My five year old daughter plays with her Polly Pockets more than any other toy she owns. She loves to play with them in a big bowl of water and pretend they are swimming. I bought her this to make it more exciting. The wave, slide and dolphins fall off constantly and she cannot get them back on by herself. The doll that came with the set broke less than a month after she got it. In addition, the area to put the water is very shallow so it spills all over the place. Even with a thick towel, underneath, I'm still sopping water off the floor after she's done. I truly wish they would make these Polly Pocket toys more durable.

For some reason, if you add water to a toy, it doubles the fun. This toy is no exception. It is about as well made as all of the other polly pocket toys, which is not very well, but the pieces snap together easily enough and so far have stayed put. We are happy with this purchase.

I have to agree with the other review. This is a lot of fun, but the back part and the slide do not stay together and my girls can't fix it (nor my husband). Why can't these companies develop things that stay together??? Also, water does get everywhere so you have to be prepared for that. However, my girls are hiaving a lot of fun with it.

My 5 year old is a huge Polly Pocket fan and received this set for Christmas this year. She LOVES it and plays with it daily. All the Polly Pockets come over for a pool party with this and the boat she has. It is messy, but it's just water - keep a towel under it. The only thing challenging for her is keeping the doll-holder piece on the dolphin which I help with. Ours hasn't fallen apart - the slide and all the pieces stay on just fine. They are a thin plastic and won't last forever unlike the toys I grew up with in the '70's and early '80's, but for $15 it's worth the few months to one year of play that she'll give it. She's been playing with it around two weeks so far and it's holding up fine.

You definately need adult supervision with this toy. It's messy because the water can get everywhere but it's lots of fun so it serves it's purpose. If your child loves Polly Pockets and water, you will loads of fun.

The concept of this is sound: the dolphins can be spun around in the little pool that holds water. It's all mechanical (not electrical) - as the dolphins spin around, there are bumps that lift them in and out of the water. The slide is kind of silly though - Polly Pocket torpedo that sinks the dolphins and knocks the mechanism apart.

This is something you'd want in a bathroom only - water gets everywhere. If it stayed together better and didn't want to fall apart at the slightest provocation, I'd have liked this a whole lot more. My daughter just isn't interested in toys that don't stay together and gets tired of putting them back together or asking me to fix it.
