So I've had this for a year and never opened it. Can anyone give me some ideas of neat things to do with it? I am a mom of a lot of kids if that helps

We have laminated my husbands handicap parking hanging badge. But you can put a picture in there, recipes so you don't get them dirty, use it as a write on/wipe off, photos... etc... Laminate the various achievements they do in school, sports, or extra curricular... I have seen people do instructions in them or labels for school projects. Basically anything you want protected.

Photos, name tags, appointment cards, any business cards, newspaper items, calendars, any number of items that you want to protect. You can order different sizes of the laminating plastic from small business card, 6 x 4 photo to 8 1/2 x 11 sizes.

I would contact the company and see if they can help you buy one or talk to a local store manager who has one on display that maybe would give you a deal on the whole crib... Best of luck.

Yes you do and this I knew only after returning it. As long as that is resolved, it may be a great toy. I think I also bought it when my child was too young to play with it. She is 2 now and she may enjoy it way more than a year ago.

Try using a regular credit card or something similar in make (material wise) and hopefully it should open (unless you have a faulty bank like I did). It opens by putting the card in the storage slot, which pushes a latch inside that allows the door to open. But my son put the card and the directions in the storage slot and I had no idea how to retrieve it until it was too late; I had to break it open even after trying to use a similar card it still wouldn't open. But try the credit card (or something that you can use that would be forceful enough to push the latch back) and see if that works. Good luck.

I didn't open mine, I gave it as a gift to Granddaughter, only have one and I purchased a lot of extra stuff, she may have even gotten duplicates. She is 3 yrs. and enjoyed it all, that is what her mother said to me.

I had my one year old home, who is very busy and needed help with things and I missed some stuff. if you have the ability to keep them occupied with a movie or game in a different room that would be best, there is some content that isn't really child appropriate.

You get the fun of putting it together. My Son collects them and loved this one. Good luck and enjoy.

It's a great set but my 6 yr old got bored eventually. Or else he forgot about it.....in any case, I bet there is something more complicated for older kids. I've wondered about Q-Ba-Maze?

I had the same problem after I had it for about 2 years... as did others I read about. I took it apart thinking I could fix it and saw how it was made....it is a throw-away, all plastic junk. Funny thing is when I put it back together it worked again for a while. I finally just threw it away...If you want my recomendataion I would bang it around a bit, then see if it works again, it did for me. If not? Toss it, it is junk!

I do believe you need to re-set it. My kid's 18 now and hasn't used it for years.

My son got one for his birthday last year and never used it. It is in the original box. I would sell it :-)

I have not seen it but my boys (8 & 9) want it too, so we think we may spring for it. BUT a word of advice from a mom who bought way too many toys too early for them (when the were 5 & 6). Wait. We bought a pool/ping pong/air hockey combo table and it's trashed. All the games we bought for them at that age are missing pieces. Unless your 6 yr old is really mature, I would wait a year or two if I were you.

Honestly this not worth of investment, since I was not able to open mine for a while coz I'm always busy, when time comes that I was able to hook up on my system too late for me to return so I just throw it to garbage out of frustration that where it belongs. If you still has time left for you to return hurry to get your money back. Good luck.

it's been over a year, but I think it just came with a flyer with pictures? My kids love this set!!

You can use it over and over. It is very durable and will give your children many hours of enjoyment unless they gouge it with something sharp and tear it up. Otherwise it will last a long time. You may need to buy replacement tools for it.

My daughter had the same problem . She just doesn't use it anymore . Not worth it !!!
