Boys like play castles too, ya know.

In a house full of girls, my son is used to playing with pink ponies and pretty castles. Really, I'm all for it. But it is nice to find pretend play toys that are a little more gender neutral too.

 

The eco-friendly castle tower from Imagination Box Co is a little different than your regular old princess palace in that it's basically a turret with two stories. There's a drawbridge and windows, and best of all, plenty of space for your kids to color or paint - which are actually included with the castle itself. Construction is remarkably easy and due to its size, my three kids don't have to fight for play space; always a perk when you find yourself acting as sibling referee more often than you'd like.

Speaking of which, this cardboard castle turret makes a great gift for families with couple or more kids, or even a fantastic party activity. And best of all, it's completely recyclable when your kids are done. Which around here, will not be any time soon. -Kristen
