Lol! I must have gotten lucky with DD's age, she was 6 months first time so couldn't get it (it's in a separate room than we're normally in), then 18 months so past the destructive stage. DS though will be 14 months next year, I'm guessing he may take a crack at it!
your dd was past the destructive stage by 18 months? lucky you!

I haven't got mine yet, but thinking about getting a tree today. We will have it on a table, but i don't think this will stop DS from playing. He was attracted to the kinder tree and decorations.
