My 6-year old daughter loves exchanging letters with her own little fairy, Violet. They write about tea parties, visiting Tinkerbell and picnics. Violet has had to explain to her that she's not Santa though, and will not be bringing her presents every week! Now that that's clear, my daughter enjoys reading and writing letters, just like I used to back in the day when "pen pals" existed. I'm looking forward to building on the set with the garden, bicycle and picnic table - it's all very cute, and the finish is of good quality.
