The Medieval times and their imaginary world are full of wonder for your child. Castles, dragons, knights and princesses are just some of the ideas that can be used for Medieval themed pretend play. But most toys for Medieval themed play are targeted towards boys interested in knights. This can make it tricky to find something for a girl interested in Medieval times.
There are some great toys for girls with a Medieval theme luckily. Here are some of the best choices.
Dolls clothes are an easy way to encourage Medieval pretend play and spark the interest of a girl interested in these historic times.
The Celtic Princess Medieval Dress and Shoes is a lovely quality dress made of green linen with gold slippers and a Celtic knot belt with jewel. It's a beautiful Medieval inspired dress that will fit a girl's favorite American Girl doll (or similar sized dolls).
The Medieval Princess Dress has amazing attention to Medieval detail with a classic Medieval style green velvet gown with ivory satin trim. It has a full flowing skirt, bell sleeves and lace-up front. It's also made to fit American Girl or similar dolls.
Apart from being adorable looking dresses for 18" dolls the give girls an imaginative springboard for pretend play about Medieval times.

The Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Princess Castle is a castle built for girls.
It's huge, sturdy and very detailed. It's made from natural wood and has flowery decorations.
It looks beautiful so it will delight a girl who loves princesses. But it doesn't come with any accessories. You can buy lovely furniture for it but you can also use dolls' furniture you already have (check the dimensions will work together though). Just add a few Medieval characters like a princess, a knight and a dragon and you're ready to go.
This 40 piece Castle building blocks set is great for imaginative Medieval play. It's a cute set that lets girls create lots of Medieval make believe stories.
The set is made from high quality wood and comes with a plastic storage box. But it's a small set so it's best to buy 2 so your daughter doesn't become frustrated when they play by not having enough blocks. Luckily the blocks are a good price so it's not hard to buy 2 sets for play.
The Faber Castell Medieval Garden lets girls grow real plants to make a mini medieval garden. It comes with a garden dish, a well made resin dragon and tower as well as magical dragon eggs and everything else you need to create a Medieval garden.
Girls can have fun painting the castle, tower and the fire-breathing dragon and then designing, planting and caring for their Medieval garden. (The seeds included are wheat grass and basil.)
This garden is fun beyond creating the garden because your daughter can watch their garden grow after all the painting and planting has been done. (Kids love growing things from seeds and seeing them grow from "nothing".)
