New Playmobil Sets: Knights, Motorcycles and Fairy Princesses

Andrew Excited about the Playmobil Motorcycles

Recently we received six new Playmobil sets to play with and review. We received two Knights, two Fairy Princesses and two Motorcycles. Opinions of these sets are 100% my own.

When I was a little kid I had a few Playmobil figures. I had some soldiers with horses. They were some some frontier set. I enjoyed playing with them very much. My cousin had a Playmobil pirate ship and I really liked playing with that. The toys are just so simple and fun. They make for great unstructured play. You can create your own story with them. Eva is at the point where she is making up a narrative when she plays and Andrew is sort of getting to the point where he is making things up. He’s not at the point where he is creating his own stories like Eva is but he is coming along in his play. When he saw the box of toys he was very excited to start playing with the motorcycles. I had him pegged for the Superbike but he was all about the Eagle Cruiser. That chopper style cycle that looks very Easy Rider-esque.

Tonight when everyone came home Eva wanted to play with something so I took the build your own lightsaber toy from my latest Cooper & Kid Kit. This new kit is all about Light. I haven’t had time to really dive into it yet but there are some fun activities inside. Once Eva had played with the lightsaber Andrew wanted his turn. The lightsaber building kit is fun. You can switch out lenses to make the light more diffused or focused. You can also choose from 4 different colors. The one thing I wasn’t that impressed with was how easily the color crystals pop right out. They don’t stay in well at all. Sure this isn’t really a playable toy but rather a Science experiment but still. It would have been perfect if it was a bit bigger and if the crystals stayed in place.
