One of the coolest things of having an 18 month old kid is that I am able to play with things that I haven’t been able to since I was a kid. I grew up in the 80’s and I used to LOVE playing with Colorforms! All you 80’s babies out there know that I am talking about! When I saw this book, I had a flash back of being a kid and playing with those. On top of that, “Frozen” is no question my favorite film to date of 2013 and our family cannot get enough of this film. The characters, the colors, the music, the design…it is absolutely perfect. As is this book, which is a not only a book but also a magnetic play set and a dress-up book as well.
Inside this book you literally get transported into the wonderful the magical world from Walt Disney Animation Studio’s “Frozen”. Included inside this great handy plastic carrying case are two storybooks, two magnetic dolls, six play scenes, and over 60 magnets. The play scenes are really sharp and quite colorful. The magnets are spot and represent the film very well. There is a ton of fun to have with this set and is also a great way to get kids imaginations going. Seeing my daughter play with this set, I knew that she was having a real blast and she is still technically too young for this. I can only imagine how much she will enjoy as she gets older. Highly recommended, very reasonably priced and will make a great holiday gift this year! If your kids are fans of “Sofia the First”, there is also a great set for that show as well.
Great idea. 5 y/o granddaughter loves the Frozen characters. Long car trip coming up, thought this would be great for hours of entertainment in the car and, then, there would be a case to hold all of it when she wasn’t playing with it. She was very excited about the cutouts, clothes, backgrounds, etc…..BUT, as is, the pieces (and there are scads of tiny ones) stick to nothing so it was frustrating for the 5 y/o when she couldn’t really dress the characters and I ended up with little pieces all over the backseat of my car. I should give it a one or none star because the set is basically useless. I did not buy from B & N but want to spread the word about this no-good set.
