  • This Curious Kingdom Playset by Playper is absolutely adorable. I opened it with my little nephew and he could not have been more excited to start building the castle. The pieces are sturdy and it was easy enough for him to get the hang of it pretty quickly. The characters are colorful and fun. He has been having the best time playing with this set and would absolutely recommend this for any young child!

  • My kids love this toy! They really enjoy the building process and there's nothing quite like their beaming faces when they're proud of themselves for assembling it. It's also been a ton of fun watching them engage in imaginary play with it, making up fun little stories to go along with all the cute characters like King Ketchup and Snuffles the Dragon. My 4 year-old twins and 7 year-old play together nicely with it and it brings them together in a really cute way. Overall, it's a great mix of tactile and digital play, and the AR app does a great job extending the lifespan of the physical toys and bringing the characters and their stories to life. I appreciate the fact that the games and stories in the app teach real skills like math and problem solving, but at the end of the day, my favorite thing is just watching my kiddos do pretend play with the playset. It's also really nice to have a non-plastic toy option.

    I was really surprised by how durable the toy was. When I heard that it was paper-based I thought it was going to be flimsy and easily break, but that wasn't the case at all. It's super high quality and can really withstand a lot. Overall I thought everything was really well done. My only feedback is to make sure that your kids are the right age and be ready to help them out a bit with the assembly if they're on the younger side.

  • I bought this game set for my three-year-old daughter. The box contains step-by-step assembly instructions and parts that a child can easily get without using scissors. The game takes 15-20 minutes to assemble. My daughter really liked the characters, they are very funny and interesting. The castle itself is quite large and colorful. My daughter and I came up with several story games with this game and played for more than an hour the first time. Now this is her favorite game and she asks to play with it every day. I want to note that the parts are quite strong and durable. But since this is still cardboard and in case of breakage, the set contains adhesive plasters-stickers, with the help of which the game will last as long as possible. Now I am thinking about buying other games from the Playper series. My child really liked this game.

  • I have bought player toys for my child before. He likes them very much. This time, I bought this 3D puzzle, and my child also likes it very much and can't wait to play with it. Its tutorial is very detailed, and the child can easily learn how to assemble it. We only need to give simple guidance, and he will assemble it by himself. This is really great!

  • This product is one of the most fascinating and innovative toys I’ve seen in a while. It was simple to set up with my kids help. I enjoyed hearing them spend hours of fun playing with the Curious Kingdom!

  • Very fun and cute and love that it doesn’t use plastic. One downfall of this product was that it was rather hard to figure out how to put together. I wish the pieces were somehow labeled so you knew what went to what instead of having to look through all of them each time you build a new piece. But loved the finished product!

  • I love the way in which this brand provides educational value without screen time. The cardboard building material is quite thick and sturdy and can stand up to little hands. The edges do make me nervous about children getting cut, though.

  • Wholesome "non branded" playset

    I am so pleased to see a non branded toy for children. I get tired of all the TV shows turned in to toys play sets. I know kids love them, but I like the imagination required to play with this toy. It, I believe, helps kids develop their minds rather than just replaying what they see on tv first. And it is well made and high quality.

  • Playper Buildable Castle Playset

    I got this educational toy for my nephews 4 year old son whose mother is a guidance counselor so that is the reason I like to find educational toys for there kids and he loved it. He was able to build all the characters and castle with the supervision of his mother which was a great learning experience and lots of fun. It is eco friendly using cardboard which is good for the environment.

  • This was a unique and creative toy for my kids! It was perfect for a rainy day activity, and the playset allowed them to learn how to follow directions and then use their imagination. The idea of using recycled materials was nice, but it doesn't hold well for toddler use.

  • This was such an awesome gift for my toddler. My partner and I got to build it with her and it was a great form of screen-free connection. It was fun building the parts and took awhile so it’s a good activity to do. The “paper” is really good and sturdy. It does rip but they give you little stickers to mend it together. Very good quality and innovative toy.

  • This is a very cool toy that my grandson will really like. This is an upgrade on the old paper dolls. Very cool!

  • My 2yr old and 4yr old really enjoyed playing with this cardboard castle. It got maybe 4 plays before it started to break apart. The little sticker bandaids it came with weren’t very sticky and didn’t do much to keep the pieces together. They didn’t handle the pieces roughly so I was expecting to get more play time out of this.

  • I loved this castle playset! Lately, my nephew has been making things using paper so I thought this would be a perfect gift for him. It really helps develop creative play and I love that it has eco-friendly packaging. The quality is amazing as well. I can't wait to try the other play sets.
