My daughter bought this with her birthday gift card. I thought e dogs and Barbie were perfect. I'm a little disappointed with the poor quality of the fence and slide. Barbie accessories are not of the same quality as the Barbies. The old saying, " they are not made like they used to be".
My daughter got this for her 5th birthday and loves it. She has invented many stories using it and cannot stop playing with it. I would say that the big dog does not always work with the Barbie clapping but does with my daughter doing the clapping herself. The clapping might be difficult for a younger child to coordinate as it needs to be reasonably loud. A fun Barbie toy.
My Grand daughter opens this gift for Christmas, only to find out that it is missing fence pieces and the dogs don't work. I am probably never buying these Barbie play parks or whatever they offer. I am upset because this was her only gift from us. I am hoping Mattel makes it right.
