My nieces 7th birthday. She had a 'Barbie birthday' and we let her open my present first. She had 6 little girls coming over shortly, so getting her first playhouse was so amazing. There was squealing and lots of hugs. It has even been able to withstand her little brothers--age 5 and 2. This was very easy to put together and has been very sturdy. Thanks Mattel for making such quality toys.
My granddaughter saw the Beach House in an ad and immediately wanted to add it to her "Barbie Collection." I went online to Mattel and found it just before Christmas. It shipped and was received 4 days after the order! It's so fun to see the excitement on a child's face when opening a special gift. She has played with the Barbie Beach House ever since Christmas morning!
