What it is
Once again, Parents Magazine delivers a beautifully designed and crafted toy, reminiscent of more old-fashioned, classic toys. Raise the Roof Barnyard is a wooden barnyard playset filled with animals and engaging details that children will love.

Why it’s fun
Kids will really get a kick out of the colorful animals that range from traditional barnyard residents like cows and pigs to horses and dogs.

The little details like an actual working chute - drop a bead, turn the lever and the trough below is filled - will have kids entertained for hours.

Who’s going to love it
Preschoolers who are just mastering the recognition of animals and enjoy the song "Old McDonald," will love Raise the Roof Barnyard.

What to be aware of
The roof can literally be raised and removed in several large tiles, which is great for multiple little hands to play inside the barn together.

The working chute is more than just fun for the kids. It’s also a great way for preschoolers to begin learning the fundamentals of cause and effect.
