My 18 month old son loves getting the mail so this toy was a great find! We have it next to HIS play house. It includes 3 plastic envelopes in 3 different colors so you can work on colors and numbers and there are slots to store them in besides just putting them into the mailbox by opening the door or putting them in through the back or slot on the side in the mailbox. There are also 3 square shaped stackers (packages) also in different colors that he loves to build with or put into one another. There is a bee that buzzes when you push it around the mail box which he thinks is funny. A flexible butterfly is adorning the top of the mailbox along with a clicking catapillar and spinning ladybug at the bottom. Oh and the red flag also click and moves! My son has been quite entertained by this toy. It's great for exercising motor skills and imagination. The only negatives I would say are that it tips pretty easly and there should be an off/on switch for the buzzing bee. It's actually very cute but it would be nice to be able to control. Whether your children are into getting the mail or not this is a wonderful toy!!!

My 12 month old got this for her birthday. I was really wanting her to have this product. She loved playing with a smaller mailbox that was on one of her other toys so I thought she would really enjoy it. She loves getting the mail in and out of it and she likes playing with the containers that stack inside each other on the base. There is only one fault...it tips over very easily. So whenever she opens the door on the mailbox it falls over on her. They should have made the base weighted especially since its for the toddler age group.

My three year old will still play with this at times. My two year old girl has had a ball with this toy. They enjoy playing mailman and getting mail and sending mail. They enjoy all the pieces that click and move and so on.

If you are like me and appreciate toys that are fairly quiet, easy to play with, fun and durable, this is a good toy to buy.
It encourages both small and gross motor skills. It encourages creative play and imagination and exploration of the world.

I would consider this toy well worth the money.
Enjoy
