Caring Corners - Mrs. Goodbee Interactive Dollhouse

This appears to be a toy that will grow with my child for some time. I like the two sided play design and I like the sounds and music and such. However, I wish there was more repertoire and interactivity, as the sayings and sounds repeat after just a few pushes of whichever button - so they'll get old to my daughter pretty quick. (And they get old to us adults even quicker! :)) She loves the toilet and flusher, though. That was a real winner.I am a bit disappointed in the plastic. I suppose it is pretty durable compared to other doll houses, but it feels a little flimsy particularly since the design requires opening and shutting in a Z shape. Also, I would really really like it if the doll house had some sort of handle on top for safe transport from the spot where it is shelved to wherever the kids want to play with it. I feel that it will end up breaking sooner than it should for these two reasons.I really like the quality of the accessories - dolls, pets, furniture. I think they will last and I like that there is some 'hair' to play with on the girls, but not too much so that the dolls will end up looking knotty like barbies can.Lastly, my doll house arrived with a chip broken off one of the bottom corners. It appears that the box it was shipped in was knocked around by UPS - so I'm not sure that should be a consideration regarding the product or just an issue with the shipper. Just an FYI to warn purchasers to check the shipping box before opening.

All that advertising about secret codes and unlocking new activities on the Caring Corners website is bogus. Took me awhile, but in the FAQ section of Learning Curve website is a statement that says "we have phased out the codes for our Caring Corners products and website." It does mention that the entire Good Deeds Garden is available, but that takes some of the fun and educational point out of the toy. We have only had the toy for a couple of days and so far all else is holding up good and my daughter seems to like it. We need some more accessories to play with, however they are a little hard to find. The Loving Family dollhouse seems to be everywhere.

My daughter pointed this dollhouse out to me when she was 7 as something she wanted for Christmas. That was in 2009. I was skeptical as to whether she would actually play with it since she already has a nice Playmobile dollhouse which lives in our basement, and when she is down there, she would only occasionally play with that dollhouse. It's been almost 3 years, and she and her friends still play with Mrs. Goodbee all the time. I love it because it can collapse (for lack of a better word) into a size that is easy to store. She loves everything about it. Aunts and Uncles gave her room furnishings and a family to populate the house, and for a while she used those, but Polly Pockets use it, as do Littlest Pet Shops, My Little Ponies, and other assorted animals and beings. I did buy it on Amazon, but as I recall, it was significantly less expensive. I am pretty sure it was less than $50. But if you can afford the current price, I found it to be a good investment in how many hours she has spent enjoying Mrs. Goodbee.

It is certainly a cute house and my granddaughter loves it. I am disappointed with it because it doesn't seem very sturdy for little girls to play with. The stickers don't stay on and the rooms aren't big enough for the furniture, even if the table benches were able to stand up without falling over while putting the dolls on them, the dolls are difficult for little hands to put them on the benches. It usually takes me a few times putting the dolls up to the table to keep everything from falling over. I think this being made for 3 year olds, things should be much more sturdy.

it bring the family included and has a toilet that flushes I brought other parts seperate and they work excellent with the space available it sings and make them have a great time ever time my two year old enjoys it as well easy to open and easy to play with you don't need to be over them as all the parts are large enough and best of all does not take up much space

Dollhouse, very interactive, my grand daugther who is 4yrs old was deligthed with the house. She play three days in a row with her toy after Christmas. Helps the child to use her/his imaginatio and creativity. I want to buy the other activities because the house looks empty. I recomended for children of 4 and plus.

My daughter who will be 2 the end of January got this toy for Christmas. She plays for long periods of time, it seems to really keep her entertained and busy. Most toys tend to bore her after 5 or ten minutes. I also bought her the RV, which she loves too. She plays with the house, dolls and RV all together and has the dolls go on little trips together. I think this toy is educational, and would help develop emotional intelligence as well as manners, and help foster a great imagination. The toy is cute, and all the little sayings are adorbale. My only complaint is it is a bit fragile and flimsy. Otherwise, very happy!

The girls love the dollhouse. The toy isn't durable much but the satisfaction of my girls was the most important part. The dollhouse in my opinion is pricey but again satisfaction of my girls was most important and they would give it a 5 star. Would make a great birthday, Christmas, Easter, etc. gift.
