DD got hers at 2 years 4 months and payed with it straight away and still does. She got the cinderella carriage at the same time and while she loved the figure she doesn't really play with the carriage much which really surprised me. The castle gets played with loads though. Her cousin had the castle for a year beforehand and DD took a real interest in hers from about 22 months- before that she could take or leave it.

One that kind of got forgot about in the excitement of everything else last year has just become a favourite. Horrid Practical Jokes. I keep getting asked if I want a drink of water with ice cubes in (which of course have flies in the 'ice cubes') or "oooooouch it really hurts!" and being shown a finger with a nail apparently going through it LOL

Elc garage and bouncing rabbit also from elc were bearly touched and now in loft :-/ loads of other stuff too. And jigsaws and games, although played with properly they also used pieces as "food" in their toy kitchen so now half of the boxes are empty as scattered around the house, really anoying.
