Editorial Review

Part playset, part stuffed cuddle toy, this compact fortress measures a mere 10.5 by 5.5 inches when folded and zipped up. But when your child is ready to play, the turret on the tower pops out, the castle gate folds down, and the roof and back wall unzip to reveal an interior throne room, a bejeweled and bearded king, his matronly queen, and a pair of faithful knights equipped with jousting lances and two armored steeds that they can mount (thanks to some convenient Velcro). There's even a court wizard and a cheerful looking green dragon who--despite the puff of flame that he emits--doesn't look particularly interested in wolfing down any maidens. It's a charming collection of play figures, all sturdily stitched and brightly colored and easily cleaned with the careful application of some soap and water. --John Longenbaugh

5.0 out of 5 stars An adorable toy, October 10, 2000

I find the Pockets of Learning toys to be fun, educational, andwonderful to tote around. I found no problem with the fact that there were no instructions. Even my two year old daughter understood it as soon as she looked at it! After all, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you open the castle up and use the pieces to play inside and outside of it! This is not some sophisticated electronic toy with small parts to build, people. It's a cloth castle, already put together for you. Anyway, in summary, it's an adorable toy and lots of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Imaginative Play!, April 5, 2003

We received this castle set as a gift several years ago. It has been one of my children's favorite toys, hands down. I like it better than many castle play sets because it seems to encourage more imaginative play. It is soft and kid-friendly, and it zips up to become very transportable. We have taken it with us on several trips and it worked quite well. Our only complaint is that, being cloth, some of the figures are starting to come apart--but that's after several years of play. All in all, it's a great toy!

I am a big fan of the Pockets of Learning soft play toys. We own a few sets and have given them as gifts in the past. They are great for imaginative play and travel well. Usually the sets come in a heavy plastic and fabric case that zips and has the Pockets of Learning logo on it. However, this item was not delivered in the packaging. The castle was just in a plastic bag that was stapled shut. It looks like I picked it up second hand. This may not be as big deal if I was purchasing it for my own use, but I ordered it as a gift. Based on the lack of original packaging, I am not comfortable gifting the item as I had planned.
