Can this product be used for real or is it good for pretend play only?

Yes it can be used for real tea. My daughters use it for hot chocolate mostly.

At my daughters tea party we used them, the girls loved pouring the tea for each other. After I hand washed everything.

MY opinion would be not to use HOT tea in the cups. And since you're talking about children, you sure wouldn't be using hot tea. I've used it with water and a small tea pot, and the kids love pouring more than anything. So to answer your question ...yes, but with certain restrictions.

It could be used for real, but the items are quite small...so it would take several cups to quench a thirst...

It's pretty real for little guys. My 3 year old uses it and it works perfectly. A little less bouncy for my 5 year old but he still likes it. It's great for kids up to 50 lbs in my opinion.

No, this is the real thing. It is very good at what it does so use it sparingly and not for too long.

Well, it can be used in many ways. I, for instance, use this for my computer and also to slap the kids over the head when they misbehave. It can also be used as a paddle in the BDSM community

I believe it is to be used for Magic Tricks. I bought this for Poker with my friends so I never use it.

No, You can "pretend" but baby does not "drink" and "wet" like a baby alive doll would; if that's what you had in mind. There is no hole in the back of baby's mouth.

It sounds very good for a toy piano, but it definitely sounds like a toy piano. If you want the sound of a real one, you will have to pay for it. My daughter enjoys her piano though. I would recommend it as a great toy.

I bought this just for that purpose actually. We've been using it for about 7mths now and it works great. Once your ready to lower it I do recommend buying a mini crib mattress. The bottom of the play pen is hard but once we bought the crib mattress ($20) our girl sleeps like a dream .

I don't think it would be good for a play table. It's counter height, too high for little kids.

I think thats about right--i mostly bought it for decoration. Sometimes ill wind it up a little for my daughter but wasnt really timing it but did notice it stops after about 10 seconds. Honestly its not something alarming to me--i think it works fine, it just has a short play period. Its still enough to amuse my daughter though and not long enough to annoy me so it works for us.

I would say it is more of an indoor toy as it is constructed of plastic and you are supposed to play on your knees. We bought three sets, two for nephews (both age 11) and one for my brother to play with his two year old son. One of the nephew's sticks broke at the bottom of the shaft the first day as they were getting a bit rough, leaning on the stick. That speaks to the durability of the set -- so again, probably not recommended for outdoor use. They are having tons of fun with them inside, though!

My five year old found it too simple. Probably did not play it with more than 10 hours cumulatively over the course of 10 months. It's a little more than just a nice pretend toy - that said it's not expensive either - you pretty much get what you pay for.

Yes, you would blow into it like a real instrument. But easy enough for a child to play, since my 3 year olds don't have an issue making sound. And not too loud either.

It was made for that purpose. It is for beginners of all ages.I am 64 years old and I have in the last two months began to play.

If you want to use it to rebuild, no. or if you want to resell on e-bay, no. But to use it for a long lasting play piece I would. As a matter of fact we did, and did with many of the lego pieces. The kids like to play with them once built. Some kids just like the building process. I think it depends on what you want to do with it. Hope that helps.

For my purposes, yes. It was used as a prop for a costume. A year or so later, I still shoot it every so often and it still works. I can't tell you how it would hold up over repeated use to play airsoft.
