My daughter turns 18 months just after xmas. Is she too young to appreciate this? Seems most reviewers mention 3 year olds, but maybe 18 months is ok?

I bought the both castles for my son and daughter on their 1 & 2 year old birthdays (born a year apart), they both love playing with the set! Even my one year old likes walking people up and down the steps etc. My 2 year old can definitely use the trap doors, drawbridge etc.

Not only does my 7 yr old daughter still play with hers...I have been filling in as a daycare provider for two little girls that are 18mos old and 22mos old and they love it! I purchased sevreral sets of princess mini dolls from toys r us/Disney store.Even the 18 mos little ones 4 yr old brother gets in on play time with the Disney prince figures! I definitely recommend this castle! It's a good long term toy!

I think it would be okay for an 18 month old, I got it for my daughter when she was 2 and she loved it (and still does at 3 1/2). It's would be a good size for fisher price little people to play in too. We use the Disney magic clip princesses with ours, they're just the right size.

Yes. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old. My youngest has been playing with it since he turned 1. It started out a little tall for him, but that didn't keep him from wanting to play with it. Now he is plenty tall enough to play with it (and he is not "of the charts" tall or anything).

My daughter just turned 5 and loves it. A 3 year old might get frustrated with it, but with help from an adult or older child would probably be ok.

It says "Manufacturer recommended age: 24 months - 6 years". That's probably about right. My daughter is 3.

I bought it last year and my daughter was 6. She still loves it and her friend that's 9 asked for one for Christmas. My daughter would draw on her toys when she was little so I wouldn't even think about buying a more expensive doll for her at age 2 or 3. So I would think age 4 & up. Hope this helps!

I agree with the first post, this was my daughters first doll when she was about 1. Its a 'baby' so if she loves little babies she may enjoy it.

My daughter has enjoyed it since she was 3 months and is now 6 months and the way she plays with it has evolved. I think this is a toy she will continue to play with for a long time. We have purchased 2, because we thought we lost one and this one really is the Go-to toy for her car seat and when she is sitting. I know your comment is from MONTHS ago, but responding to help others wondering the same thing. :-) Btw, we purchased the 2nd one at 6 months of age and it even cost more than the first one...so, I think a 6 month will enjoy!

Personally I think yes it would be too young for a 2 1/2 year old. My 11 month old gets bored with it. I'd say up to 1 1/2 maybe. That is just my personal opinion though.

I think it depends on the child. Our daughter was 6 when we got hers, but I'm sure she would have been fine earlier. I agree with the other response, not sure I'd go much below 4 years.

I bought this for an 18 month year old and he struggles with it. He doesn't really show any interest in trying to learn it. I'd say try giving it to 2 year olds and older.

I think it is perfect for a 3 year old. I got it for my granddaughter and she is 18 months; I think she will most likely use it until she is 5 or 6.

I bought it for my 2 1/2 year old grandaughter last year for Christmas. Once the package was opened both she and her 4 year old sister played together with these sturdy "paper" dolls for quite awhile. I guess that 3 years would be the perfect age. lol

I think this may be little too advanced for a 3 year old. It is a wonderful toy; very well made and amazing the way it moves and the sounds but I think I would wait until the child is about 6 years old. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy now.

I purchased this for a friend's granddaughter who is 18 months. She loves to pretend to fill cups and other things. As it is a Christmas gift, I don't know if it is age appropriate. I will follow up after Christmas.

No my daughter is six when we got it for her at Christmas. She will grow into it.

My son is 2 1/2 years old and has no issues with pushing the button to release the cars or with knowing how the cars go down the tracks. I would say any child 2 y/o and beyond will be able to enjoy it. the product is surely safe for the recommended 18 months and beyond. Just keep in mind that those that are younger then 18 months will more then likely have vertical stability issues as they are still learning how to keep upright while performing other tasks that require many adjustments to their positions.

I would say this could fall into a large age group ... 5-12... Maybe a little younger or a little older... :) Merry Christmas!
