Ever since the kids saw Brave in theaters, Princess Merida has been a frequent topic of conversation. When both the kids saw the Brave toys on the kitchen table I couldn’t tell who was squealing the loudest.
We were sent the Brave Castle & Forest Play Set ($24.99 at Amazon) that comes with Princess Merida and her horse Angus.
We were also sent Brave Gem Styling Merida Doll ($20.99 at Amazon).
The first thing both kids wanted to do was put the gems on Merida’s dress and hair. This was fun for a bit, but the lure of the play set finally won out. I think the Merida doll lost out because we didn’t have any of the other figures for her to interact with. I do have to say that after the newness of the play set wore off Emma claimed ownership of Merida and sat on the couch playing with her hair for the entire evening.
I tried to be unobtrusive while the kids played with the play set. I’m glad I did that because they almost immediately went into play mode and Emma set up the house for Merida to have dinner.
The kids liked being a little silly and let Angus walk up the stairs and try to lay down in Merida’s bed.
The biggest giggles happened when the “large” Merida decided that the castle was hers and she wanted to take a nap. Obviously she didn’t fit in her bed… Emma and Ethan giggled and giggled and giggled.
I love how the kids imagination was sparked with both toys. My biggest wish was with the play set as it really doesn’t fold up easily and there isn’t a place to put the smaller pieces for storage. I had to resort to a large ziploc bag for all of the pieces except the actual castle. If it closed and locked with all the pieces inside it would be fabulous. That being said, both kids still love the castle and continue to play with it often!
