...and so I'm bringing you another advent calendar this year, showing what the Playmobil people are getting up to in the run up to Christmas.

Matthias is putting up his Christmas decorations and Marta has come over to help him.

This is the most festive and cheery thing I’ve seen in a while! Absolutely love it. I can’t believe I’ve never spotted it before on MN!! Definitely place making to enjoy the rest of the month!! 100% should be made into a book!! Xmas Grin

Love these threads, only discovered them this summer.

My daughter has the Playmobil 123 advent calendar (had one last year too) and is starting to make little scenes this year (she's 3). Yesterday everyone was queuing to see Santa - including a dog and a cow, today everyone was at Cat's birthday party 😃

I see a lot of Playmobil in our future and can't wait!

These lovely scenes inspired me to make little cartoon strips for my mum and sister about each new gift from the playmobil grotto advent.

Thanks for the inspiration @SoMuchToBits

Emil and Franz are sledging, and so are Jonas and Steffi. Matthias chats to Ludwig while the children play in the snow.

I'm not really sure how I'd make this into a book - and then I don't think many people would buy it.

PurpleGoose I love the dog and cow queuing for Santa! Xmas Grin]

Reinhardt the Bear is my favourite (so far!). And I have a friend called Silke so double win!

FuzzyPuffling · 16/12/2019 10:36

I'd buy a book. And one for the grandchildren too.

This is so lovely. I loved playing with Playmobile when I was little. I will have to get it all out for DS when he is big enough

PurpleGoose · 16/12/2019 21:05

It's not very big @somuchtobits looks more like a snow mound with a hole in it to me 😆

@SoMuchToBits you must have some very full notebooks keeping track of all the names, couples, families and extended family trees. Not to mention the place names, jobs and workplace relationships!
