Great little cooking set
My 3 year old daughter loves this set.And it is such a cute version of the real thing.She's got a little kitchen and so many other plastic pots and pans but this set really takes most of her playtime.
As for durability, I would say the pans are in great shape.Though, the spatula handle separated when my daughter decided to play "drums" with her pan and spatula.The utensils are not themselves "bendable" but quite sturdy except for the fact that the spoons and ladles MAY separate from their handles if used in cases such as above.And most kids love to bang these things around.
Each pan is about 9.5cm in diameter. The utensils are about 15cm long.
I definitely prefer these to the plastic vessels as they are close to the real things that kids go digging for in a regular kitchen cupboard.

Ok, but not great
This was given to my 3 year old 5 months ago.So far she has had a ton of fun with it.At this point, it is still in good condition. One day she will bend the utensils and then it will break.It is a great set if your child is gentle with their toys, if they are rough with their things don't get this set.

Broke apart after a month of use
I bought this for my 3 yr old daughter for Christmas and the utensils broke apart at the handle which my child could have choked but she brought it to me. The pots are ok but the pan handles also broke off. I would not reccommend this toy at all. ... Read more

My 3 year old loves "catching" these butterflies!
My daughter just got this toy yesterday for Christmas and this is the only thing she's played with all morning. She likes to "catch" the butterflies in the net and put them in the jars. The pony's very cute as well, but I think she's more into the butterfly net! Very cute pony set.

Perfect for any pony lover
This is the cutest pony, she is pnk and has a butterfly on her cutie mark.She comes complete with a butterfly net, three jars and four butterflys to put in the jars.She also has butterfly hair clips.A must have for anyone who loves ponies. ... Read more

But the toy for the look - not the sounds
My little daughter loves horses. When I saw this item on Amazon's features I bought it. It is a fun toy that two months later she still plays with. My only complaint is that the feet stopped making sounds after the first day of use. I changed the batteries (which are round photo-type batteries) but it did not help. It looks to me as though the feet can't take the beating of a four year old. Other than that it is a good product.

Tip for Out of Stock
I got the horse and the dinosaur.They are great toys!Well made and the sound effects are incredible.These are for Christmas gifts and we cannot wait to give them to our daughter and her little neighbor friend!Noticed they are out of stock.Still available on Walmart.com.No, I don't own stock there.Just know how it is when you need THAT gift.Good luck!

Yee Haw
after my daughter got the fairy version, we got the horse getup for our 4 yr old son.he runs in it, walks in it, sleeps with it.he is having a blast pretending to be race horse.the sounds, especially the clip clop feet, are realistic and really get him excited to play.it is one of his friends favorite toys, too.the other day, we were having friends for dinner, and he pretended to be a horse for about an hour.of course, we have a lot of fairy and horse (often at the same time) play around the house now. ...

My daughter loves it
We bought this for my 3 year old daughter and she will play with it for hours.She loves the wide selection of clothes and accesories. And great for mom she can put all the clothes on by herself.The only concern I had is how small the stuff is, but by having her play on her table or on a clean floor we've been able to loose only a couple pieces.Not every child can put the clothes on though because her friend always asks me for help.My favorite thing about it is it all fits in the little closets and closes up for easy storage.

Neat set, cool girl, freak guy!
I really like the shop and the clothes but the boy is weird! The guy is creepy! Like that girl said Rick and the other guy are cute but he's sick. His hair is stiff and his clothes are dorky! Now the Polly is so cute! I love her hair and clothes. My favorite outfite is the dress-like top and the purple capris. The one (of two)problems with this set is the guys side of the store! Mattel can make the boy side not so girly. But overall this rocks!

polly?
Gosh they're making polly turn into some kind of boy lovin freak.I mean atleast Stven and Rick were cute this guy looks like something from a horror film.And what's with the hair why put it all stringy like that.It's going to get messed up after you get it wet and get it all tangled. I mean color changing hair on dolls! What's polly coming to !!?!!?!?!?!!?1?!?

Maybe I won't be buying any more polly stuff after this product. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Little ones learn what it's like to grocery-shop with this role-playing toy from Toys "R" Us. Load up the brightly colored shopping cart or shopping basket with make-believe groceries, or ring up purchases at the cash register. The microwave has working sounds and lights, while the checkout conveyor belt is accompanied by a scanner and a microphone. The set contains more than 90 pieces including milk, eggs, cereal, salad dressing, and ketchup. Accessories come housed in a clear vinyl backpack. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

JUST SO SO
I brought this for my niece's 3rd birthday.Although she likes the microwave and little cash register.The shopping cart was a big disappointment.We also had to use super glue like a pervious reviewer said and the wheels kept falling off.After 2 days of fustration I went out and brought her another brand shopping cart.

mmmm...its ok....
i like the kitchen part (im 7) but the cart is a 0 and if it came with a counter kitchen thing it would been better.

Great realistic toy!!!
this toy has been a great experience for my two kids. i bought it for my 5 year old, but my older child, 8.5 enjoys it just as much. This package gives your child a real life like experience of what shopping is really like. now everytime i go to the store, my kids want to come with me. Although, the cart is not the sturdiest. i've warned my kids not to climb on the cart because the wheels are starting to look wabbally.

But overall we absoulutley LOVE this toy! My kids havent put it down since we got it!!! :D ... Read more

Not what is advertised at all!!!!
I bought three of these from two different stores.All three shared the same problem:they do NOT do what they are advertised as doing.First, in the instructions included in the box, it says the ATM says 'Hi, and welcome back'.Not one of the twelve in the store did that, as did not the three I bought hoping to find a good one.Further, not ONE of the three would recognize a bill had been inserted, OR even let you add a bill using the 'bill' buttons on the top.My son and I both were thrilled with the IDEA of such a product, which is why it got two stars....for performance, it gets none.

Not great for older kids
I bought this ATM today and was little disappointed.It was really annoying. Everytime you push a button it makes a weird spacy sound.You don't need a PIN number like a real ATM.The combo is difficult to turn and you can't change it when your sister finds out the number.The dollar amount is hard to enter. It's not like the directions.I really wanted something more like a real ATM.I recommend this toy for kids between 5 through 9 (I'm 11).

Big Hit!
We have not had the bad luck with this toy that others posting seem to have. My 9-year old son got this for his birthday and loves it. The other kids all wanted one too, and every parent wanted to know where I had gotten it. It was a big hit and he is keeping track of his money like never before! ... Read more

Excellent toy but you have to rig the volume or it's QUIET
This is an excellent toy and my daughter loved it so much in the store that my husband bought it for her when he was out alone with her. He threw away the packaging and didn't notice the insert that says when you pull the tab out of the back, the volume will get softer- the louder volume as heard in the store is just for demonstration, and the quieter volume when you pull the tab out is to protect children's ears- it's NOT a defect, Fisher Price designed it this way.

The problem is that once you pull the tab you can BARELY hear the phone. It's so quiet that the room has to be very, very quiet in order to hear it- if the television is on in the background or the dishwasher etc- you can't hear the phone. My daughter still seemed to love it but it drove me nuts because it really is EXCESSIVELY quiet to the point of it being very hard to hear at all. Let me add that my daughter does NOT play with this toy by putting it up to her ear- it is at arm's length when she plays with it. I "fized" the volume back, and if she ever stars to put it to her ear like e real phone I'll un-fix it. But trust me, this phone is barely audible even in a quiet room when placed up to your ear- I am all about protecting my baby's ears but this is TOO QUIET, Fisher Price!

Like many others here before me, I cut a small strip off of a flexible paper-thin plastic card- I used an old Sam Goody Replay card. You can also use the original tag you pullled out of the toy if you still have it. What you need specifically is a thin strip of a card that is plasticy yet thin so it will fit through the little slot on the back of the phone in the top left area. If the card is not flexible it will not weave back through the hole (i.e., I don't *think* you could use a credit card and I'm not sure something xompletely paper would work....ideally find something soft and plasticy but flexible- it has to be strong enough not to scrunch when you stick it in the hole or it won't go, but not too hard or it....wont' go!)

This fixed the phone back to the way it originally was, and my daughter loves it. I agree- Fisher Price should have put a volume control on the phone, or they could have just made the phone a LITTLE less loud but not NEARLY as quiet as it gets when you remove the tab.

I recommend watching, especially younger babies, how your child plays with this phone and if they DO keep it pressed to their ears like a real phone, maybe considering leaving the volume alone. But if they play with it like my 1 year old, in their lap, then fix the volume so it sounds like all their other toys- after all, all my daughter's other toys are loud enough to be heard. Over and out!

No good.
I got this phone for my son but you can barely hear it.I was at Walmart trying it out at lunchtime and it sounded clear and loud and great.Then I brought it back to my office after lunch and was going to call some of the guys and joke around it but you could barely hear the phone.I figured it was broken.Then I saw on the printed instructions that it says the volume is lower when its taken out of the package.I cant believe Fischer Price couldnt take the time to write that on the OUTSIDE OF THE package.My son can barely hear it and its really not worth the money.
One good thing did come out of this, I wrote a complaint letter to Fischer Price and they sent me a check to use towards another toy in the amount I paid for the elmo phone.

Fixed volume and is now more fun!
I also had the same gripe about this toy when I bought it. At first my daughter was in love with this toy at the store but as soon as we got it home and removed it from the package Elmo's phone became more like a hearing test for hawks. It was very low. Still she played with it and loved it but has slowly lost her interest over time since she can't really hear Elmo's voice that well. I just followed Mrs' Fix It's directions (a few reviews back) to get the volume back up and it worked!! So if you have the toy I recommend doing this for volume and if you want to buy it I would like to warn you that the volume is very low. If you do buy it, cause it is a great little toy and get sick and tired of not being able to hear Elmo then try Mrs. Fix It's trick. Note!! Be forwarned... Listen to the volume it's set at IN the packaging and decide if you want it to be that loud cause that's what it will sound like if you tinker with it. ... Read more

very excited
i bought this item for my daughters b day and is absolutelly adorable. i read the one review that it had received but decited to get it anyways because it mached with the badger crib which is awsome. well the stroller is pretty sturdy the basket is not super strong but is for dolls. my 3 year old and one year old love this toy is been a great buy and is a great toy for the money.

Cute, but poorly made
I bought this for my daughter, who was 3 last Christmas.I was very disappointed when opened the box.It's made out of paper, and is not very durable at all...definitely not for active little girls!The bottom of the basket is made out of cardboard.The paper basket bends and gets holes in it very easlily.It is also very difficult to maneuver. The plastic wheels make it hard to turn without the whole thing turning over!We had to throw it away because it had fallen apart.Very cute for a doll collector, maybe, but not sturdy enough to be a child's toy.We're looking for another stroller this year...save your money and buy one that will last! ...

pony salon!
This is a fun toy, but it is too small for the ponies, soit is not that fun.But, overall, it is a good toy!

Daughter loves this salon
This was $10 at our local dollar store.My 2 yo daughter received this for Christmas as well as the Celebration Castle.She loves both of them very much.The Salon is nice because it is small & portable.My daugher just stuffs it full of ponies & carries it around with her.A good deal at $10.

not made well
I bought this toy based on the reviews from other people.It looks really cute in the package, but the accessories are made cheaply.The brushes don't stay in place.The closet rod keeps coming off if you barely bump it.My daughter played with it all of 10 minutes and then was bored because there was so little to do with it.Plus, the hair dryer/sink didn't work very well.The hair dryer kept getting caught.Save your money on this one.On the positive side, the pony is very cute and your kids can use their imagination with the pony all sorts of places. ...

Great gift for 4-5- or 6
I have seen this item in a ToyRUs Store and I can't for the life of me see why they have discontinued carrying it.I have been trying to obtain one for my six year old grand-daughter but can only get it on the Internet.It's a great toy, makes a great gift (I've given one before)and at a great price.I shall continue to search for it.

my little veterinarian
My three year old just got this for Christmas.It was a huge hit.She loves animals and this was perfect.The syringe is nice but the working stethoscope is her favorite -it makes a heart beat sound.Also comes with a small dog to practice on. She also loved the cute jacket (has animal print around the cuffs and dog bone buttons). ... Read more

Cute toolbox, but it could use some changes
I bought this for my 2 year old Bob the Builder fan. It is difficult to use the toolbox to hammer into, but if you turn it on it's side your builder can hammer all day long. It's a little tight at first, but after you hammer a couple of nails and pull them out it gets easier. I like this toolbox because its a little more difficult for little hands. My son has to really think about hitting the nails and turning the wrench and screwdriver, but he can do it. This set looks real and my son loves that. If he sees his daddy using tools he will go get his tools so he can help. Some kids might get frustrated with it, but I think that it's teaching fine motor skills.
We love it

Dangerous and Difficult Toy
Although it is a neat concept, we don't let our son(s) play with this anymore (and haven't since a week after we purchased it). The screwdriver is a hard, sharp wooden tool that could really be dangerous if he slips or falls on it. Also, we hammered in one of the "nails" and even my husband couldn't get it back out again. There are lots of other "tool kits" out on the market and for safety's sake, I would suggest choosing something else.

very limited
My son LOVES most construction toys and barely touches this one. While there are "nails" and "washers and screws", they are awkward to use on the toolkit - mainly for lack of space. Very cute, though, just not terribly practical.

Editorial Review

Polly and her friend Steven are hitting the road for a day of, apparently, scooter riding and snack consumption. Besides posable figures of the adventurers themselves, this set features purple and blue rolling scooters and a snack stand setup, complete with tables and chairs. As with any self-respecting doll set, there are plenty of accessories included to round out the couple's day and enable a variety of pretend-play situations. Thoughtfully, Steven and Polly's outfits match their scooters (blue for him, purple for her) and, mindful of safety, are equipped with helmets. Are Polly and Steven just friends or is there something more going on here? That's not ours to say. We were impressed by this set's versatility and the ease with which the figures can interact with their gear. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

Very Nice.
I really enjoyed this toy. Although, the boy is not the best-looking, it was an amusing toy. I got it for my 10th b-day, and I was excited because I got the Skate Date as well. They were a great pair, and for polly starters, you might want to buy these two together.

i am so gonna get it!!!!
first of all i am a polly pocket fan and i collect all of them so that me and my younger sister can play... so cool! i just hope this one will have all the clothes and both scooters not in the pastel colors, but in the one featured on the net... anyways have a fun time wid them!!

Polly Scooters
This toy is pretty cool. The only thing I dislike is how hard it is to keep the people on the scooters without holding on to them. What I do like is how you get to people instead of 1,the colors of the scooters are pretty if you get the set with pastel scooters like I did,and how the boy in the set has brown hair and thats pretty rare. And just to let you know if you already have purcased the polly scooter packages, the girl in this one is the same one. I also would like to say that the snack stand is cardboard but its still pretty durable. ... Read more
