Yes, my 2 year old uses it to sweep everything, including the gravel on our driveway and it's been holding up great. He also whacks it against walls and throws it down all the time and it's still in great shape!
1526632
Yes! My 4 year old still uses his and it gets thrown around all over the place. He loves it!
1526633
Yes, my grandson is three. It's just like a regular broom, with a shorter handle. He loves to help, and the broom set is a perfect size.

Yes, I gave it to my granddaughter who will be turning 3 in September. She loves it and the broom is even used outside on the patio. So far, its holding up well.

We have had it since Christmas and its still intact. I have a 3.5 and a 1 year old. I do make sure we use it as a broom not as a hammer if you know what I mean :). We really like them.

We got it for our 1 year old grandson. He likes scooping anything with it. He likes the size and shapes of the little things to scoop. A friend's 2 and 3 year olds also enjoy playing with it.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old. The house itself is pretty durable, but things like the windows and doors are, frankly, flimsier than I would like. For the price of the house, I was a bit surprised at this. My daughter is very gentle with her toys, but I felt even for her I had to remind her, please play gently. The furniture is pretty durable overall, but again, for the price of this stuff, some of it is shoddy. The tub faucet broke off in about 5 minutes and the legs on the chairs are really thin and I feel like could snap in a minute. I love the house, how it lights, etc., but I am just hoping it lasts until my daughter is older.

Yes, however the dust pan is horrible anyways. My broom isn't a year old yet and needs thrown out already.

Absolutely. Ours has been in use for 2.8 years and we will be using it for another baby soon. I expect it to last years still. It still looks like new.

The broom set is well made. My 2 year old great-granddaughter loves to sweep with her broom.Money well spent.

I love the broom. It's compact and has a place on the handle to hang it up. The 3 part extension pole makes it easy fo me to sweep or my grand kids. They just extend 2 instead of 3. You can just sweep out the door or use the handy dust pan. The dust pan also attaches to the broom for easy storage.

2 -5 yrs. My three year old granddaughter handles the little people and the house pretty good.

I've used mine several times with my now 3.5 year old son, it hasn't broken yet. It isn't as stable as I'd like it to be, but he still plays with it as a toy even though I haven't travelled with him more than a handful of times.

I bought this for my 3.5 year old and he loves it. I would think most kids from age 3-7 would like playing with this set.

Yes, it will withstand rough play. My daughter has had hers for over a year now and still no issues with the kitchen. Melissa and Doug products are a good use of money. I do not think you will be disappointed.

No My 3.5 Year Old Still Enjoys It And Even Shoots Real Field Tip ArrowsWith It When We Are Target Practicing With It. My Son Is Definately Capeable Of Shooting A More Powerful Bow But This One Meets He Needs. The Bow Itself Has Been Durable The Arrows Howeve Are Not As DurableI Think They Should Be For The Price You Pay For Replacrments But Overall Its A Good Toy Like Bow And Has Been worth The PrIce We Paid.

I bought this for my son when he was 1 an now he is 3, he still enjoys it but now he pulls the toy to his dirt pile, doesn't really pedal with it anymore. If I was hunting for a CAT digger, I might try something else. The older kids (ages 4-9) in our neighborhood really like just the backhoe with the seat on the back....I hope that helps

I have a 3 year old boy that is constantly wanting to "play" with the diaper genie.. he thinks it is a rocket.. I have to keep an eye on him around it because I have found his toys and other things inside the bag when I go to empty it. As far as durability it seems to be holding up.

My set has held up wonderfully! It truly looks like the day I received it and it has weathered some pretty rough weather. Snow, ice, and some pretty hot days as well. It is now 3 yrs. old.

No not at all. Its held up nice and wevehad it since December. Plus we have a three year old who likes to put her feet all over and it cleans up nice.
