ELC Big City Wooden Garage warning...

[MTWTFSS]

It is an amazing toy but it took me ages to put together :( Took me 45 minutes

I put it together upside down the first time

You also need superglue to stick down the ramps, barriers and petrol pumps.

The Cosy Coupe car takes an age as well. That's tough to slot together too.

I let DH do the Cozy Coupe. It sat abandoned in the living room for a couple of weeks waiting for DH to bring home his screwdriver set from work

The Playmobil school took me two hours to build last year. Luckily, a friend had warned me as otherwise I would have only finished it just before DD woke up to see what Santa had brought her. As it was, I made it a few days in advance and stored it at a neighbours.

DH and I nearly ruined christmas last year by arguing whilst making the playmobil house. Was all going great until we got to the roof...2 hours it took.

Oh the happy memories of toys we have had to assemble. The ELC climbing frame that reduced dh to profanity. The toy kitchen that the dses kept taking the one, vital interlocking rod out of, so it fell apart - I got b
Very good at reassembling that one.

And Lego kits - oh God, the Lego kits. Dumbledore's office drove me to drink, one Christmas Day

I assembled many a toy during the ten years I worked there.

I never had a problem I did have a problem with the male customers who would see me with a screwdriver and sometimes a hammer in my hand and felt they needed to make comments about my capability in order to keep their masculinity happy...

If you think that's bad you want to start your DCs on Playmobil!!

We bought DD the Princess Castle for her birthday in June. It was in 562 pieces and took DH 4 hours to put together. I think by the end some of the tiny stickers were stuck in a slightly wonky fashion!!
