Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Plan Dollhouse is a collection of unique, heirloom-quality dollhouses, family figures, furniture, and accessories. From the classic A-frame My First Dollhouse, to the elegant open-plan Chalet Dollhouse, these miniature homes will provide years of enjoyment for children aged three and older. This year, we have added an exciting new model to our collection - the Green Dollhouse. This home embodies the concept of minimal waste and clean energy. Plan Dollhouses give children a fun opportunity to play, learn, and share together. The tree house with trunk is made of bent plywood, its simple structure is split into 3 levels. There is a tent on top and a pulley with pallet set to carry object to the top of the tree house. This full set comes with a table, two chairs, a bucket, a rope ladder, a swing and two figures.

Product Description

This fanciful Tree House has 3 levels on its trunk of curved plywood. The top level has a canvas canopy covering a living area with a table and chairs. There is a working pulley and pallet to hoist objects to the upper levels. The tree house set includes a table, 2 chairs, a bucket, a rope ladder, a swing, and 2 figures.

Playtime Ideas:

• The Tree house gives children a fun look at what it would be like to live in an outdoor home. They can imagine themselves camping or exploring the wilderness.
• Children can learn how the pulley works to help lift heavy loads with less effort.
• Children will have fun role playing and telling stories about the Tree House and the action figures. They can enjoy designing and decorating their Tree House with extra accessories such as the Patio Furniture (7316), Pets and Accessories (7314), or the Vegetable Garden (9844).
• Children can play with others helping to learn how to share, wait for their turn, and enjoy creating their own imaginative stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adorable Treehouse with some Construction Issues, September 13, 2009

We bought this treehouse for my son's third birthday. He loves it! Here are the pros and cons.

Pros:
No fake leaves or anything for them to get frustrated with
Adorable construction and toy people
Cool accessories, including the pulley
Stable base

Cons:
Although the base is stable, the rest of the treehouse is not. I am going to have to hot glue gun some pieces on because it is too frustrating for any child to play with. The little fences that the swing and rope ladder hang from fall out CONSTANTLY.You can't swing the people on them without them falling out. The tent is supposed to be held up by the tension of four elastic cords, but it really doesn't work well at all.



Overall, I usually LOVE plan toys, which is why I chose this one out of all the other ones. I like it, my son really loves it, but it needs some work.

This review is from: PlanToys Tree House (Toy)

This is a beautiful tree house with excellent quality (as Plan Toys usually is). It is very stable, comes with many accessories, including a swing, ladder, and a pulley system w/ bucket! This is a great uni-sex toy house that fosters creative play and will grow with your child for years. My son is really into pretend play these days, and plays with this house all the time in very creative ways. It definitely has more educational value than some of the electronic toys out there these days.
I have personally not found it to be fragile. I think if your kid is 3/4+, they should have good hand coordination and not find it to be frustrating. The ropes on the ladder and swing loop quite well and my son does not have any problem with it. But I suppose if your kid does, like the other reviewer suggested, you can easily put a dab of glue on it to stablize it.
I have looked around at different tree houses before I purchased, and this is my favorite and I would highly recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fragile Tree House, October 27, 2009

This review is from: PlanToys Tree House (Toy)

The tree house is easy to assemble. Quality construction. The posts that the swing and ladder hang from do not "lock" into place. They rest in a carved out groove in the wood. This causes the stumps to pop out and the swing and ladder to fall often. We had to glue it down as it was causing too much frustration. This solved the issue and was easy. Would prefer for Plan Toys to create like a wood screw so that it'd stay in. This was a gift from our wish list for our 3 year old son. He is into imaginary play right now and it was a good alternative to a doll house. He's put his other Plan Toy trucks onto the pully and lifted them to the top levels and really seems to enjoy the dolls.
