3 Wishes Fairy Castle and Wooden Camelot Castle Toys: by Papo Richly detailed castle toys are always a big hit with kids, but our favorite of the castle toys for girls is the 3 Wishes Fairy Castle by Papo. Papo's castle toys seem so life-like, yet so whimsical at the same time. No detail has been spared from this fun pink fairy castle. Similarly for boys, the Wooden Camelot Castle by Papo is just as intricately detailed and whimsical. Looking at any of Papo's castle toys you can almost imagine yourself in the scene ? to a time where chivalry was not dead, costumes were ornate, and magic was in the air.
Art Easel: by Alex The key to an imaginative toy is that there is just enough to spark creativity. The art easel by Alex Toys not only give children a canvas on which to create, but all of the art supplies as well. Unlike other art easels, the Alex art easel has two oversized trays on each side to hold art supplies so that children can use a variety of creative mediums. Paper for the art easel is plentiful and dispensed from a paper roll so that kids can paint, color, and draw without having to stop for more supplies.

Play Kitchens: Young children look to the actions of their parents to understand their role in the world. They yearn to live out what they see by trying things themselves in a miniature sized environment where they can safely learn by trial and error.
