Be a Knight with a Horse and Castle

Look at this fantastic Middle Ages castle. What fun for boys and girls ages 3 and up. A friend of mine teaches 9 year olds in elementary school and they are making suits of armor as they study the knights, castles, and the Middle Ages. This castle would make it all come alive!

This is a great gift that can be added to on future birthdays and holidays. Continue to build the armies with more knights on horseback and foot soldiers. Additional castle pieces can be added to make the castle larger, too.

Knight''s Castle

Schleich Knight's Castle features a working drawbridge with metal chains and detailed paneling.

"The Schleich Knights' castle features ready-fitted individual parts which are simply put next to one another. Two towers, four wall parts, two connecting elements and a drawbridge are included in this package. When placed side by side, the castle measures over four feet long! Each piece is made to create a wonderful natural castle background which can be recreated with your child's imagination again and again. The individual parts are made of high-quality plastic. The towers' are 16.5 inches (40 cm) in height. The sizes have been matched to the Schleich knights' figures. Castle measures 34" x 18" x 16.5" "

Amazon Price: $138.99 (as of 05/30/2012)

"The castle's inhabitants can fend of a siege from the tall, impenetrable tower.
Tall Towers and Impenetrable Walls
It's easy to imagine the inhabitants of this Knight's Castle successfully defending themselves from an outside invasion. Kids will be impressed by the durable plastic pieces, which together weigh approximately 20 pounds. All the pieces have the look and feel of dusty, weathered stone, and the two towers are heavy enough that children younger than five may have trouble moving them.
Simple assembly instructions are included with the castle. All kids have to do is connect the drawbridge to its two hinges on the castle wall, slide the cobbled entrance road into place, and then fit floor pieces into each of the two towers.
As for where the towers and the six castle-wall pieces go, that's up to them! The pieces are designed to sit side-by-side in a number of different positions so that kids can rearrange them for important battles or other scenarios."

An Amazon customer review:
"5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Toy Knight, May 27, 2009
By G. BLAIR "GBlair" (New Jersey, USA)
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
These are excellent quality toy knights. They may cost a little more than other brands, but these are of a substantial scale and are well worth the money. My kids have endless fun re-enacting various battles and making up jousts, etc. Rainy days are never dull with an imagination and knights like these."
