Wooden Doorbell House – Portable Playset for Children | With Lock, Key & Little People | Fine Motor Skills | Age 3+

Ideal gift for my granddaughter, she really enjoys playing with it.

My 2 year old loved this! Would definitely recommend. My 4 year old also enjoyed using the keys to open the doors and playing with the little dolls.

Amazing for little ones that like to figure things out undo/redo things definitely recommend

I don't think this is a toy that will be passed down for generations as it will break, however my child loves it. The keys and key holes are very thin and difficult to operate, I assume this is for an older child 4+?

great

I bought this for my two year old. She loves opening the different doors with the keys, ringing the doorbells which are different for each door and playing with the little dolls making them visit one another and ring doorbells and then return them to their colour matching doors. Great for fine motor skill development (the keys).

Good value for money and great to help child with counting

Its definitely a toy that will grow up with them. My 18 month old loves ringing the bells and opening the doors. Obvious doesn't know how to use the keys yet, but will work them out soon enough and enhance the play even further. Used at a baby group that we go to and they all loved it, so bought it for myself. The little people in it are quite well made and anything can be put in it. Deceptively large inside. Expensive but a good purchase.

I recently purchased the Melissa & Doug Wooden Doorbell House for my child, and it has been a big hit! This toy is not only adorable but also highly interactive, making it a great choice for engaging playtime. The house comes with four colorful doors, each with its own doorbell sound and a lock-and-key set, which is a fantastic way to help kids develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. My child loves using the keys to unlock the doors, and the sound effects add an extra layer of fun. The figures included are sturdy and perfect for little hands, allowing for creative role-playing and storytelling. I also love that it’s made of wood, so it feels durable and can withstand plenty of playtime. One thing to note is that the compartments behind each door are a bit small, so it’s hard to store additional items inside, but it doesn’t take away from the fun. The only downside I’ve noticed is that the keys are a little tiny and can be tricky for younger kids to handle at first, but it’s something they quickly get the hang of. Overall, this is a great toy for encouraging imagination, problem-solving, and fine motor development. I highly recommend the Melissa & Doug Wooden Doorbell House if you’re looking for a fun, educational toy that will keep your child entertained for hours!

The item we received today, 2 of the doorbells don’t work

I bought this specifically for the purpose of storing our collection of Whittle People. We have about 30 of these wooden figures remaining (the dog chewed up a few before we got this to safely lock them up when not in use). Some Whittle People came with our Melissa & Doug Whittle World Plane and Luggage Carrier Set , Melissa & Doug School Bus Play Set , and Melissa & Doug Whittle World Train Platform Play Set . Plus, we have the Melissa & Doug Whittle World Accessory Bundle, Pack Of 3 , so there were lots of Whittle People looking for a place to live between adventures! Up to 10 of the adult size Whittle People fit in each compartment of this little house, so we have room for at least 10 more if we acquire more Whittle World people. This is the perfect storage container for the Whittle People: * It just makes sense for toy people to "live" in a toy house. * It is easy to retrieve all the people from the toybox at once as opposed to scavenging around for multiple small people. * It is easy for the real-live little ones to carry the house around from storage area to play area and back again. * Getting everyone safely "home" at the end of playtime becomes a game in itself. * It is a fun toy in its own right. * It is educational. My grandson and great-grandson are learning to identify the proper keys by their numbers and shapes, and they are developing their manual dexterity as they ring doorbells, unlock doors, and move their toy people in and out of the 4 "apartment" compartments. * It captures the interest of kids from ages 3 to 5 years. * It helps teach two house-keeping habits I want to pass on: 1) "A place for everything, and everything in its place" and 2) "Surfaces are for activities, not for storage". * The dog has been unable to figure out how to unlock this! Here is a helpful hint to encourage kids to explore the full potential of this toy and to preserve the sanity of adults in the vicinity. Give it to the children WITHOUT installing the battery at first. Otherwise they may become fixated on ringing the doorbells. Once they have thoroughly explored the silent features of this toy, you can install the batteries. Then the bells will add to the fun rather than being the primary function of the toy. I highly recommend the Melissa and Doug Wooden Doorbell House for children ages 3 to 5. It is sturdy. The designs on the four sides are appealing and have held up well despite being glued-on paper. It is fun. There are a lot of different ways to play with it. By encouraging the storage of the Whittle People inside of it, it keeps the playroom (which is also my living room) neater. I can't begin to tell you how much this has made my life easier. By the way, I was inspired to search for a house-shaped container for the Whittle People when I saw how willing my grandson and great-grandson were to put their Melissa & Doug Traffic Signs and Vehicles away in the VW Volkswagen T1 Camper Van Toiletry Wash Bag - Red - Multiple Color Options Available . This is a really great toy, but there are three things that would make it better: 1) A wooden chimney instead of the cheap-looking plastic one it has now. 2) Including four Whittle People figures instead of the play people that currently come with the Doorbell House. 3) A choice of ethnicity for the people. And the play people that came with this? I gave them away, still in their original packaging. They seemed more suitable for a traditional dollhouse than for this Doorbell House.
