Does your Father Christmas assemble complicated toys in advance...

[santaslittleunicorn]

or leave them in the boxes, to be assembled later by mummy/daddy?

oh god yes the playmobil house - it took us both an enitre evening (approx. 4 hrs)to assemble - and does it ever get played with? Does it chuff!

Yes, all assembling has to be done beforehand. If it's something big it then goes under a blanket. Fair too stressful sticking all those stickers on on Christmas morning.

He removes any tie wraps inside the boxes and adds batteries. One year though he did assemble a small tramploine, which i believe took him about three hours!!!

oh yes, we glued down all those flowers and the children promptly ripped all of the off again...

Cheers you are making me feel that this is £80 really well spent ! Actually they haven't dismantled the other Playmobil things they've had and are generally pretty careful so live in hope !! Does it fit together on their System X ?

Why would he assemble them? That is the job for drunk fathers who've eaten too much at Christmas lunch
