which playmobil advent calender for the dds??

[Nemoandthefishes]

Ds has had his 3 yrs this year and think tis now time to get the dds one..so which one do I get..DS has the park one I think with santa and a sleigh

Ooh where do you get them?

got Ds from ebay last time so will probably look there again..just browsing them now but want a nice christmas theme..not the fairy one although DDs would adore that

ohh was just looking at the animal feeding one as they would love it

We've had one for years...and i wanted a new one . In the end i brought the one that isn't a calender but just a nativity scene and split it into the boxes i already had.

I know this is a silly question but how do these avent calenders work?

you have to assemble them it advance, putting all the bits into the 24 boxes, and them they have a box to open every day. They take a couple of hours to assemble!

I was wondering the same thing

I've just bought the Animal Feeding one for DD, I think she will love it.

oh yes they are really good

But how do they work?????

each day you open a little box to help set the scene. Ds absolutely loves his and its best £14 I have spent. He was 2 and a couple of months when we first got it and he is 5 on friday and has just been talking about it which is what reminded me I need to get one for the dds who will be 3 and 2 this christmas

the boxes then hang on a big cardboard picture, and each day you open one up and it gradually makes a scene. The scene itself is also cardboard.

They do lego city ones as well [overexcited emoticon]

You get all the little pieces that make up the scene and all the numbered boxes with the instructions telling you which pieces go in which box
All the boxes go on a card hanger
Then you get a cardboard background scene on to which you gradually assemble your scene day by day with the characters and accessories.

x posts..belgo said it better

I think I'm going to get dd the animal feeding one - she had one last year which was a great success but I just bunged all the bits into her playmobil box despite my good intentions to reuse it !! She'd love the fairy one but it just seems it should be christmassy....

Oh I understand now. I missed your first post belgo.

What a lovely idea. DD will be just turned 1, do you think she will be a bit young?

yes one year is a bit too young! The pieces will be far too small for her. Unless you want to get it for yourself

You caught me out!

Oh they look gorgeous I absolutely love playmobil.
I might get the animal feeding on too.
Thankyou

I've got the Knights one for me ds1.

We have a Playmobile one - have it about 4 years now. Bought the Lego City one last year and I hated it. NOT Xmassy! I had threads on here moaning!

So will invest in a new Playmobile one this year!

we would lose multiple crucial bits within minutes. categorically. we will not be getting one of these for that reason (and if someone gives one to any of mine i will syphon it off and give it to someone else before they notice)
look nice tho.
shame we dont do 'bits'.
