I have a 21 month old Teletubby fan who loves this. We had intended to get her the Home on the Hill playset, but saw this and felt it was probably more age appropriate. We were right. It is sturdy and chunky - perfect for little hands who have yet to develop a sensitive touch. The wheels on the Teltubbies backs are a good idea as it allows them to whiz down the slide beautifully (unlike the Bath Island where they always get stuck or fall off half-way down). We also like the rubbery antenae. These are apparently wonderful for teething when those, hard to reach, second molars are popping through. The different shoots and slides are great fun, even for Mums and Dads. Overall, I think it's a sweet little toy - perfect for the 12 to 24 month set. No, it isn't terribly educational: although there is cause and effect there, as well as hand/ eye coordination, and some imaginative play, although this age group aren't really quite up to that just yet; but do toys always need to be about teaching our children something? Why can't, every so often, a toy just be about having fun!
One slight observation my daughter would like mentioned, there only 3 beds and 4 Tellytubbies which in her own words is an "oh dear!". We've solved the problem by allowing one of the Teletubbies to take turns sharing her 'big girl' bed each night, but there really should have been 4. It would be nice to see the manufacturers correct this.
