PhotographerStylistNick Jr.’s preschool series Julius Jr., based on the iconic Paul Frank monkey Julius, follows the adventures of Julius Jr., a funky monkey who invents all kids of things. Julius Jr. and his best friends build a playhouse out of a simple cardboard box. To their surprise and delight, when they walk inside they discover that ordinary objects magically come to life and amazing adventures are just a door away.

The Julius Jr. Rock ‘n Playhouse Box, from Fisher-Price, brings all of the imagination, whimsy, and fun of this preschool series to life. Kids ages 2 and up can help Julius Jr. skateboard up the ramp, dance on the light-up dance floor, ride the elevator (it knows which floor you’re on!), travel through the hall of doors, and more. This play set features lights and sounds on every floor and includes a 3-inch Julius Jr. figure, an art table, a keyboard, a microphone, a skateboard ramp and a skateboard, and a rocket. For extended play, it can connect to other Julius Jr. play sets.

Not only is there tons of play value available in this Julius Jr. play set, but the set itself is adorably appealing. It features the bright colors that is usually associated with the Paul Frank brand and a Julius Jr. figure that is the perfect size for little hands. The set gives kids a lot of options for imaginative and inventive play, but isn’t overly cluttered with accessories or overwhelming with sounds and lights. It allows kids to use their imagination to play with a character they love! The set will be available this August.

This product and more from Fisher-Price will be on display at The Big Toy Book’s Sweet Suite 14 event in New York City on July 17. Part of Blogger Bash, a two-day conference connecting bloggers and brands nationwide, Sweet Suite will feature the hottest toys and games for the upcoming holiday season.
