Folding Medieval Castle

Solid-wood castle opens fully for easy play access. Features extensive hand-painted accents, a working drawbridge and trap door. Castle play just got better. We love this item for its size and its ?cubbyholes?. It allows 2-3 children to play parallel or collaboratively. As children with PDD become comfortable with close proximity, they learn to tolerate the ideas of others. Children with autism love to place things inside of small spaces and rearrange them over and over. Parents can foster engagement as they playfully ?hide? figures or join their child in deciding where every character should go. This castle offers opportunity for grouping and placement of figures in a repetitive manner, rote enacting of familiar fairy tales, as well as elaborate pretend dramas born of a child?s imagination. Pair with the Papo medieval figures and expand the ideas further by adding the Toysmith dragons. Ages 3+r, colorful courtyard, balconies and removable turret! Ages 3+ 17.5" x 27" x 15.25". Figures and dragons sold separately.
