Toys and Games Reviews of Hasbro Playskool Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage

Customer Review: One of our favorite toys EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars

We have three kids, two girls (6 and 3) and a boy (7, almost8). We bought this for our youngest daughter's January B-day. It seemed impossible to find something that she'd get excited about after the Christmas overload, then I started seeing the Rose Petal Cottage accessories on clearance at Target. I thought "Well she has a play kitchen and lots of dolls, so I'll just get the washer and the nursery." Then I found the Cherry Blossom Market and some of the accessories for that. After we set up the market and the appliances I was in love. We fished around online and found the rest of the pieces. Now we have everything but the chair, we chose to just get the dinette set. It was all so simple to assemble. I put the cottage together by myself while my husband was at work with all three kids "helping". The most dificult part is getting the covers on the frames, but even that wasn't a big deal. I'm spacially challenged, but my husband got the market cover in in minutes. It's kind of like setting up a tent, but with an inside layer that the frame slides in between.

My son, the oldest has autism and we've always felt that pretend play and role playing are important, even if it means he gets to play with "girl stuff" now and then. So we had an even bigger motivator for getting all of this. Despite his usual attention span issues (the opposite of any "normal" seven year old) he was very interactive and really enjoyed this.

Obviously, our girls are in love with it. My youngest is inside of it right now. You can use it with both halves closed like a play house or keep the halves open. With the market next door it's like a mini town! Because of my kid's ages I am always struggling to find things that will entertain the youngest and the oldest. Or be suitable for the youngest but withstand the destruction of the oldest. I was so pleased with the cottage and market, all three are able to enjoy it together for extended times. It has a really broad appeal as far as ages and abilities. It's not super educational by design, but kids can gain so much through pretend play and a lot of educational activities can be combined with it.

I did a lot of hunting online and in stores and found the best prices I could. With the Cottage, Market and just about every accessory available I ended up spending about $165. But even if I had spent twice as much I would feel like it was an excellent deal. I can't even begin to describe all of the sweet, thoughtful little details. I love that the doors have magnets that are strong enough to need a little tug or push to open and stay firmly closed like a real house. The house halves have gorgeous eyelet trim and they slide into each other for easy storage. Or the mail slot in the door that you can really use or the velcroed ties for the sweet little curtains in the cottage... Not to mention the designs on the market and the cottage. I'm quite jealous, I would have treasured such a beautiful play house as a child, and I'd love to live in a cottage just like it now!

I can't speak to the durability, we've only had everything for a few weeks. But it looks like it will wipe clean easily, as long as the messes are reasonable. And the stitching looks really solid. The appliances and nursery are made of a super strong, thick fiberboard. It would probably take quite a big kid sitting on any of it to break or some serious liquid saturation to warp it. All of the pieces lock together very securely and it looks like they'll hold up for a long time. The only downside I can see is that it might difficult to disassemble it all. But who would want to unless they were moving? I like that my oldest can't easily break it all down and lose the pieces and that my kids could play like wild animals for hours on end. I think the cottage and market could withstand any category hurricane my kids could muster in our play room!

Charming Playhouse Features Delightfully Pretty Touches
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
These days it's not easy to find toys that don't blink and beep, which is why we find the Rose Petal Cottage so refreshing. It simply provides beautiful props to fuel your child's creativity without limiting her, leaving play completely up to her imagination -- no batteries required.

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.
