School House Play Set

For her birthday, my daughter received a school house play set similar to 'Little People.' (http://www.amazon.com/I-Play-G02355-Ipla y-Sunny-Schoolhouse/dp/B001R8PMFM)

I've noticed that the black 'paint' on the little peoples' shoes can come off - making marks on the slide and sandbox. This has me a little concerned because my daughter likes to put the little people in her mouth. (I'm working with her to stop, but it's still an ongoing issue.)

How do I go about getting safety information on this product? I could just put the 'people' away and have her use the few fisher price little people that she has instead....

Visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission at http://www.cpsc.gov/ to see if the toy has been recalled OR to report an unsafe product.

That is one set at dad's house , one at mum's house. Parents are Separated. The sneakers are also needed as part of the school uniform. Is it unreasonable to specify one pair of sneakers for school and one set for weekends/play. In essence that is 4 Pairs of sneakers.

There is nothing unreasonable about it at all. What I always did was take the old school shoes and turn them into the play shoes (as long as they still fit). Saves $$$$

Girls will love playing out scenes from the movie with this Princess Playset
Folds up for portable on-the-go convenience
Inspired the new animated Barbie movie, Barbie Princess Charm School

she is very mature and does great in school and also loves other more "age-appropriate" things such as Hilary Duff and Hannah Montana. But she is begging for a pretend kitchen set for Christmas and my husband says she's too old. I think we should foster her imagination and let her play school, house and other related games. Am I wrong?

What a loaded question.
Mom, you are definitely right. Children should be allowed to be children for as long as they can. Children develop and change at different rates and the fact that she can still enjoy her childhood should be celebrated.
I have 2 little girls (7 & 9) and I'm not sure Hilary Duff and Hannah Montana are age appropriate. They are far too grown up for their respective ages. Why do we want children to grow up so fast?
With this information age, they have lost a lot of their innocence already. Todays demands on our children far exceeds the demands placed on us 25 years ago. If she is able to escape the stress by playing pretend than that shows some maturity. Most adults do not know how to deal with today's pressures and resort to numbing themselves with alcohol.
Your child's brain is developing in the most amazing ways so why would you limit her or make her ashamed of something that is completely natural. Our first priority is to respect our children as separate human beings who are intellegent and have a sense of their own direction. If playing pretend is neither offensive to others or harmful than why all the fuss?

I was living at a house but now have an apt. Anyone know a good pad set? I play the old school four piece jazz set up.

Do you mean a practice pad kit, or an electronic kit? This is a decent practice pad set, and if you mean electronic then it just depends on your budget. The Yamaha DTXplorer is a good entry level kit.
