effing playmobil - too many damn bits?

today we tidied up the playmobil house

it was a bit of a danger area - kids under the rug, wheelchairs upturned in the garden, dogs under the car, toilet in the kitchen etc etc

and every single time we do this I edit out another 100 tiny items from the Playmobil world - tiny flowers the size of a newborn's fingernail, tiny knives that I can't see without glasses (and I don't even wear glasses), tiny backpacks, remote control cars (?) and wine bottles in a crate

does anyone's kids actually play with this flotsam or is it just to keep the vacuum happy?

I would say it's a little bit young but you could always buy it and hide the teeny tiny pieces for a while.Ds3(just 3) has the police car policeman/woman but I have taken their 'equipment' away for now.

Does anyone know if there is a Playmobil 'robber' available?

Does anyone elses child throw a complete wobbly if they LOSE a piece? We had 30 minutes of hystrionics at PILs last week when DS2 (4) thought Grandma had thrown away a squirrel... (found in playmobil cave later by Mummy)

Cappucino
We bought one of the playmobil houses for DD. Absolutely DETEST it! Everytime she played with it bits of it fell off, such a rip off.
Have now packed it away hoping she will forget about it!

kikidee Ds was 3 at the beginning of the month and he has the construction super set which he loves. Has also beenbought the pirates treasure chest and the helicopter rescue set both of which I have been told are quite good for his age.

poppyh that's a shame

dd has had hers for 2 years now and it has always been her favourite toy

has received many a battering unscathed; three house moves and various 'accidents' and deliberate destructions by visiting 'boyfriends'

would recommend to anyone

dd loves her house too. We've lost a few flowers and a pair of slippers thgouh . Have even bought extra level and staircases and after intial probelms is much more stable and played with constantly.

ds' pirates don't have many coins though - most still in the box on their plastic grid, lol!
