Olivia 2 - in 1 Playset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my daughter's new favorite toy. On the one side, Olivia's house comes with furniture and appliances, plates of food and minor accessories like a book, a lamp, etc. It is cute and fun and my daughter absolutely loves playing with and arranging the furniture "just so" and moving Olivia around.
On the other side, though, is where the adventure begins. The pirate ship is the highlight (as far as my daughter is concerned) of the toy. She can sail the Seven Seas with Olivia (complete with pirate hat and eye patch), a treasure chest, treasure map and parrot. My daughter has so much fun switching from house to pirate ship, and back again. This is such a fun toy both for my daughter and for myself....it's fun to get caught up in playing with my daughter when we've got this playset out.
Now for the cons: I do agree with one of the other reviewers above in that it is kind of disappointing that this playset only comes with Olivia. We went and bought Olivia's family to go with this playset, but it would have been nice if we didn't have to do that. Also, on the pirate side, the palm tree is made of cardboard. Putting the palm tree in its little slot (to stand it up) and then removing it again over and over.....well, this palm tree lasted a week before my daughter ended up ripping the leaves from the trunk. It would have been nice if the palm tree had been made of plastic (like every other accessory in this playset.) It would have been more durable and certainly would have looked better. If I had thought of it, I would have had the palm tree laminated before I gave it to my daughter.
Overall, this is an excellent toy for fostering imaginative play and has provided both my daughter and me with hours of playtime and has given me some special memories of playing with my daughter that I will cherish. I don't necessarily consider this an "educational" toy per say, but the "fun factor" of this playset is absolutely out of this world. Even after she outgrows this toy, I will probably hang on to it for sentimental reasons. :-)
