New PLAYMOBIL Ice Cream Truck Helps Create a Cool, Creative Summer!

June 11, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

When it comes to creative play and the summer, PLAYMOBIL allows kids to use their imagination to create amazing worlds and each piece that they create can be added in to help expand the universe. Now you can grab a sweet treat from the PLAYMOBIL Ice Cream Truck! Step up to the truck window to order one scoop or two and chat with friends while you enjoy your ice cream. This tasty frozen dessert is available in a dish or cone. When the day is over, the owner can close up shop but lower the window door and driving off to a new destination. Set includes one adult figure, three child figures, ice cream truck, table, ice cream, cones, dishes, ice cream scoop, beverages, and other accessories.

My Take on The PLAYMOBIL Ice Cream Truck

I have always been impressed with the quality of the PLAYMOBIL creations and the Ice Cream Truck continues to show how great they are at capturing remarkable detail but also an eye to distinct touches that will spark a great imagination and creativity in any child. This Ice Cream Truck was made the same way and really stands out. My youngest daughter loves PLAYMOBIL, but when she heard about the Ice Cream Truck she wanted to create it for herself. She took all of the parts of this out and was able to build it herself (she is 9.5). Once created she secluded herself with her other PLAYMOBIL items and really had some fun creating a story and world around what the truck was doing. If you love PLAYMOBIL, you will love the Ice Cream Truck too and I highly recommend that you pick it up today!

Holiday Gift Guide – Playmobil Adventure Tree House

December 6, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Explore life in the great outdoors with the Playmobil Adventure Tree House. Located in the heart of the forest, this house is surrounded by all sorts of wildlife. Watch as a mother bear and her cub fish for their dinner while a fox family plays nearby. Just beware of the weak spot on the bridge or you might fall through! Both a bald eagle and owl have made a home in the branches above the tree house, giving kids an up close and personal Playmobil nature experience.

The adventurers can use their equipment to learn more about their animal friends and help protect the environment. Use the pulley system to lift some of the heavier supplies up to the house. At the end of the day, keep wild visitors out by pulling up the stairs. Set includes two figures, tree house with grass platform, bears, geese, foxes, owl, bald eagle, bird with nest, rock caves, fish, fishing pole, snake, walkie talkie, computer, supply boxes, and tons of other accessories.

My Take on the Play Set

This was an amazing Playmobil set. I am always so impressed with the breadth and depth of the detail that is painstakingly put into the creation of these sets and this set was no different. From the ferns coming out of the rocks to the pulley off the tree house and more, this set comes with so many different small touches that makes the experience real and allows your childs’ imagination come alive because of the the ability to turn a playset into part of a world of possibilities. My daughter has loved this set and simply adores using this alongside of some of the other sets that she has. She truly enjoys using this set with sets that seemingly would not go together, but when she does bring them together she has hours of fun!

Playmobil Rocket Station Lets Your Child’s Imagination Soar

October 25, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

About the Playmobil Space Rocket Station

Count down to liftoff aboard the Space Rocket with Launch Site. Outfitted with working lights and sounds, this rocket is mission-ready. Use the movable maintenance platform to help the space technicians inspect the rocket prior to launch. With the help of the repair robot, they can make sure that everything is in tip-top shape for the next space mission. Set includes two figures, rocket, launch structure, satellite, repair robot, mechanical tools, computer, and tons of other accessories. Batteries not included.

My daughter is a HUGE fan of Playmobil and the new Playmobil Rocket Station really allowed her to set her thoughts on the stars by creating a part of her world that now can go skyward. As in other Playmobil sets, there are so many intricate details that are included in this set. Playmobil has left nothing to chance including working retractable arms on the platform, computers that can be brought with the characters and more.

You even have the ability to go on side missions when you get to space with the capsule that connects to the top of the rocket. You can jettison a satellite into space or even bring up a lunar robot that can check out the surface of another planet.

Fitted with working lights and sounds this rocket is ready to send your child’s imagination skyward as it did for my daughter too. I also appreciated that there was another set, the space shuttle that, if purchased can connect to the rocket itself allowing it to get to space too!

My take on the Playmobil NHL Arena
My daughter is loves Playmobil and loves to use her creativity to bring the world of Playmobil alive. She has used many different sets to create vibrant tapestries to create her own world. This new NHL arena brought in a whole new way to have fun with her creativity and we found that not only could she incorporate this set into her world, but beyond that the fact that you can actually play a hockey game against someone else made it even more fun! As is the case with other sets this set is very well made and I love all of the additional add-ons that you can purchase with this such as the Stanley Cup or even a Zamboni! Playmobil continues to offer amazing quality that will last you years! Below you will see a video that my daughter and I made to let you see the arena and to give you some more of our thoughts!

About These Products

I was so impressed with the quality of these sets, and loved that they connected to the idea of fire safety, especially during this month where it is talked about more than in other months. These sets have so much detail and you can tell that the people that design these sets take painstaking care to connect with the consumer. Both of these sets have small details that are so connected to how kids will play with the sets. From a working fire pump to other small details such as working parts on the truck or the detail on the fire uniform. Each of these details are so connected to the user that you get transported into the active and creative play that these sets promote. The toys are heavy duty and will withstand a ton. While the sets have small parts and thus should not be played with by very small children, the sets are perfect for a wide array of ages that enjoy using their imagination and creating a world around them with the people, vehicles and other connected world elements that you can get through this company. All-in-all these both were great sets and ones that I would highly recommend to all!
