We purchased MY First Dollhouse by Plan Toys and all the room furniture for our twins' second birthday from Amazon--it was a huge hit and I highly recommend it for imaginative play, etc. Awesome dollhouse!! We also received several other accessories from friends--the playground being one of them. Of course, they both loved it and could barely stand to share it at times;however, they soon discoverd that the swing set was more work and frustration than it was worth. The toy does not stand up on its own when in use. It collapses and falls down when trying to get the dolls into the swings, etc. And forget about "pushing" the dolls on the swing. Because the toy is so poorly constructed, even with the most gentle of pushes,the whole set would just get knocked down...unless I was there to hold it up! I would overhear one of our daughters call out, "I got it!" only to have it fall down all over again. FRUSTRATING!! It's such a cool piece, though, and I wanted the girls to enjoy it, so I came up with a way to solve the problem.
SOLUTION:
1. Purchase a 9x13 piece of stiff felt from a craft store
2. Cut a piece of plywood the same size
3. Position swing set onto felt and mark where the four yellow posts rest,use an exacto knife to cut out the 4 small squares of felt
4. Hot glue the felt piece to the board, then drop a dollop of hot glue onto the four spaces cut out for the posts
5. Set the swing set back into position on the felt board, lining up the posts to the squares you cut out from the felt.
The toy is now sturdy as a rock and the girls can play with it independently now. Sure they still need help, at this age, getting the dolls into the swings--but once on--the girls can push the dolls on the swing and rings without knocking the whole thing down--and without me holding it up. It works so much better this way. It's solid now and ready for hours and hours of play! The sand box is fun and the see-saw is pretty cool, too! Good quality just poorly constructed.
