wanting to sleep in it last night. As another reviewer said, the attention to detail is amazing, it's high quality, and was so easy to put together. I especially love how easy it is to clean up and move out of the way.
I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with little girls! |
| Two year old loves it! |

| My daughter received this for her 2nd birthday-she loves it! It is larger than we thought it would be in size. It takes up a good portion of our living room, but my daughter has too much fun with the cottage to worry about the space it takes up. The house pieces nest together nicely, but I wish that it would be a little easier to take the whole thing down if we wanted to-we just don't want to put the poles together again. Overall, the whole cottage goes up very easily and it is a blast to play with. |
| Very cute, my daughter and son both have fun w/it |

| My family bought this as an early xmas gift for my 1-1/2 yr old daughter and she loves it and the little stove! My 3yr old son has had fun with it also. It's their little "fort" and he likes to run his matchbox cars off the roof - ha ha. So far it seems fairly sturdy and it was easy to put together. I only wish more of the accessories were more widely available. Hasbro has a lot more accessories than you see in stores on their website but all are out of stock right now. :( I will update this review if I find anything wrong with it though. |
| Beautiful, functional, well-built ROSE DREAM |

| This is one of the best purchases we have made for our now 4-year-old daughter. We purchased this for her as a Christmas gift as she had seen it repeatedly on TV and in magazines and had fallen in love with it. I am surprised that more people didn't have trouble with the assembly, but maybe that was due to the fact that we were swamped with putting thigs together at 2 AM on Christmas Eve! I got the frame set up without a glitch, but for some reason, I had lots of trouble getting the material onto the frame. As it turned out, I had the framed turned backwards, and I could've looked at the pictures in the directions a bit more carefully.
The final product is a masterpiece! This toy leaves lots of room for creative play, and even my 3-year-old son has really enjoyed playing in the cottage. My daughter has insisted on sleeping in it, which we allowed, but only with the 2 pieces open a bit. On Christmas morning, she ran right to it, and after a bit emerged only to grab her other presents and take them to the cottage to open! The cottage is well-constructed and is not the usual tacky mess cluttering up our living room. My daughter LOVES that she can completely enclose herself in the cottage and play. I love the warm pastels and attention to detail. A word of caution: I bought the washer and the sink, and the cottage comes with the stove. I know that there are TONS of other accessories that you can purchase with this set, but there is only so much room inside the cottage. With these 3 pieces, one side of the cottage is pretty much taken up. I would suggest choosing pieces carefully; chances are, your daughter will be more thrilled with the cottage itself than the accessories. In fact, more than once, I have seen my daughter take out all of the accessories to give herself more play room inside. I would ALSO suggest doing some comparison shopping on the accessories as Amazon's prices have drastically risen since I purchased mine. This is a fantastic purchase! You will not be disappointed with this set! |
