Editorial Review

He's one goofy-looking potato--but that's never been a barrier to his wide "a-peel"! In this kit, preschoolers are introduced to Mr. Potato Head, the tater extraordinaire. With just 13 pieces, the options may seem limited--but only to adults. And once kids figure out the basics of putting Mr. Potato Head together, they'll want to move on to making extraterrestrial spuds: feet where ears should be, and so on. It's oh so silly! All the pieces store in Mr. Potato Head's body, but young ones will need adult assistance to snap the storage compartment door into place. --Ava Natov

Ok - Mr. Potato head brings back memories of my childhood. I don't recall playing with him all that much as a child but its just one of those toys you have to have. My two year old daughter got quite a few potato heads & additional dress up pieces. We've got a large container that we store them in and its been daily fun! Some of the pieces are small (earrings & buttons) so we've had to remove those from our section...but she loves making him look different daily. It originally helped with learning the eyes nose mouth hands...and then helped with her speech as well. I'm actually kind of sad she can say potato now - its one word that she was completely stumped on for the longest time..."table-low" -- a toy that brings back memories from my childhood and makes memories for my children! A must have in every family!!! Additional dress up pieces can be found for affordable prices!

I recently bought this toy for my two year old daughters. They love it!!! It took them a little while to figure out how it worked, but as soon as they did, they started playing with it all the time. They can entertain themselves for quite awhile. It was a very good value.

Mr. Potato Head just potty trained my 3 year old! After much discussion with her about using the potty, we finally found the trick for her! Each time she went she got to put a piece on her new Mr. Potato head and by the time she was half done with the pieces she was potty trained. I doubt Mr. Potato Head has had such a heroic review.
