Review on Medieval Drawbridge Construction Kit by Melissa and Doug by Adam Jauregui

My oldest daughter (3 1/2) asked for a Barbie dollhouse for Christmas. I thought a dollhouse would be fine, but I didn't want anything too pink, plastic, and "branded". I wanted something she could play with with whatever dolls she had on hand. I first noticed the pink version of the princess on Revain. I got the "boyish" version for three reasons. 1) It's more like historical castles (except Neuschwanstein) which makes it more educational. 2) she has never seen the pink version so she doesn't care, and 3) there is a prison there. She LOVES stuffing her toys into different "jails" (I'm not trying to figure out why). She loved this toy. She and her younger sister (1 1/2 years old) play with him for hours every day. It has become home to many Disney princess characters, Happy Meal toys, and random little puppets. You name it - if he comes to the castle, even remotely, he settles down. A downside is that some holes are small. Tuba Knights (up to 2 inches) work well in any location. Disney princesses (which range from 2" to 4" tall depending on the set - buyers beware, they really aren't standard for their figure sets) are taller and can get stuck. Belle, for example, with her oversized skirt, doesn't get far, while the slimmer Mulan hides almost everywhere. free toys. Get ready for the screams of "The prison is full! Get out the toys, please!” All in all, though, this is one of the BEST toys we've ever received. We also bought a set of M&D wooden blocks, which quickly transformed into stables, outbuildings, tower bridges, stairs, etc. If I could only buy 1 toy for the kids it would be a toss between this and M&D wooden blocks. What's great about this toy is that it's also fun to play with mom and dad. I spend a lot of time with girls when this lock is out. keep a close eye on the M&D pirate ship so the princesses can experience new adventures. ;)
