The Little Tikes Climb and Slide Castle is a great toy for toddlers.  The Castle has one side that is like a mini rock climbing hill.  The other side is a slide for coming down out of the castle.  Tunnel-like openings allow the toddler to go under the castle, creating a special hiding spot.  The top platform of the castle features a wheel that turns.  We were unable to ...

We bought this, for my eldest daughter, around 4 years ago, and both of my children are still using it today!  It's made of a heavy duty plastic, with no sharp edges or exposed wood that may create owwies, or splinters.  It's in the shape of a beautiful castle, with turrets on each side that you can put things on.  The foot board has a 'drawbridge' table that you ...

I've been to this incredible historical location on several occasions and each time I visit, I find something new to fall in love with.The history of Boldt Castle is one that fairy tale dreams are made from, literally, but of the sadder versions - no happy ending here unfortunately.  Boldt Castle and the island it resides on, Heart Island are accessible only by water.  There are t...

Two of our children received Moon Sand Sand Castle kits from relatives this year, and I honestly didn't know what to think. Our daughter has wanted Moon Sand forever and a day, and I've shied away. It seems like such a messy toy. We have a sandbox in the summer the kids can play in, and by December, I'm finally getting the last crystals of that out of my house. But, we had to try it...

This kitchen set is a great idea for any little girl that you need to buy a gift for. We bought one at Christmas time for my grandaughter, and it came with many dishes, tea pot and pots 'n pans. The kitchen set talks if you put pans on the burners, and if you turn on the water it sounds like actual running water. There is also a talking cook book built right into the set. The oven has butto...

This is a cute toy, but there's a lot of downsides to it for a parent point of view.  It's cute, and comes with a lot of pieces that can be played with in a variety of way, the child can use their imagination with it, gets a lot of yeah! points.  The batteries last a very long time plus the noise it makes isn't grating at all, it short nippets of music and the dance floor ...

This is a little people toy that we have enjoyed. It is pink and so mainly geared for girls of course but my will also play with it. It is recommended for ages 1 1/2 plus but my son didn't start really playing with it in a role play manor until he was atleast 3, he is almost 5 now though and still enjoys it. He likes kings and dragons so that is a plus that this is a castle set.  It is...

 I have alot of mixed feelings about this toy. We do like it and my son, almost 5, enjoys playing with it. But here are a few things I do not like about the castle. For one, it is not very versatile. There aren't alot of logs and so you cannot build much beyond what the set is, the castle. You can hardly build even a small basic house. I liked them better when they were meant to just b...

My daughter got this young version of candyland for the holidays. Candyland castle which is still based on the classic candyland. Only this version is more based on shape AND color. Not just color. candyland castle is a "castle" where you can stack all these shapes in different colors so you can pull on a candycane to make the shapes fall out. One shape comes out at a time. And you ha...

There is no need to go to the beach in the middle of the winter. Your child will be able to play in the sand right in your own home with this neat kit. If they enjoy playing in the sandbox outdoors, they will love the inflatable sandbox that comes in the kit. You also get four plastic castle molds, one pund or moonsand and a digging tool. The sandbox works well to keep the sand inside a safe pl...

It was inevitable that Dora the Explorer would have to become a princess in order for Fisher Price to keep up with Disney and the princess craze.  Since we already had the Dora Talking House, I wasn't sure if it was worth it to also buy the castle set, even though my daughters really wanted it.  Finally, I found it at a good price and decided to purchase it.  My daughters hav...

My 4 year old has asked for this for quite some time.  I was hesitant to buy it for her, because she had already mastered Candy Land and I felt this was a step back for her.  However, her Poppop bought this for her about two weeks ago and I must say I was right, she played this for a few minutes and not again.  The age on the box states for children 3 -6.However, my 2 year old ab...

We recently went on our second trip to Disney World and got to eat in the castle for the first time.  My two daughters were so amazed with how beautiful it was that they kept saying I wish we could take it home with us.   We were shopping in our resort hotel when they saw a Cinderella's Castle play set for sale and of course both wanted it so me and my husband decided to go a...

This BARBIE and The Diamond Castle DVD is another one of my 3 1/2 year old grand daughter's favorite Barbie movies.  It is a magical fairy tale come to life and she just loves it. She got it for her third birthday.  I like it myself and watch it over and over sometimes with her.  The movie begins with Barbie and Teresa working on a new song when Stacie, Barbie's...

I had been wanting to visit Neuschwanstein ever since I saw a poster of it while I was in college. Finally, last year, I was able to make that dream a reality. It is every bit as gorgeous as it is in the picture, if not moreso.If you're going to visit, be sure to bring good walking shoes. After we bought our tickets, we had to walk up a steep hill for about half an hour. There are even gift...
