hi, would it be suitabke for a two and a half boy or woukd it be too easy for hum¿

The toy is recommended for 3+, I bought it for my son for his 2nd birthday. he loves it. It helps develop fine motor skills Also behind each door is a picture with animals to help teach them to count. The quality is fantastic for the money also.

Does anyone else find the number 1 latch is so stiff, it's even difficult for an adult to open? Just wondering whether to ask for a replacement.

No 2 is a little stiff for us but it's not that bad. No one is ok. X

Does the zip part come apart completely? I want my daughter to practice putting the zip together as she is fine with the zipping up bit. Thanks

My granddaughter was given her Board on Saturday for her birthday - she is now 3. The zip could be put together and pulled apart. Her skills with the Board will develop and she gets older.

Would you recommend this as an activity toy to bring on a flight? We have a 9 hour flight coming up with our 20 month old.

Hi! I think you would be better off with smaller, lighter activities without loose pieces. Hand puppets, Water Wows or other coloring activities, and/or small vehicles are better suited to air travel with a little one. Enjoy your adventure!
