Sleepy Princess and the Pea is a beautiful game for children ages 3-12. It is made by Haba toys, a German toy manufacturer that makes games and toys using real materials like wood and fabric to produce top-quality products that will make any parent and every child happy.

Sleepy Princess is based on the classic fairy tale where a disheveled young girl shows up at a palace one rainy night and claims to be a princess. The queen tests her by putting her in a bed with dozens of mattresses, pillows and blankets beneath her and a tiny pea buried beneath them all. If she is a real princess, thinks the queen, she will be so delicate that she will feel the discomfort of the pea beneath the huge pile of bedding. Of course, the princess passes the test and is rewarded with the prince of the palace's hand in marriage.

This game is a relatively simple game, all the players have to do is stack the provided mattresses on top of the pea without allowing them to tumble. Children do not need to be able to read to play this game, but it will help them develop their fine motor skills and the cooperative version of the game does away with the winner/loser sensibility that so many American children's games have.

Children will find the charming concept and fun and colorful game pieces (including the adorable wooden princess doll) irresistable. This game is particularly enticing for children who are studying Waldorf or Montessori methods of education, where tactile learning is encouraged.
Cute, fun, quality

My 3 year old daughter loves this game and it comes with two types of play - one is simple enough for her to understand and the other is a little more complicated. That way, the children can play the game for years. The whole thing is just so cute. I would recommend this game to parents looking to buy a first game for a young child.
Sweet little game

Reviewer: T. York,
We remebered this game from Toy Testing and my child really enjoyed it. It's hard to find, but worth it. It's definetely not for over 6 year olds...my older child loses interest quickly, but is fine for the younger preschool set.
Fun Game, but More Fun to Play With

My daughter has more fun playing with her little toys with these beds and pillows than she does playing the game. It is a good concept. What you see in the picture is what you get (for some reason, I thought that there were more beds and pillows). Overall, we like it.
Cute game for toddlers.

Like most Haba toys, this one is very well made. My 3 year old likes playing with the wooden princess and bedding as much or more than playing the game. FYI: The bed is heavy cardboard, not wood. The price is a bit high, but at least it wasn't made in China!
