    Playmobil Back to the Future DeLorean {review}

    June 10, 2020 - By 

    At the start of lockdown in March we sat down as a family and made a list of the films we wanted to watch. It included old favourites and new releases we hadn’t got round to watching. We’ve always enjoyed watching films and with trips to the cinema out of the question, then a family film night can be just as fun. A few weeks ago we settled down to watch Back to the Future as chosen by my husband. The children loved it and watched the trailers for the other two films in the series too. We were really…

    Have you noticed that your child’s play is mirroring the real world at the moment? Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised, but I recently overheard my children playing and there was a lot of ‘social distancing’ going on with their toys.

Playmobil figures are perfect for this kind of small world play, the figures are moveable and…

    How to make a Playmobil family snow globe decoration

    November 19, 2019 - By 

    I love crafting with toys and I also love to make personalised gifts. Today I’m combining the two to make a fun Playmobil snow globe which I think would make a lovely handmade gift. It also makes a fun Christmas ornament. I’ve crafted with Playmobil figures before. The children love Playmobil so I’ve used vintage ones – Playmobil clock, Playmobil jar toppers, and vintage Playmobil figure badge.

    If you love taking the kids to the cinema then the summer holidays are great for new film releases. Last week I told you about Horrible Histories: The Movie – Rotten Romans.

    Playmobil History Roman Warriors’ Ship review

    March 29, 2017 - By 

    We’ve been a #PlaymobilPlayologist family for the past few years so we are a little sad to be bringing you our final Playmobil review today. Playmobil is a top manufacturer within preschool toys and we’ve really enjoyed working with them. Our final toy was the Roman Warriors’ Ship from the Playmobil History range.

The Playmobil History range covers the Romans and Egyptians, and includes Pharoah’s Pyramid, an Egyptian chariot, an Egyptian House, a Gladiator Arena Starter Set as well as lots of figures. I’m glad these…
