You can purchase the ZipBin® Chateau online or you can use the Where to Buy locator feature at the website. Just put in your location information and ZipBin® will send back a list of retailers in your area that are carrying ZipBin® products. Still, the easiest place to purchase is most likely going to be online. ZipBin® is available not only at the ZipBin® website, but at other retail locations, including Amazon.
Requirements & Instructions:
The ZipBin® Chateau comes with everything your child will need to play with this beautifully illustrated play mat. There is the mat, which can be converted between a handy carrying case and a fold out play mat. There are also toys that can be used to play with the mat and create any adventure your child wants to enjoy.
Using any of the ZipBin® toys is easy. You just unzip the bin, unfold the mat, take out the toy that comes with the mat and playtime can begin. The ZipBin® Chateau comes with a doll and accessories. Your child can store the doll and other dolls and accessories that your child already has in the ZipBin® when playtime is over.
The ZipBin® was designed for easy storage. The sides of the zipper zip up to form four corners in a box and the ZipBin® Chateau comes with a decorated, Chateau themed lid. The carrying case has a handle for both storage and allowing your child to take the Chateau wherever they go!
Durability:
The ZipBin® Chateau is made of a strong, plastic material. This is the kind of plastic that can be easily wiped off in case anything spills on the mat. You never know with kids whether juice, sticky hands, or an assortment of food is going to end up on their toys. The material used for each ZipBin® makes cleanup effortless. The plastic material isn’t going to be anything that is going to rip easily. The ZipBin® won’t break if it is dropped and your kids can tug on it all they want. It isn’t easy for an adult to rip this so a kid won’t be able to rip it either.
Ease of Use:
Using this toy is incredibly easy. Just unzip the ZipBin®, take out the toys and playtime is ready to begin. As long as your child can unzip the bin, they will be able to play with the toy. This toy is actually quite disability friendly. A child with limited mobility might still be able to unzip the ZipBin® Chateau with assistance. Once the ZipBin® is open, play is open to anyone no matter their abilities or lack thereof.
Fun Factor & Overall Appeal:
The ZipBin® Chateau inspires creativity with plenty of options for play. Essentially, the Chateau allows for any type of play in a castle. Your child can play as the King or Queen. Your child can be the princess waiting for her prince to show up at the Castle Ball. The Chateau even features a place to hold a pool party! Your child can do mundane, day to day activities or have extravagant parties and dances. Ultimately, the sky’s the limit!
The ZipBin® Chateau has three pockets in the side of it. All of the toys and accessories your little one needs to have the ultimate castle experience can be stored right in the bin. The ZipBin® Chateau will offer long lasting fun because every play experience can be a different story. This means the Chateau has excellent, longlasting appeal.
