My five-year-old was tired of getting yelled at by her older sister for squatting at Barbie's vacation house, so I decided to get her her own hangout. This set was reasonably priced at Toys R Us for $20.00. Doll not included. 10" high, 11" wide. See below for the dirt on this hut.Rainbows:
-Stays firmly latched.
-Has lots of extras, unlike Barbie's sets.
-Sturdy design and pieces.
-Easy directions.
-Stickers are easy to apply.
-Sleeping bag/futon is beautiful with a vintage, earthy bird print. Has some Velcro to convert it to a futon. Sorta works.
-Cabinets and oven open and close wonderfully.
-Small accessories can fit in the above. Good storage. Even has a pot rack.
-Kids do not even notice that there is no bathroom.
-Sweet, cabinish graphics.
-Campfire glows well.
Mosquitoes:
-Some stickers pop up a bit and will have to be glued eventually.
-The eggs and milk accessories are connected together. A little weird.
-Wish campfire stayed on longer. It turns off automatically after about two minutes.
-Roof does not stay on all the time. Hard to get it to snap in. I had an easy time of putting it in place while sitting at my kitchen table, but has fallen off since. The peak goes to the left.
-Hammock deal does not work. Dolls cannnot even be supported by hammock. We just lay it out like a second sleeping bag.
-Back kitchen wall is cardboard, not plastic. Ours is now bulging a bit because I stuffed all the bigger accessories in the lodge while it was closed. That is how I figured out that the wall was not plastic.
-Box claims everything can be stored within the closed lodge; see above bulging problem. Plus, the hammock stand will not fit in the lodge for storage purposes. There is a gap with the roof on, but those pieces within should be snug as long as the roof is in place and smaller pieces are stuffed within the closed cabinets.
Included Pieces:
-Electronic campfire (need 2 AA batteries, and Phillips head screwdriver).
-1 sleeping bag.
-1 hammock with stand.
-2 skewers (hotdogs and marshmallows).
-2 pots with hooks.
-2 plates, 2 placemats (cardboard), 7 pieces of silverware.
-1 bowl, 2 mugs, 1 coffeepot.
-2 stump chairs, 1 table.
-1 camera.
-1 muffin tin with permanent muffins.
-1 egg/milk carton(s).
-2 mags, 1 gameboard, 2 card setsall cardboard.
Mixed feelings that balance out to "just O.K." for now. Subject to change.
Best Deals for Liv It?s My Nature Maple Lodge Playset
My 11 year old daughter asked for this for Christmas and was exited when she opened the package. She's been playing with it ever since.I was surprised to see that she wanted dolls and houses for Christmas. It appears that she enjoys them more now than when she was 8 and 9. She was able to put all the stickers on and set it up herself. Great toy overall!!!! Guess that no matter how old you are there is no limit to your imagination!!!!!!
With all of the high tech gadgets out there you still can't beat the classics. Heck, it saved me a fortune this year!!!!!
Cons: The seller left the price tag they purchased it for($7.00)on the box. Nice to know I paid $22.00 for something they paid 3X less for. To their defense everyone else and every place else was selling it for the same amount or more so I would have paid the same price no matter what. Guess I need to start scouring stores for cheap deals!!!!
