The Light-Up Learning Garage is the Little People set most toddlers end up with: two levels, a ramp that cars roll down, a hand-cranked elevator, a car wash, lights and songs that teach colors and counting, plus two figures and a car to start. Every other Little People vehicle in the house ends up parked in it.
It is the Christmas gift for a one to four-year-old, the birthday present for a kid who lines up cars on the windowsill, and the set new parents are glad takes a corner of the living room rather than the whole floor.
Ages 1 and up, batteries included for the lights and songs. It folds up for storage with the figures inside. Under fifty dollars for a playset that lasts the whole toddler stretch.
