Wood toy castle set with take-apart walls, dragons, knights, horses and a royal family

Who among us has not watched, and been intrigued by, a movie or TV program about castles, kings, knights, and dragons? What child could resist playing with a toy set that let their imagination run wild with playing in a medieval castle situation? I had so much fun making this set, I can only imagine how much fun children will have playing with it. There are over 50 pieces in this set, enough to keep children busy for hours at a time. The castle is constructed so that it can be taken apart and stored in a much smaller space than it would take if left together. The knights can either ride the horses or stand on their own.

• The castle front and back measure approximately 9” high by 7” wide and ½” thick (not counting the ledges that hold the platform)

• There is a platform that goes between the two parts of the castle entrance, and it measures about 6” by 6” by ½” thick

• A stairway that leads to the platform, or allows people to see over the castle walls, is 4 3/8” long by 2 7/8” by 1 ½”

• The two flags that can be flown from the top of the castle are 4 3/16” high, 2 ¼” long, and ½” thick

• There are 9 castle wall sections that can be arranged in any way the child wishes. They are each 6 7/8” x 6” by 1/2” thick

• 22 connectors hold the castle entrance and sides up in place

• There are 2 trees to add to the scenery, and they are 7 ½” high by 4 ½” wide and 1 ½” thick

• The 2 horses can stand by themselves, or can be mounted by the knights. The horses are 6 ½” long, 5” high, and 1 ¾” wide

• The knights can stand on the ground or ride a horse, Each knight is 5 ¾” high, 3 ¼” wide, and ¾” thick

• The 2 dragons can also be taken apart to store in a smaller space. One dragon is 9 ½” long, 4 7/8” high, and 6 7/8” wide the other is 6 ¾” long, 6” high, and 5 ½” wide

• The 6 foot soldiers are identical and each is 5 3/8” high, 2 7/8” wide and ¾” thick • The king is 5 ½” tall, 2 7/8” wide, and ¾” thick

• The queen measures 5 3/8” tall, 2 1/2” wide, and ¾” thick

• Every castle needs a princess, and she is 5 3/8” tall, 2 3/8” wide and ¾” thick

• The wizard (every castle needs a wizard, doesn’t it?) is 5 3/8” tall, 2 ¾” wide, and ¾” thick

• The castle walls are made from solid poplar and have been spray-painted gray

• The horses are made from Sapele (a wood from the mahogany family), and finished with a child-safe oil

• The people are all made from oak, finished with polyurethane
