I bought this for my granddaughter and also one for a neighbor girl. I filled the box with small trinkets, hair ties, string bracelets, lip gloss, a few dollars and candy gold coins and treated it as a treasure chest. I saw my granddaughter's interest and excitement while going through the tiny compartments and she's only 3. Since she has shown an interest recently in treasure chests, I thought she would like this and she definitely did!
