Having previously reviewed the Fisher Price Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Fly and Slide with Burton and Jenson, which proved to be very popular at the time as they had seen the TV show a few times, when I was asked a few weeks ago if I would like them to try out the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Soaps and Suds Carwash I figured it would be well recieved by the boys.
While Burton has been at school, Jenson has enjoyed playing with it by himself which is lovely to watch as normally Burton tries things out first before he gets a look in! Straight away he drove Mickey sat in the car up the moving ramp and into the car wash to clean it. He liked the fact that the car was then dried by a hairdryer – nice touch! Jenson also made sure that the car was full of petrol so that Mickey “can now drive really, really fast!“
The carwash set actually only comes with Mickey (see top photo) but because we have been sent some review items from the collection before, Jenson was able to combine the toys to also include Goofy, Minnie and 2 other Mickeys! And of course the infamous clubhouse.
This play set is very easy to use and states the reccommended age for using it is 2 years and up, which I feel is right. I was very pleased that the packaging was easy to open, and there were not too many uneccessary ties keeping the products in place (a pet hate of mine). The colours are lovely and bright and appealing to little ones and it is priced at £19.99. I do think this is maybe a little over priced, but there again you are paying for the brand and the name, so it will always sell and be popular. I think this would be a lovely gift for a Micky Mouse Clubhouse fan, but on its own it may not keep older children amused for too long. However, as an additon to the other items in the collection, it is very welcome and definately prolongs playtime and encourages inaginative play.
I was sent this item for the purpose of a review . All comments are honest and my own. I only allow my children to review items which are suitable and relevant to them.
