Curious Kingdom Castle Playset Earns MESH Accreditation: What This Means for Your Child's Development
When Webb Knudsen, CEO and Founder of Playper, created the Curious Kingdom Castle Playset, the mission was to provide children with more than just a fun activity. The goal was to offer a toy that sparks creativity and helps kids grow. Today, we’re proud to announce that this playset has earned the prestigious MESH accreditation, ensuring it supports key areas of children's development.

What is MESH Accreditation?
MESH stands for Mental, Emotional, and Social Health. Toys and games that receive this accreditation are recognized for their ability to help children develop crucial life skills. The Curious Kingdom Castle Playset passed every phase of the MESH evaluation with top marks, earning full approval across all sections.
Supporting Problem-Solving and Perseverance
One of the standout features of the Castle Playset is its ability to foster problem-solving skills and perseverance. Children can build the brightly colored cardboard castle by fitting together pieces themselves. The challenge is just enough to keep them engaged without overwhelming them.
Adult guidance may be needed at times, but most of the work is done by the kids, encouraging them to persist until they succeed. This helps develop resilience and determination, essential life skills that the MESH accreditation process highlighted, with the playset scoring a strong 3 out of 3 in these areas.
Promoting Cognitive Development and Communication
The playset isn't just about building. The included story, “King Ketchup is in a Pickle,” lets kids use their imaginations to create their own endings, role-play with the characters, and interact with others.
This type of play strengthens communication skills and helps children develop empathy as they act out various emotions and scenarios. The MESH report praised the Curious Kingdom Castle for supporting these aspects of a child’s growth.

With the playset's clear instructions, kids can enjoy a smooth, frustration-free experience. Plus, if their interest begins to wane, the interactive app adds an extra layer of fun that re-engages them in new ways.
In terms of engagement, the playset exceeded expectations. Testers noted that children instinctively understood how to play, easily followed the instructions, and stayed interested for extended periods.
In categories like “Do children instinctively understand how to play with it?” the playset scored 3 out of 3, highlighting its ease of use and high entertainment value.
