Tips & Warnings

• Give Great Adventures toys along with a book that matches the theme of the toy. If you give the Robin Hood's Forest, include a book about Robin Hood.
• Know that the Great Adventures toys are designed to be mixed and matched. Children who have the Magic Castle can easily incorporate Robin Hood's Forest into their play.
• When figures are placed on the Magic Castle's footpad, it can identify them and appropriate noises are made. The castle contains a dungeon and comes with two good knights, two bad knights and a court jester. This toy won a Parents Magazine toy award in 1999.
• Remember batteries for the Magic Castle.
