My four-year old niece loves this toy! It consists of a castle background (that contains a handsome prince!), two magnetic dolls, and various charming outfits. I had to punch out the outfits from the backing for her, but after that she was off and running. Each outfit (hats, boots, dresses) is that of a type of princess, from a fairy princess to an American Indian princess to a snow princess. Several outfits look like they belong to characters young girls are familiar with: Snow White, Jasmine from Aladdin, Alice in Wonderland. These are wonderful for young girls because they are colorful, durable, and stimulate creative activities like story telling. They are heavy weight, and so resist tearing and can be washed.

Best of all, all the pieces are magnetic so they stay together without getting lost and can be applied either to the supplied background or to any metallic surface. They immediately found a home on the refrigerator. My niece plays with them on the refrigerator door while Grandma cooks dinner in the kitchen.

The pieces of this toy (the outfits, etc.) all ripped when we pulled them off the starter sheet. Also, the pieces are too little and get easily lost when played with and the outfits are uncolorful and depressing. In general, this toy is hokey and cheap. I recommend Melissa and Doug's Magnetic Dress-Up and/or
Magnetic Princess Dress-Up. All the pieces are wooden and are large enough to keep together. Also, the outfits are colorful and beautiful and they come in nice wooden boxes with lids so that a child can keep things organized.

My three and six-old daughters received this as a gift and have enjoyed it very much. Fortunately, there are two dolls so each can play with one...no fighting! I find the dolls to be quite durable with plenty of variety on outfits for them to wear. The set is well worth the price, and I hightly recommend it.

I bought this for my 5 year old "princess" for a week-long trip to grandma's house. She loved dressing the dolls up in the various outfits. We've been back from our trip for weeks and she still plays with it all the time. It may not be very educational, but she has a lot of fun playing with it.

I have purchased this item for every 3-5 year old that I can! My daughter had endless hours of play with this item. I am now an elementary school teacher and have this in my classroom for students to use during indoor recess. They LOVE them. I have taught both second and fifth graders and they equally enjoy this toy! This one is worth every penny!

Very cute, kids love this. Let the kids take it apart, but they broke some of the dresses =( My girls were 4 - 7 when they received this.
