Summer is beginning and our children will be home much more often very soon. Instead of learning, working on school assignments, or playing with classmates, they will be home with us and it will be our job, as parents, to have a plan to keep them entertained and make sure they have a fun summer. Most of us parents cannot afford to take them to an amusement park or on other adventures every day of the week. Instead, find them some fun toys that they will enjoy playing with throughout the summer. Not only will it keep them entertained, but it can also give you a much-needed break. That’s why I am so glad to have found the Playmobil Take Along Playsets. I have the Take Along Fairy Unicorn Garden for my daughter and the 1.2.3 My Take Along Farm for my son.
The Take Along Fairy Unicorn Garden is something my daughter has been loving lately. It is a magical world that has fairies and unicorns. You enter through the large mystic gate, and can then go to the peaceful meadow or tranquil waterfall with your unicorn friends. One thing that I love about this play set is how compact and travel-friendly it is. All of the extra pieces can be stored inside so that they do not get lost. The play set folds up when your kids are finished playing and can then be carried by the handle on top of the playset. It makes clean up after play time so much easier and less of a hassle. This set includes a fairy, three unicorns, doves, rabbits, and other pieces as well. It is recommended for children four years or older and retails for just over thirty dollars. I don’t see my daughter giving up this toy anytime soon.
The other Playmobil set I have is the 1.2.3 My Take Along Farm for my son. The set comes with multiple pieces for extra-long playing time including farm animals (dog, cat, pig, cow, bird), a barrel, a trough, a pitchfork, a crate, and other accessories. I’ve always been hesitant about buying any toys that have lots of extra pieces, but it’s so convenient that all the parts can be stored right inside the playset. I like that this can be used to teach my young son to pick up after himself as well. It also has the handle for easy traveling. This Playmobil playset features a bright and colorful design as well as large, rounded pieces. It is ideal for toddlers but can be used by any children 12 months or older. This farm play set retails for just over forty dollars. I find my son reaching for this toy as much or more than any of his other toys lately.
Both of these Playmobil Take Along Playsets can be found at most major retail stores and independent toy retailers. I love that they make ones for both boys and girls. As much as my children love these, I would guess that they won’t be getting bored of them anytime soon.
