Playmobil Sets for Children of All Ages
Playmobil is an immensely popular brand and most homes have several sets in regular use. The brand has been around since the 70’s and despite the proliferation of electronic gadgets, Playmobil sets remain as popular today as they were 55 years ago.
There is a huge range of Playmobil sets to choose. This creative toy crosses every cultural divide and every age is catered for – there are even sets for the under fours. Kids can start off with small sets and build up their savings until they can afford a full play set. The great thing about Playmobil is that there is something for everyone. Children can play with themed fire trucks or knights in castles; the range is vast and ever expanding.
Playmobil encourage children to use their imagination. Open up a set and kids can create a wonderful imaginary world of creative play. Each set encourages kids to develop empathy and hone their fine motor skills. The arms and legs move on each of the figures, so your children can devise all kinds of fun play adventures that reflect real life situations.
We love Playmobil sets and we think you will to, so here are some of the best to explore.

Camping Trip Playset
You don’t need to worry about the weather when you have a Playmobil Camping Trip playset. Every day is a sunny day and your child’s play figures will have hours of fun. They can sleep in the four-man tent, prepare meals on the hot plate, and sit down at the folding table and chairs. The set includes three figures, a cat, a foldable pop-up tent, and various camping accessories.
