Kerstman speelset

The moment we unboxed it, my kids had the elves flying through the living room—the wooden sleigh is sturdy and beautifully finished. It’s already become our favorite holiday decoration that they actually get to play with.

My three-year-old hasn't put this down since it arrived — the elf figure fits perfectly in the sleigh beside Father Christmas, and she narrates their whole trip across the sky. The little reindeer guide is a sweet touch too. Worth every penny for the hours of pretend play we've gotten out of it.

The sleigh is solid wood and has held up through daily play with my nephew, who insists on landing it on the rug every night. The elf figure fits snugly in the back seat, which is a nice touch since our old set always had pieces tumbling out.
