Princess's Lake Outing (Qiji 36013)

About this set

This KEEPPLEY 36013 sits in the Magic Princess line, and the box marks it 6+, with a difficulty of 2/5, so it is clearly aimed at younger builders. The model comes together in pink, yellow, blue and white, built around a princess castle with a tower and a flag, a pink slide running off one side, and a water base at the front holding a small boat plus a minifigure. Build the water base first, then stand up the tower, and leave the slide and flag for last — the slide-to-tower connection is the fiddly bit, so having the tower fixed in place makes it easier. The boat and slide are the parts kids will reach for once it is done, moving the figure between them. The clutch is light and the part count modest, which suits a first castle build for a child, with an adult nearby to check the flag and slide clips.
