This is one of the cutest and most fun gifts I’ve played with in a while. I know two other friends whose little girls also received this for Christmas and they are just as excited. The teapot makes a pouring sound, which is a huge improvement over making your own sounds like I used to. It also teaches them to use “please” and “thank you” in addition to counting and a few other things. It comes with 2 teacups and 3 cakes for an awesome tea time experience.
