Step into a fairytale world of mid-century play with this delightful Judy Sleeping Beauty Story Set. Produced by the Judy Company of Minneapolis, a manufacturer famous for creating high-quality educational toys and manipulative aids, this 11-piece set is a wonderful example of post-war imaginative play. The set features iconic characters and scenic elements from the classic Sleeping Beauty tale, with the largest piece measuring approximately 10.5 inches wide by 8 inches in height. Each piece is designed to be freestanding, allowing children—or collectors—to arrange the scenes and bring the story to life in a three-dimensional format. The art style is quintessential for its era, featuring vibrant, saturated colors and charming character designs that evoke the nostalgia of 1950s and 60s storybooks.
The set is in very good condition, with the colorful graphics remaining bright and the pieces structurally sound. It is a rare treat to find this set complete with its original box; while the packaging shows honest signs of age and use, it preserves the historical context of the toy and displays the beautiful vintage typography and branding that collectors love. This set would be a magical addition to a "boho nursery" or a whimsical touch in a "vintage kitsch" playroom. It also serves as a fantastic display for a primary teacher’s classroom library or a collector of mid-century educational ephemera. Whether used for storytelling or as a unique sculptural display on a nursery shelf, this Judy set is a nostalgic reminder of the enduring power of classic folklore.
This set is vintage, approximately 65 years old.
