My 1 1/2 year old daughter just received this as a gift and she loves to make it play "Away in a Manger". This is a very durable toy, like all Little People products. I am grateful that companies take time to make toys that help our children learn about our Savior, Jesus Christ. Although she is too young to understand the Christmas story right now, this toy will be around for a long time to help her father and I teach her about Jesus' birth. Have a Blessed Christmas!
