My son loves his mini park
584965
My son is a little over 2 and we bought him this climber for Easter. We moved it into his room, and he calls it his park. It is small enough to fit in a bedroom. My son has had hours of fun climbing up and sliding down. It is fairly sturdy. He stands on top all the time. It rocks a little bit, but not too bad. He loves the basketball hoop, its just his size. It was a good purchace!

Huge mine craft fan here and all of the sets have not disappointed him.  I do with there were more mini figures in a set though.

So my dad bought this for my 2 year old birthday that was in July. Backstory: every day when I take my son to the park he literally spends most of the time standing by the basket ball court watching the teens play. He is obsessed! When the court is empty- he attempts to throw the ball in the hoop direction. Then we got this toy and he lovesssss it- and is quite good. He's got game!!! We use it indoors with no water or sand and it's fine. When I have a yard I will probably put water in.

Thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program.
My two year old son loves this car! We use it indoors and outdoors.  He likes to put toys in the seat storage compartment and to take a drink along in the cup holder. It's a great alternative to the stroller for walks to the park and around the neighborhood. My two older sons love to push their brother around in it.

My 10yr old son is getting to be quite the avid Lego collector. Up until Dec 2011 he was an only child, so he's pretty good at entertaining himself. He'll get on the floor with his little piles of Lego brickarms & minifigures and have a blast. 2 days ago he asked me for a Lego monster or troll. Yesterday, his troll arrived and so did this Minotaur. I got it as a surprise not knowing whether he'd like it or not cause he didn't ask for it specifically. As soon as I handed it to him he responded "AWESOME! Thanks mom!" Based on that reaction, I'd say this is a good toy.

Besides "building" skills and imagination play, I"m not sure what educational value this toy holds, but as far as fun and durable it definitely gets 5stars.

My son was going through a phase where he wouldn't sleep in his own bed and was in mine every night.  He helped me pick this bed out and promised if I got, he'd sleep in his own room again.  Sure enough, he's in love with it.  He tells everyone about his "slide bed" and how cool it is.  He's only 3 so I was a little concerned with the height, but I bought a 6" mattress as recommended and it's been perfect.  I keep pillows on the floor under the loft for peace of mind, but the railing really does the trick and he's an active sleeper.  You can't beat the $200 price tag either.  I liked this model without the curtains because the stock curtain colors for the bed clashed with his room. I easily made my own and I'm not at all crafty.  It really looks adorable and it's SO MUCH FUN for him!  Very pleased.

This tent is great for my three year old son.  This is one of his favorite toys to play with when he has friends over.  The tent is easy to assemble and is also easy to fold up and store when it's not being used.  The 2 in 1 grocery store and theater concepts are both great for pretend play.  This is one of the best toys I've purchased.  I am finding that we leave it up now since he plays with it almost every day!

Our home does not have many places or areas to "hang" pieces to create a fort.  I began exploring fort building systems and chose Fort Magic, my 5 year old just received this for Christmas.  Santa left the teepee.  My boy could not wait to take it apart and build something of his own. so far he has only built a little house but had no trouble figuring the system out.  The pieces are light weight and easy for him to get together, he loves playing with it. Bed sheets have worked great to cover his creations I am excited to see what his imagination creates with this toy!

it's big enough for his mother and him to play in comfortably.  it does take up room so account for that if you are setting in up in the house. I wanted something to spark his imagination and it fit the bill perfectly.

My son is obsessed with the Cars micro drifters and I have them everywhere!  I was very pleased to find that they actually made a case for them that is small enough to be portable, because we take them everywhere.  It was one of his favorite birthday presents.  At first it's a little challenging to open up, because you think it opens under the Cars logo, but there's a button on the side and once you figure that out, it pops right open.  Great idea so I can stop tripping on them everywhere in his room.

Although he is still a bit too short to enjoy all of the features, my 18 mo. son loves it and we do too! Really easy to put together and just adorable! We bought a fire pit cover to protect it from the elements, so hopefully it will be around for several summers!

I love... I should say, my son loves this swing! Just like the ones at the park except it has some yellow flexible plastic covering the chains which I really like! Great for when its cold or hot so my child doesn't get too much of a shock from touching the metal chains. The seat is real quality as well! Not like other cheap plastic swings I've seen around. This seat will last !years and years

As soon as my car- and truck-loving he saw me take this out of the box, he was at my feet waiting. Luckily he was somewhat patient, as it's secured to the cardboard backing with about 340 twist ties (okay, maybe 10). Each attachment has a specific place to go, but all the pieces can also fit in every other spot for creative fun! I think he played with it for an hour straight. It would be nice if there was a volume button on it, but it wasn't that annoying (maybe because my son likes just playing with it as a truck and wasn't terribly into making it make noise). Like most Tonka toys, this thing is sturdy. It's been in use about a week or so now, so it's been dropped and played with on the cement and it still look good and works. There's not much educational value to it (other than being able to be creative in putting the pieces on in different places), but it's such a fun toy and my son loved it so much that I'm rating it five stars. I'll come back to update once it's been in use a bit longer.

My son has several Playmobil sets so he was excited to try this one out.  The set is good size with plenty of room within the castle for your child to play.  My son is 11 and he had no problems putting this together by himself.  The set comes with 3 knights, one horse, flags, and one arrow that actually shoots from the castle.  The castle has a trap door that my son says he likes to play with.  He also likes the towers, the jail,  and that the doors to the castle open.  He said he really likes this castle and played with it for hours over the weekend.  I like that the Playmobil products last long and don't fall apart like Lego's do.  I happily buy him Playmobil toys as he really enjoys playing with them, they last, and its the type of toy other kids can use when he outgrows the toy.

I purchased a few of these MiO toys for my son. He is almost 3 and they are going to be perfect.  He has so many loud and overstimulating toys. Sometimes he just needs something creative and quiet. Kids need to be able to imagine up what things do and what situations should look like.  These toys allow that. I like all of the sets equally, as they are all simple and adorable.

The little bean bag animals and people in these sets have wood heads that would be a choke hazard for a baby.  I am saving these toys for my sons birthday, but I let my 11 month old play for a little bit.  I had to be careful to watch him with the little animals because he wanted the head in his mouth. That being said, he loved them all. I love how (under appropriate supervision) both of my children can play with the same set in different ways. I wanted a simple toy for them to share, so when I saw this I knew I had to try it. I did receive this at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest review. I think this entire line of toys is a timeless investment.

This piece is a car with 2 people. I also bought the trailer that attaches to the car. My son found this early and so this one did not make it until his birthday.  He doesn't realize I have a trailer for it yet and doesn't know there are houses too. He loves this though. He has every car and truck under the sun, but loves this plain wood one.  My 11 month old loves it too.  He immediately understood to put the people into the car and drive. I do recommend this product. I originally thought it was overpriced, but it is nice plain wood and I love that.  Also, my kids love it.  Maybe all of their loud car toys can go away?? Doubtful, but this was still a good buy. He's going to love the trailer attachment!

Fantastic little ride on! Easy to assemble and feels like it is of solid build quality. My son loves it!
