Enchanted Wood and Playmobil

June 16, 2012 by admin 89 Comments

Since having baby H, I’ve only managed to go shopping a handful of times, choosing instead to shop online. I’d forgotton the simple pleasure of going into an actual shop and looking around, being able to see everything all in one place.

Z, H and I went to have a look around the Enchanted Wood toy shop in Farnham. As soon as Z saw the giant Lego figure by the door he was absolutely mesmerised and when we stepped inside couldn’t hide his excitement, there were shelves full of Playmobil, LEGO and every other toy you could imagine. I realised for the first time just how loud H’s voice has become as she ran around shouting ‘rabbit, man, cars…Mummy…LOOK‘.

The staff were all super friendly and helpful, we will definitely be going back. As easy as internet shopping is, a real shop is so much better.

Jane from Enchanted Wood, kindly gave us some Playmobil to review.

The Airport Shuttle Bus is from the 1,2,3 Β range. It is super cute, sturdy and great fun.

H has loved putting the little people in and pulling them out, making them talk to each other and zooming around with it on the floor. The figures are brightly coloured and nicely rounded making them perfect for learning through play.

H sometimes has trouble fitting the suitcases in the bus and has to turn them around so I know it’s helping develop her spatial awareness, she also likes counting the people as she puts them in.

The only thing we didn’t like was that the arms of the figures are fixed to their sides. H kept trying to move them and got a bit frustrated.

The Playmobil 1,2,3 range seems like the perfect introduction to Playmobil, and is recommended from 18 months. I would definitely buy more for H.

We received the airport shuttle bus free of charge to review, all words and opinions are my own.

    Thanks for your kind comments Emma. We love the Playmobil 123 Shuttle Bus too; the self-correcting suitcases are great for shape matching and dexterity. With an older brother and older sister’s toys to play with, I can understand H’s frustration with the lack of mobility of the 123 figures. It sounds like she’s ready to move on to the regular Playmobil figures that move!

    Your pictures are fantastic. Were you a professional photographer in a former life? They would look great in the Playmobil catalogue!

      Thanks Jane, I’ve only just spotted this comment.

      My photo’s are totally down to the fact that we have quite a good camera, no skill involved I’m afraid!

    My girls love playmobil, theres so many different things to collect, but I think what they’ve enjoyed so far is the carry along playhouse, because of the way it all packs away, and can be taken with them x

    actually, my favourite product is probably no longer being made, but if you look back 20 years ago I bought my son a rubbish truck by playmobil, it had a ton of rough handling and still looked new when my daughter played with it 3 years later. I now have a 16 month old and cannot wait to get her playmobil toys. I love the new pirate ship and I think there was a big castle too.
