Perfect for my 3 year olds new interest in fairies! Door is great quality and the little mailbox is so cute. My daughter loves it and checks her mailbox every morning for a note or treat.

My six year old loves this fairy door. She got one for a birthday gift, and we ended up needing a replacement door, so we bought the exact same one. That's how much we love it. It encourages imagination, creativity, thoughtfulness, writing practice/skills, etc. My daughter loves leaving notes for Sophia, and then waiting for return notes to arrive.

As a teacher I know that it is important to get kids writing. When my step daughter was struggling with writing her letters properly we bought her a fairy door. I taught her the friendly letter format and she began a pen pal correspondence with "her fairy". It allowed us to focus on sentence structure, greetings, and closings. She was also able to practice letters, spelling, and developing and communicating her own thoughts which can be a bit difficult for young children in the context of a letter. I have recommended to other teacher friends to use this in their classrooms to get their students writing. I might recommend second or third grade and below. You may be able to enlist a well behaved 4th or 5th grader as a classroom helper to assist in writing letters back. The door is good quality, sturdy, and you simply hang it on the wall. It comes with fun little decals that my step daughter enjoyed decorating around the door with. The package also came with a book with the story of the Fairy that lives on the other side of the door and little stationary and fairy dust. This is a great idea.

As many before me, I did not receive the mailbox or fairy dust that the item description mentions AND is seen in the photo. The mailbox was the driving force for my purchase. The package I received didn't have a picture of the mailbox on it. I returned the package

Our two girls like these very much. They both asked for them for Christmas and we have been busy responding to their notes in our new role as fairies. It's amazing that the girls will tell the fairies their worries, problems, and fun things when they won't tell their parents. It's a great way to get information on school too.
