Manhattan Toy Put and Peek Birdhouse

This is the best put in and take out toy! I (and my daugh­ter) love that there is more than one way to take things in and out. At first my daugh­ter loved pulling the birds through the hole in the roof, then she learned how to open the door, and keep it open (this is a good one, the door flips closed if not held open this helps develop fine motor skills, I think.) And just recently she’s learned to open the roof, which is a bit trick­ier. She likes to put the birds and ANYTHING else that will fit in it and then peek at it through the clear end. She car­ries it around all day fill­ing and emp­ty­ing it with any­thing and every­thing. I like that you can see through some sides and not oth­ers so some of the con­tents remain a sur­prise to lit­tle seek­ers. The 4 birds are very cute and full of many tex­tures. They have a soft rat­tle which wouldn’t dis­turb any one sit­ting near you in pub­lic (but I think dif­fer­ent noises in each would be fun too, i.e. jin­gle, dif­fer­ent rat­tles, etc.) Still, this has been well played with for the past 9 months and I expect it will still be out for many more. I think it is welll worth the bit higher price tag. Man­hat­tan Toys are cre­ative, cute, and fun! Kudos!
