We got this for my daughter as a Christmas gift, she won't even be 2 years old until January. I decided to let her open it early, just to see if I should buy furniture for it or not. She hardly ever plays with anything more than 5 minutes, but this holds her attention for hours at a time. She loves it. She talks to them and makes them interact with each other. The house is made very well too, she likes to stand on the bottom floor and it holds her! I bought her some more people and another horse for it. I still can't believe how good she is doing with it. I'm sure it will be her favorite toy for quite some time!
