It’s been a while since I posted anything Playmobil related. You may remember we’re Playmobil Playologists which means we get to share Playmobil news here with you. As part of our partnership with Playmobil we were sent two of this year’s Easter treats from Playmobil. I know Easter is a few weeks off but yesterday my children opened them. For some reason the toy inside each egg is illustrated on the packaging which totally ruins the surprise. This is the only thing I think could be improved. Big Brother received a red egg from the Playmobil Pirates range (4942), Little…

This year Playmobil have released 5 Playmobil Advent calendars – Santa’s Workshop, Unicorn Fairyland, Police, Pony Farm and Dragon’s Treasure Battle. You may remember we were fortunate to be sent the Pirates Treasure Cove calendar last year as part of our role as Playmobil Playologists. I was pretty excited to receive the Santa’s Workshop Advent Calendar as I’m a real traditionalist and love the look of this. The Pirate advent calendar was great and fun to open but had nothing to do with Christmas, this is perfect! Santa’s Workshop is designed for ages 4-10 and priced £18.99 which seems reasonable…

This means we get to share news with you about the latest Playmobil toys and events and also receive lovely Playmobil toys to review and play with. We were recently sent the new Official Playmobil Annual 2015 to review.

To coincide with this, Buster books have published The Official Playmobil Annual 2015, featuring…

We were excited to be chosen as Playmobil Playologists for the second year running. The children adore Playmobil and I find all the different sets work quite well together. We were recently sent our main review toys. Big Brother received the amazing #5479 The Great Asian Castle from the Dragons range. This was a great set for him. It took me about an hour to put together but the instructions were clear and I only needed my husband to click together some of the larger pieces. Enemies beware! The Great Asian Castle is protected by a fierce fire-breathing dragon. When…

We spent the morning at The Waldorf Hilton celebrating Playmobil’s 40th birthday party. As part of the birthday celebrations they launched The Playmobil Suite at The Waldorf Hilton, London.

A play haven for the whole family to enjoy over the summer holidays, the spacious suite will allow mummy and daddy to relax as the little ones immerse themselves in creative play with their much-loved Playmobil friends. The collaboration launches Playmobil’s impending ‘Birthday Tour’, where…

My very lucky children were recently sent early Easter presents from Playmobil, Playmobil Easter eggs. They always seem to receive lots of chocolate at Easter and these are a great alternative and a little longer lasting too! Inside the plastic shell is a Playmobil figure and the shell can be re-used as a money box. Little Sis was delighted with her magenta egg with the Flower Fairy with Enchanted Tree and Big Brother received a Biker with Motorcycle in the blue egg. Both were easy to put together and my children enjoyed playing with them and adding them to their…

I mentioned that Little Sis has been reviewing some of the Playmobil 1-2-3 range. Her older brother was sent the new Playmobil police truck with speedboat set 5187 to review. It’s a really lovely set and pretty easy to put together although the stickers are very fiddly! According to the Playmobil site: Protect by land and sea with the Police Truck with Speedboat. Race to the scene in the police truck, equipped with a removable roof and four working doors that make it easy to seat up to four figures. Kids can also embark on a water investigation with the…

We had a lovely half term break with a couple of trips into the West End, a special meeting with Tree Fu Tom and finished off with a trip to visit nanny in the countryside. Unfortunately towards the end of the week everyone started to succumb to coughs and colds and in my case, laryngitis! I don’t think I’ve felt so ill in a long time and I found out just how difficult it is to look after two small children when you’ve lost your voice. Thanks to our role as Playmobil Playologists I received a box of the latest…

As part of our role as Playmobil Playologists we were sent a Playmobil Pirates Treasure Cove advent calendar. Playmobil produce 5 advent calendars with different themes: Forest Winter Wonderland, Police, Pony Farm, Princess Wedding and Pirates Treasure Cove. We were sent the pirate themed advent calendar and behind each door is a piece of Playmobil which will build up during December to make a pirate scene. It’s a little difficult to review something without opening it so I thought I’d share some pictures from the Playmobil website. My son loves Advent and I think it’s a great way to mark…
