Have looked everywhere I can think of, not a thing. DS is obsessed with trafic jams etc (urban child) and can't for the life of me find anything like this. WOuld love traffic lights, car park barrier thingies that move up and down but that aren't attached to a huge garage or similar.

i made some traffic lights out of black card and cut up three coloured circles to make the lights, then attached them to an old curtain pole.

Playmobil ones?

The playbobil ones Jackie linked to are great fun - they have a battery so actually light up!

I have a wooden brio type traffic light if you want it. I have to find it first though and it could be ANYWHERE!

Oh my god Playmobil is perfect. Went through their entire website today and every single shelf in Toys R US and various others. Didn't see any of that at all. Thank you thank you. Will order tonight and have them ready for DS birthday in two weeks or so.

Brio type traffic light would be fab too, if you can find it and it's not too much bother. Have tried quirky little dolls house wooden type one man band shop and still no avail and not keen to do one to order either.

Wish I'd asked sooner have wasted hours in last few weeks...Wow! Thanks ladies, I love Mumsnet!

Don't worry about that. It's only a stamp. I'll have a hunt in the morning.
