This set is in a convenient box and has many many little detailed pieces. My 4 year old loves designing different types of houses! There are even great little pets that hang out in the windows and on the porches! My kiddo loves letting the pets roam around the yard and check out all the features she places, which leads me to think she'd really love more living creatures to inhabit these places. This would be a great travel toy because you can't play with it unless it's in the box. Everything sticks in there. The one gripe I have is that it looks like there are 4 different cards to play with, but there are only 2 cards front and back, and they all fit inside the box, so you can only really look at one at a time, 2 cards max if you spread it out on another magnetic surface like a fridge. Not a big deal, but just a little crowded when trying to play.
