Timber Tots Tree House (Fat Brain Toys)

– The classic Timber Tots are back, reimagined with new colors, features, and accessories!

– Press the button at the top of the tree and – POP! – the whole thing opens up to reveal a cozy little home hidden inside.

– There’s a fireplace, a living space, and plenty of furniture to make the whole place feel wonderfully inviting.

– Take the elevator down to the roots and step outside where there’s a tree swing, a shrub with a secret hiding spot, and a car for taking critters to town.

– But the best part – All the included critters and accessories can be stored inside the treetop and the whole thing snaps shut, ready to be carried away wherever you go!
