I got this for my daughter's 5th birthday. It is cute, but the swing around trunk is useless. Tika is supposed to swing her trunk around, pick up the little doll and put her on her back. You are supposed to put one of the little dolls in front of Tika on a little cardboard mat that shows you where to place them. 9 times out of 10 it misses, which became very frustrating for my daughter. She also ownes the little elephants that you hook together. She would much rather play with those.

Great value. Kids 6 & 4 loved it. It was their favourite Santa Present.
Works very well when using the template but was also fun trying to guess where to put the doll to get picked up. Very good magnets in dolls and on trunk of elephant.

Was wary of it due to other poor reviews but they were not warranted. Toy is very good and well made.

I'll admit it- I was thinking that this probably wasn't a good call when I bought it. But my daughter really, really wanted it for her birthday- in fact, it was the only thing she wanted! So, I bought it. It is VERY hard to use correctly- you need to sit the mini Barbies JUST SO at a certain distance on the "template leaf" (direct quote). The, half the time, it doesn't work anyway, or the doll falls off, or the trunk falls off the elephant. Most of the time, our elephant sits with his trunk fallen off. Sad, and a waste. If your child really loves it, buy the mini version- it doesn't throw the dolls around, but it's cheaper and works better (it rolls.)
