Medieval style castles are still very popular today, which is exactly what makes this old-school DIY project interesting. As they say: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Children’s toys become more advanced and intricate with each passing year and yet simple, “old-fashioned”, toys still hold just as much appeal!
