Fisher-Price Little People Play Family Houseboat

This is a vintage Fisher-Price Little People Play Family Houseboat, likely from the 1970s or early 1980s, designed for young children. The houseboat is constructed primarily from molded plastic in a vibrant, multi-color scheme. The hull is a prominent blue and white, with the white portion forming the main deck and cabin base. The lower cabin structure is a bright lime green, supporting an upper deck that is a darker blue. A smaller, white dinghy with a blue base is prominently featured on the rear of the upper deck. The cabin roof is white, featuring interactive elements such as a red-orange rotating seat, a yellow lever (possibly a steering mechanism or a crank for an internal feature), and a control panel with colorful decals depicting gauges and buttons. The front of the cabin proudly displays the 'FP' (Fisher-Price) logo in a stylized, playful font, accompanied by a blue anchor graphic, suggesting the model number 952. The overall condition shows signs of playwear consistent with its age, including visible scuffs, dirt accumulation, and minor fading on some surfaces, particularly the decals. There are no apparent major breaks or repairs, indicating good structural integrity for a well-loved toy. The plastic material retains much of its original color saturation, though areas of darker color, like the blue hull, may show more pronounced scuffing. This item exemplifies classic Fisher-Price craftsmanship, known for its durable, child-safe designs.
