Some of the creative stuff they come upwith is so entertaining! That was no exception when I gave them theBuild A Dream Playhouse to review!

Jumping up and down and squelching withanticipation! Assoon as the truck was complete the boys ran to “Check the Oil”and the girls ran to color! It was so cute! We have now had theImagination Wagon for about two weeks and I expected it to be prettytore up as it is made out of cardboard. But it is not! There is infact nothing at all torn or messed up with this truck at all! That issurprising seeing how it has been through 5 children each day and allof them are under the age of 6!
