The Step2 Charming Cottage provides non-stop entertainment for my 4yo and 2yo.  It took less than an hour to put together with help from my 4yo.  She loved putting on her own address sticker!  The working doorbell is a huge hit, and the flower beds in the windows have drainage holes to grow flowers (we decided on fresh herbs).  My kids love to play house, and this cottage provides so many real life features (the sky light is one of our favorites).  There is a storage area for crafts, pretend food, or any other ideas my kids can dream up!  I am amazed with the durability and how well my Step2 products hold up to wear and tear, I would absolutely recommend this product to a friend.  I received this product as part of the Step2 toy tester program. The reviews and opinions expressed are my own.
