My daughter loves the story of the three little pigs. I haven't actually given her the gift yet as it is for her birthday. The quality seems good and I'm sure she will enjoy it.

I purchased this play set, along with a Three Little Pigs board book, for my daughter's first birthday. I love that the houses are soft, and that the figures are an appropriate size for little ones! My daughter can grasp them easily, but they are large enough that I don't have to worry about them becoming choking hazards.
The pigs are clothed (actually painted) in colors and numbers that match their respective houses. The pigs are also in graduated sizes corresponding to graduated sizes of the houses. Early on (before real imaginative play "kicks in"), this set works well for teaching matching concepts using size, color, and numbers.
My 4-year-old actually loves this set as well! He pilfered it from his baby sister on the first day. :) The set comes with a "story sheet" that has a rendition of The Three Little Pigs story. He has me read from the sheet while acts out the story using the figures and the houses. He's done it over and over again for his two younger siblings, his dad...and anyone else who will sit still to watch what he calls his "Play." This shows me the toy will have long-lasting appeal, and its uses will evolve as my daughter grows.
Overall, this is a great toy! It seems very durable, it's comparatively eco-friendly (the cloth houses, at least), educational, and versatile. This is definitely one of the better toy purchases I've made!

It arrived in one piece. However, one of the pigs was stray in the box moving all over.
Very Cute and Fun imaginative toy

I bought this for my 8 month old son. I also bought the 3 Little Pigs Board book to read along with the set. The houses, pigs and wolf are very cute. The pigs squeak and the wolf actually puffs air when squeezed. The houses nest very neatly and seem to be well made. The houses and pigs make reading the story very fun and keeps my son's attention a bit better than reading alone. I think the toy is a bit advanced for an 8 month old, but it is fun to play with while we read. I think as he becomes more independent and imaginative he will play with it more. Very happy with my purchase.
