Play Family Farm / "Mooooo!" That's the sounds that greeted a generation of children when they opened the barn door to the Fisher-Price Play Family Farm. Produced from 1965 to 1985, this classic play set gave little farmhands plenty to work with, including a farm family of four, a hen and rooster to perch in the loft and, of course, a cow to explain all the mooing. The Farm's innovative play-and-carry format also helped make it a hit. Kids could store everything inside the barn and silo, grab the handle, then carry the whole thing downstairs, next door--or even to grandpa's real farm! / Open the barn door to hear an authentic "moo-ing" sound! / Nello Williams / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / BATTERY-OPERATED. Batteries included. Instructions printed inside box. / For decorative use only. Not for children under 8. / [...] / handcrafted - dated 2008
