Step back in time with this classic, the Three Pigs, and bring on the fun! The chubby pigs are the perfect size for a toddler's hand to squeeze and let out a squeak. They can hide in their color-matched soft homes with plenty of doors and windows to open and close to teach early prepositions like "in," out," " back" and "front." Kids love to stuff the big bad wolf (and all the pigs for that matter) down the chimney and watch him magically appear inside the house. Carry on little conversations with your pigs as your toddler chooses one to speak for too.

As a speech pathologist with Play on Words, I look for toys that have a lot to describe. Babies and toddlers' receptive language (understanding) has been outpacing their expressive language (actually saying words) as they hear and store new vocabulary words. But at 1 ½ years, they are entering the stage of their "vocabulary explosion" when they can actually learn several new words a day. As you are playing with your child and describing her action with the toy, your job is a lot easier when there is a lot to describe in terms of texture, sounds, color, size, and shape. Point out the straw, stick and brick houses, shiny, smooth and soft surfaces, big, little and medium--sized houses, match the colored houses to the pigs and talk about shapes.
wonderful toy!

My one year old daughter received this as a gift. While she is younger than the recommended age, she is having a great time with it. She likes moving the pigs into the houses, and the wolf down the chimney. She loves to hear the story and watch while the pigs are moved and the houses are blown down. Her 3 1/2 year old brother is throughly enjoying it as well. We also love that the houses and characters all stack inside each other, so it isn't very big to store.
Had no idea my 3.5 year old would like this

My 15 month old received this for Christmas and was not interested in it at all. However, my 3.5 year old can not get enough of it. I would have thought it too young for him, but apparently not. He acts out the 3 little pigs, he stuffs all kinds of things in the houses, he plays with the pigs in the bath, he organizes it all how it came. It has become one of his favorite toys.
great toy

I bought this for my 18-month old nephew. My niece (age 4) and daughter (age 5) had a great time "showing" the 18-month old how the toy "worked." A grand time was had by all! The toy is very cute and well made.

I originally bought this for my 1 year old for her birthday but her big sister loves it just a little more because she likes the three little pigs story. The pigs do squeek when you squeeze them but the wolf also has a hole at his mouth for his huffing and puffing. I love Melissa and Doug products and plan to keep this one in family for a long time. Very durable. But i did just buy it. Amazon is the better deal for this item because of free shipping and price. This is a toy they will play with for years. GREAT buy!!
