Our family love Playmobil, a top manufacturer within preschool, and we’re looking forward to sharing some of their news, and of course toy reviews, with you over the next few months.

    New Ghostbusters toy range from Playmobil

    July 6, 2016 - By 

    Are you planning on going to see the new Ghostbusters film? I have fond memories of the original films and our family sat down and watched both of them a couple of weeks ago. My children really enjoyed the films and were so excited to see Ecto-1, aka the Ghostbusters car, when we went shopping at the weekend. As you know, we are Playmobil Playologists so were really excited to hear that Playmobil have announced an exciting licensing collaboration based on the original Ghostbusters brand!

    A day with London Fire Brigade

    April 9, 2016 - By 

    Last month I mentioned that London Fire Brigade fire stations will be hosting 65 collaborative open days with Playmobil across the capital throughout 2016 to teach children about fire safety in the home. These events are part of their 150th anniversary and today we attended the Playmobil VIP launch party at Soho Fire Station to kick off these open days.

    Playmobil Eggs for Easter

    February 5, 2016 - By 

    We’ve been Playmobil Playologists for the last few years and my children absolutely love receiving Playmobil eggs for Easter. They receive plenty of chocolate eggs from friends and family so these plastic eggs and toys are a great alternative. This year they were sent two of the Playmobil Eggs. There are 4 different toys available, each in a different coloured plastic shell. Little Sis received the Mermaid with Seahorses and Big Brother the Soccer Player with Goal. Both eggs contained lots of pieces so you need to build the toys. Neither took very long to put together and each toy…

    Playmobil Advent Calendar Fire Rescue Operation with Card Game

    November 22, 2015 - By 

    Over the last few years we’ve been the lucky receipents of a Playmobil Advent calendar thanks to our role as a #PlaymobilPlayologist. My favourite was the Playmobil Santa’s Workshop Advent Calendar although my 5 year old loved the Playmobil Pirates Treasure Cove advent calendar. I’m a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas so I admit I was a tiny bit disappointed when we received the Playmobil Advent Calendar Fire Rescue Operation with Card Game 5495 to review. image credit Playmobil Advent Calendar Fire Rescue Operation with Card Game There’s a fire in the motorcycle workshop (diorama)!

    Playmobil City Car and Sunshine Preschool

    September 9, 2015 - By 

    We were pretty excited to receive a Playmobil delivery recently. You may remember we’re a #PLAYMOBILPlayologist family and were sent two lovely new toys to review. Over the last few years my son has reviewed the Playmobil Police Truck and Speed Boat and the Playmobil Great Asian Castle. This year was Little Sis’ turn and she was delighted to open the Playmobil Sunshine Preschool – perfect as she is starting a new nursery in a couple of weeks. Playmobil toys do not come ready to play straight out of the box so it took me a while to build the…
