I gotta say, this magnetic theatre, 'Kurucha Ryaba', is a total game changer for our little one. At first, it didn't capture her attention, but when she grew tall enough to reach it, she fell in love. The packaging is designed to look like a house with a window, which is already pretty cool and makes you want to play.

My sister-in-law gave our kid this magnetic theatre, 'Kurucha Ryaba', when they were around two years old. Now you can find it in various online stores for about 250 rubles. At first, the toy didn't really capture our daughter's attention, and it ended up in a box until better times. Then the pandemic hit, and we went to the dacha, so we basically forgot about it - and we had plenty of other things to keep us entertained. When our daughter turned three, she suddenly grew tall enough to reach the box and get whatever she wanted inside - playdough, dominoes, soap bubbles... 'Ryaba' somehow resurfaced and became her new favorite. So, I figured it was time to write a review, given how much she loves it!

The packaging is designed to look like a house with a window, which is already pretty cool and makes you want to play:

On the back, there are all these great claims from the manufacturer - it's a great way to develop character, and it fosters creative self-expression, and who knows what else it's good for! :D

Even the sides have some useful stuff - storage instructions, age rating, 'wipe with a cloth', the manufacturer's website, and so on...

Age - three years and up. I actually gave it to her a bit earlier, but only under close supervision, to avoid any biting.

Inside, there's a piece of paper with a fairy tale - you know, just in case some parent has forgotten this timeless piece of Russian folklore:

The characters and some of the interior items are inserted into frames, like a puzzle:

What I love about this game is the variety - you can play theater, act out a story, put together a puzzle, or even just build a house. And let me tell you, my kid's little motor skills are getting a workout trying to fit all the tiny pieces into their respective slots! It's also a great way to keep them occupied while I'm cooking dinner. I'll be chopping veggies, and my daughter will be running back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, sticking the characters onto the fridge and reenacting their adventures. It's like a little idyll (sadly, it only lasts about 10 minutes :D) The toy itself is well-made, with sturdy, soft details that don't break easily. The illustrations are beautiful, clear, and colorful, with nice proportions - it's a feast for the eyes (I'll have to post a pic of the inflatable bath book 'Repka' I grabbed in a hurry - ugh, what a mess!). The only tiny drawback is that the house has a little gap where you're supposed to insert the puzzle frames (I guess to keep them from rattling around and looking messy): To be honest, my daughter and I both struggle to get the frames in, and the house doesn't close properly - which is a bit annoying for my perfectionist side. But if you're not too fussy about details, just ignore it and have fun! : D
