Nice idea, not the best execution
Due to the small size of the many pieces, this toy is DEFINITELY not for children under 3; I would even say 4 or 5 would be better. Many plastic pieces that must be somewhat assembled first; since they are small and plastic, I would recommend an adult do the assembly first to get the handle of it and then show the child the different play options. The directions are all picture diagrams; no words. And, as the package states, colors and play pieces do vary. Even on the pics on amazon, the water stream for the sewer component is 2 different colors. Still, lots of moving pieces that could allow a child with imagination to create fun playtime for quite awhile. Additional figures would add to the fun factor. I do like the carrying case idea; it just appears that there wasn't enough testing that occurred to make sure this toy took full advantage of everything it could. These kind of remind me of the old game "Mousetrap."
