Rose Petal Cottage

Little girls love to pretend play.  “Playing house” is one of the oldest pretend play games there is, and most parents can remember playing that particular game when they were kids.  There is nothing better to exercise the imagination than pretend play, and the best toys for girls encourage them to engage in this type of imaginative play.

The Dream Town Rose Petal Cottage by Playskool is one of the best toys 2008.  Girls will love the sweet, pretty colored design and spend hours playing in a little house that’s all her own.  She can even decorate it herself if she wants to.

The Rose Petal Cottage comes with two halves of the house and an oven.  The walls are made of fabric, so the house is very light weight and easy to move around.  She can put the two walls together and play inside, or she can put them side by side.  She can even place them across the room from each other, and use every bit of space between and inside the two halves of the house as her own home space.  When she’s not using it, one half is just slightly small than the other half so that they can be nested for temporary storage.  The best toys of 2008 are toys that are good for parents as well as kids, and it is certainly good for parents that they can move this house out of the way after little girl is in bed for the night.

You can also buy Rose Petal Cottage accessories and additional furniture for your daughter’s house.  There are several pieces of furniture available for separate purchase, and more products are being added to this line all the time.  Currently there is a table and chairs set for the kitchen, an easy chair, a sink, a washing machine, and a couple of different food play sets to use in the kitchen.

This is one of the best toys for girls because she can get all the pieces to furnish her own little home and spend lots of hours playing there. Like other top toys of 2008, there are many Rose Petal Cottage reviews from parents who have purchased this toy for their child or children.  They all have very positive things to say about the product and accessories.  For instance, the little oven actually opens so girls can “bake” up a storm.  The unit also has mesh-covered windows that open (and there are curtains included over the windows), and a working door.  The chimney has a vent in it, so even if your daughter decides to put the two halves together and stay in there for hours hosting a tea party, she will get plenty of air ventilation.

A particularly flattering Rose Petal Cottage review said that the cottage in constructed in a very sturdy way.  The fabric is quite tough and it is designed not to fall apart.  This is especially important if your little girl like to move the pieces around frequently.  Durability is a big concern because no one likes to have a heartbroken child when a favorite toy is broken.  It doesn’t seem like that is an issue with this toy, and that’s another reason why this is one of the top toys 2008.

When parents actually go to the trouble to write product reviews, it is because they are extremely happy or they are extremely upset.  There have been none of the latter that we could find.  The closest thing we found was one Rose Petal Cottage review that said since the whole thing is made of fabric attached to a frame, it can be tipped over if a child leans against one of the cottage walls.  This parent suggested that the house always be placed against a wall or other supportive surface.  The rest of the Rose Petal Cottage reviews we read were highly positive, and that is a very good sign for those thinking about buying it as a gift for their little sweetheart.
