There are lots of small parts -- pirates, cannonballs and a crocodile that snap into place.This playset is best enjoyed with more than one person, kids and adults. They quickly incorporated other pirate toys and Matchbox cars and pulled me down on their floor rug, where we role played pirate adventures."Papa, watch out for the crocodile."The toy is durable but you can't abuse it. My wife and I intended this toy to be a traveling companion since it folds up in an easy-to-carry case. Once our two boys -- ages 5 and 4 -- opened it up, they were entranced for hours.
buuuuut after 2 months the toy woudn't close properly and the pieces (ramps) were breaking, falling off, and the closing latches fell off as well. My son got this present for his birthday and he LOVED it, played with it a lot, etc. Anyway, the toy is fun, the kids still play with it but it's not that well made and really isn't something that will last too long.
At first it opened and closed easily and we were amazed. Unfortunately, the thing disintegrated from there. But after about one week of (not especially rough)play, pieces started to fall by the day. My daughter requested this item for Christmas last year. The design is wonderful and the portability aspect was ideal. It is merely a skeleton of what it once was.If it only had held up it would be a wonderful toy. It was her number one priority gift. They don't make things like they used to:(
He and his 5 year old brother love the 3 demensional play area. Parents enjoy the easy pop up assembly and easy clean up since it all fits in to it's own carrying case. Carrying case also has room for the extra pirates I purchased. Birthday present for 3 year old grandson. Wonderful creative fun. It was great seeing the boys play quietly,createing pirate adventures and just having fun together.
He plays with it a lot. My 3 year old son loves this toy. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has small playing pieces that always get misplaced temporarily.
