Dragon World Fortress Ages: 3+ Requires: 3 "AA" batteries (included)

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: The Good: Exciting fantasy theme that encourages imagination and role-playing. The Challenging: A bit top-heavy; could be easy to tip over. In a Nutshell: A large, well-designed play set that encourages creativity and role-playing.

Knights who dare to enter the Dragon World Fortress face many dangers. Pulling a lever on the back of the castle will cause the green guard dragon to lunge forward and attack intruders. The lever also triggers thunder sound effects and causes the entire castle to light up. There is also a cannon that fires plastic projectiles, and a rolling boulder that can be used to defend the staircases.

The fortress is constructed in solid, sturdy plastic. Parents, be aware that it is fairly easy to topple over due to its vertical design. However, this problem is remedied by folding out the hidden set of stairs underneath the castle, giving it the stability needed for rougher play.

This launch pad and space shuttle are sure to spark real conversation with children about science and space exploration and will make an excellent teaching opportunity about the big questions kids have about the cosmos.

Shuttle Sound Effects are Out of This World
Three different sound effects on the shuttle make this a truly interactive experience. When your child is ready to take the shuttle into space, press the button at the bottom of the shuttle and listen as the boosters roar into action. Moments later solar "pings" begin to echo from the shuttle reminiscent of a weightless object orbiting planet earth. Fit the space characters on the outside wings or on top of the cockpit, and turn them left and right to activate sound effects, like the opening of the giant shuttle cargo bay or rocket boosters kicking into high hear.

Interaction is the Name of the Game
Your junior space-racer will enjoy hours of fun fitting the space figures into five different platforms on the shuttle and launch pad and controlling the many different functions. As liftoff approaches, fit the figure on the elevator platform and move up to the third level. Another platform lets you open the shuttle's individual cargo doors by turning the figure left and then right. It's the perfect balance of hands-on interaction and sound effects that will take your child's imagination to new heights.

Space Shuttle, launch pad, two space figures, two space suits, ray gun, satellite, and an alien figure.
