I bought 25 of these buckets to give as favors at my daughter's birthday party - it was a Little Mermaid theme, but with all the boys in attendance I was looking for a gender neutral favor that they'd actually use. These were great! We've been using them off and on for 4 months now and they have held up wonderfully. Items like this are priced at least $ 2-3 higher in discount stores. In addition, all the parents were pleased that they didn't go home with a bag full of crap.(that would have cost me at least $4 anyway).It doesn't easily all fit back together -- that would be an added bonus, but we haven't lost any pieces yet.
my daughter plays with it even know its cold out side
