Latest in the line of Naturally Playful play houses from Step 2.  Our testers gave this cottage a thumbs up for ease of set up (although they recommend that the optional use of a drill made it much easier to put together), pretend possibilities (the house comes with a built in kitchen, doorbell, phone, and half door that fun for opening and closing). Our testers commented that  the picture shows flowers in the windowbox but does not come with flowers and does not have a drainage hole in case you want to plant real flowers or plants for your kids to enjoy.  You can certainly add a drainage hole with a drill or use potted plants--or shall we say it, fake flowers!  Even with this drawback, they gave the cottage high marks for engaging kids--who did not want to leave the playhouse to play with other toys!  Older toddlers and preschoolers really love having a space that's scaled just right for them..and even to point out that you don't fit!!
