Little Tikes Castle

By all means, every toddler is unique. But there are some things just about all of them share in common. And one of those is an affinity for climbing and sliding. This is a good thing, for the more climbing and sliding the do, the more they are exercising their bodies and minds when they should be—at an early age. Little Tikes does its part to encourage these positive pastimes with its climbing- and sliding-intensive Little Tikes Castle series.

The Classic Castle is a Little Tikes Castle that is imaginative fun for a wide age range: two years old up to age six. Kids will love the very imagination-inducing high castle walls that enclose an inner courtyard within that they enter through a blue imitation-wood door that opens and closes on swinging hinges. Kids get bountiful play space on this one: It’s 58 inches long, 51 inches wide, and 50 inches high.

Those walls are high enough that kids outside won’t see over the tops of them. Those inside will feel like they are securely within their own castle fortress. They’ll get ample view of the outside world, though, through the angular windows that are carved out of each of the four castle walls.

Other castles in the Little Tikes Castle series are ideal for toddlers. The Climb & Slide Castle is one example. Little Tikes recommends it for ages 1 to 4. Nevertheless, a few customers say that kids as old as 7 will happily join in the play.

The Climb & Slide Castle is a bit more compact than the Classic Castle: 22.7 inches in length, 40.4 inches in height, and 15.7 inches in width. Those dimensions are just enough to fit a climbing wall, a platform, and a gentle slide opposite the climbing wall. Decorative turrets on both sides add castle style. Plus, the space underneath the top platform makes for a crawl-through tunnel space.

Then there is the Swingalong Castle, another Little Tikes unit for the ages 1-4 set. This one has a climbing wall, platform, and gentle slide just like the Climb & Slide Castle. And it’s got a few other things, besides: a play telescope and captain’s steering wheel on the platform, and an adjacent side bar with a swing set. The swing set safely straps its riders in with a triple-point harness, and the restrictive bar keeps the swing’s ropes from swinging out to extremes.
