The Little Tikes First Washer-Dryer is a pretend washer and there are electronics that cannot get wet, so we would not recommend the use of water with this toy. Set up and assembly only took five minutes and then it was time for the fun to begin! The machine opens and the drum actually rotates. There are four different cycles with realistic sounds and a washing up liquid compartment that opens and closes. There are also many cool accessories included; washing baskets for sorting, washing up liquid and even mini clothes to be washed. A product's "Manufacturer's Age" range on Toysrus.ca & Babiesrus.ca is provided by the product's manufacturer. This suggested age range may be based on what age range the manufacturer recommends will like the product best, or what age range is appropriate based on safety information and restrictions. div class="bvseo-author">Answered by: Little Tikes Expert
