I think my son would probably carry the people around or scatter them everywhere. If there are buttons to push that make sound, he would like that. I think it's a good option! Something she'll grow into and plus you like it too! I find that if I like DS's toys, it's more fun for me to sit with him and play with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152524 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 09:29:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 1152524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO plays with a similar doll house at the house I babysit at. She knows which things make noise or songs and presses them and loves it! She obviously doesn't pretend play yet but likes to play with it in her own way :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152402 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:47:18 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1152402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I think she would have fun with it, even if she doesn't understand how to play with it. Plus, I looked at toys that she would be able to play with until next Christmas. (PS, That play set is adorable and I just might have to get one for DD now!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152396 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:43:57 +0000 Beyond2 1152396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 13 month old son and while he wouldn't play with it as a house, he'd definitely press buttons and he loves carrying around little figures so I could see this working! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152393 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 08:42:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1152393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she would use it, we are getting DD (she will be 14 months) some Little People stuff for Christmas too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152199 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 07:15:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1152199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C got the little people Disney princess castle for her first birthday and ha always plate with it! Sometimes she pushes the little people around in her stroller haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152188 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 07:04:36 +0000 Smurfette 1152188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I want to play with it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152165 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 06:39:42 +0000 looch 1152165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son played with a similar house at my inlaws, we were looking for something a little less pink for him, but in the process, he lost interest in it. He's almost 3 now and role plays pretty well, I would say it was around 18 months when it clicked and he realized what he was supposed to do with the figures and the houses or barn or whatever he was into. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152126 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 06:02:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1152126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't until much closer to age two that my daughter really used imagination to "play" with things like that. Like @SugarplumsMom: said. She may play with the people but not the way intended before that. </p> <p>We decided to invest in some other LP sets (she loves the school with the swing, the bus, and the barn). We will invest in a normal dollhouse when she's a bit older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1152042 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 01:18:50 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1152042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: At 12 months, my DD would have just thrown the figures. Now at 15.5 months, she would probably try to hug the figures (she likes to "hug" small animals) and then proceed to hide them throughout the house. I'd end up playing with it :happy: Hopefully within the next few months, my LO will start to put things back instead of just finding joy in scattering things everywhere. I really like small toys, and I think she does too, but right now, it's too much of a hassle finding/organizing them everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1151983 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:11:18 +0000 lemondrop 1151983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we got the Little People Zoo for C's first birthday- he liked to just hold the animals for the first few months, then he started figuring out he could do things with them after, moving them around, putting them in cars, activating the noise areas.</p> <p>Right now (21 months) his favorites are the school bus and airplane, he knows how to roll them around and loves to put all sorts of random things inside. My nephews are almost 3 and they still like playing with the Little People toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1151964 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 22:44:43 +0000 Running Elley 1151964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she'd use it at a year! It's adorable!! My LO got a Little People tractor thing for his birthday and he loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1151941 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 22:08:59 +0000 MamaCate 1151941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They had a house like this in LO's toddler room and it seemed to get a decent amount of use. She is now 22 months and we have some LP toys that she uses from time to time. I agree that having noises/other attractions would be helpful, but I think it is a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1151939 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 22:04:17 +0000 stargal 1151939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P is 15 months and he would prob play with it a little but not in the convential way. Does it make noise or anything? P has a little weebles house that make noise and lobes pressing the button </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1151934 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 21:55:37 +0000 rawrasaur 1151934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That (well the purple version) is what we are getting A for Christmas! She will have just turned one. It was on sale on Amazon a while back. They may not be able to play with it in the conventional way at that age, but I'm sure they will play with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1151930 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 21:50:14 +0000 immabeetoo 1151930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I just asked my sister about this, she said my nieces started playing with LP around 12 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-gift-question-for-mamas-of-los-over-1#post-1151929 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 21:49:09 +0000 photojane 1151929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In case you didn't read the last Christmas post -- Sadie will be 10 months at Christmas, so I'm trying to put together a wishlist that will work for Christmas and her first birthday (February). I'm trying to stick to toys that will last her through her first year (ideally we won't need to buy any new toys before next Christmas), and preferably even longer than that. Y'all already gave me some great options!</p> <p>I was finishing up my list for my MIL tonight, and I found an adorable little FP Little People house. It's so cute, I kind of just want to play with it myself. It says 12 months-4 years, which is ideal (4 years of play!), but I'm wondering if Sadie will actually be able to enjoy it at 12 months. Is this something your one-year-old would be into? Or should I wait for her second Christmas for toys like this? </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Little-People-Happy-Sounds/dp/B00CDGA68U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1381890900&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=fisher+price+little+people+house" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Little-People-Happy-Sounds/dp/B00CDGA68U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1381890900&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=fisher+price+little+people+house</a> </p> [attach=1879/13/muqqhy.600x450.FPLP.jpg]
