Valentine's Day Gift Guide - Sofia The First Vacation Palace Playset

Disney Sofia The First Vacation Palace: Girls can join Princess Sofia on her family vacation at sea, aboard this delightful 2-in-1 royal ship. Princess Sofia can dine with her family (not included) on the middle level or enjoy the ocean breeze on deck. Then she can journey upstairs to the very top level and steer the royal ship from the captain's wheel. But that's just the beginning. Sofia can also embark on mermaid adventures - just like in the Disney Junior series. Remove her princess skirt to reveal her mermaid tail, so she can slide down the translucent blue slide into a mermaid cove, complete with a spinning wheel and seashell throne, which flips up to reveal her new mermaid friend, Oona. Whether she's a princess steering from above or a mermaid exploring down below, there are endless ways to play out Sofia's action-packed family vacation at sea. Sofia's favorite animal friend, Clover the Rabbit (not included) can join in the vacation fun from his very own life preserver which hovers above the "sea." Sofia doll unlocks phrases in the Magical Talking Castle, sold separately.

My Thoughts

I like to get each of my kid's a little something for Valentine's Day, something other than candy and sweets. For my four-year-old daughter, who is fascinated with Sofia the First, The Vacation Palace Playset was the perfect choice.

The play set is a two-in-one design that starts out as a floating castle, sort of like a house boat. But when you slide down the base it creates an underwater cove as well.  The set comes complete with a table and chairs, tire swing, and more.   It also includes a Sofia action figure that magically morphs from a princess to a mermaid by simply removing her skirt. Assembly was simple and minimal.  The pieces are sturdy and well made.

 I think this is the perfect set for younger children. The pieces are big enough that they won't get lost easily and since there are only a few that aren't permanently attached, it doesn't take long to set up.  My daughter loves the castle and will play with it for hours a t time. It's a must have for any Sofia fans.

You can find the Sofia The First Vacation Palace Playset  on Amazon for only $29.99.
