This set is associated with the book Happy Birthday, Molly! The set was introduced in 1987 and retired in 2006. When Molly was rereleased in June 2022, the Pin the Tail on the Donkey game, clothespins and bottle game, and the jump rope from this set were also rereleased and combined into a new Birthday Accessories set along with her rereleased birthday cake.
You can play the same party games that Molly and her friends played at her birthday in 1944. Pin the Tail on the Donkey always ended up with everyone in giggles! And Drop the Clothespins in the Bottle looked easy but was surprisingly hard. The milk bottle (yes, milk really came in glass bottles in the ’40s!) comes with five wooden clothespins (no, dryers weren’t invented in the ’40s!). And just for fun there’s a pair of red roller skates and a blue jump rope so Molly can play just like she and Emily did in the story.

I ofcourse bought these so that I wouldn't be without when Emily is released. I was really hoping that the skates in this set would be of better quality then the newer skates. My guess so far is that is the case. The wheels on the new skates look like the ones on Kit's scooter and I didn't want cheep crud skates like those if I could help it. I really like this set. A person could make a less expensive version if they wanted. Little clips can be found in many craft stores and you could pringt you own donkey game. The version of the donkey game is a nice thick stock. I was really surprised to find it so nice. the jump rope is nice and has wooden handles that are threaded onto the rope and knotted in the end.
The Bottle has all the detail that makes me grin. How cute is this!?! Pleasantry Farms Grade A milk! To freakin' cute!
