We love this Castle of Courage from the Early Learning Centre at £60 it is just the ticket.

Especially good dolls houses and forts.

For a different take on the traditional Knights Castle have a look at the Playmobil range.  They come complete with an army of figures and all sorts of extras slightly different from the norm.  Dragon troops, Canon guards, lots and lots of things to collect throughout next year. 

Probably not going to stand the test of time, but lots of fun is guaranteed to be had in the here and now. 

This cottage is every little girl's dream - there are so many heavenly accesories to buy for this and the other proper old-fashioned dolls houses on this brilliant website. Baileys Toy Shop has it all. 

Primrose Cottage only £57.

It is all about accessories in the world of knights and dragons and The Early Learning Centre has got a good range of the fab Schleich figures and extras, like this great Siege Tent along with packs of goodie and baddie knights. 

Kids love Sylvanians, and this Lakeside Lodge ticks all the boxes.  Not too expensive at £34.99 so you can fill it up with all the little Sylvanian people. Hours of fun.
