Little People Confusion

Brooke has two Little People sets, a Farm (which she got from Uncle Brad for Christmas) And a house, which was supposed to come from Santa, but due to the farm she didnt get it until a few months later :) She plays with both of them every day, and loves them. Up until yesterday there hasnt been a single incident.

There is a feature on the farm in which Brooke can shoot the animals and farmer down a slide. Here is an example of the farmer going down the slide. Brooke loves to send things down the slide. And yesterday she decided that she too, should go down the slide. She attempted to sit on the slide, while yelling "wheeee!!!". She did this a few times until she realized she wasnt going anywhere, and then she got angry and Mommy had to distract her with another toy.

Today, another issue. She got on her stomach and tried to slide herself into the first floor of the house. When this didnt work, she again got very angry. I tried to distract her but it wasnt happening. Then, she got up and sat on the tiny lip of the 2nd floor of the house. She was actually quite happy with this for a moment. I believe she thought she was "in" the house. Then she decided it was time to get on top of the house and Mommy had to step in.

How do you explain to a toddler that the places her Little People live and play are not ones that she also can enter? Poor little girl ;)
