Versatile- play with it inside, take it outside, pack it up and bring it along with you to grandma’s, even take it into the tub- is the new Playmobil Take Along Zoo and Aquarium. This set comes with trees, pools, fences, and quite a few animals (such as zebras, giraffes, lions, fish, walrus) and human caretakers as well. All of these pieces fit easily into the case, which folds up and is easy to store or take along. When open, one side is the zoo, and the other the aquarium. Your child can really fill it up with water and let the sea creatures have a swim. It comes with quite a lot of pieces for one set, and there is room in the case for a few more should your child have some other “animal friends” that want to visit. Available for $49 on Playmobil’s site.
If you are stuck inside like many of us this winter (the temperatures have been crazy lately- more days in the negative then the positive degrees for much of the country) you are breaking out fun indoor playthings. Some inexpensive ways to replenish or restock are by American Plastic Toys- made right here in the USA, and really low cost. Take the Fashion Doll Coupe- for only $5 (yes, really) you and your kids can take your toys cruising all over the house. Since the wheels are plastic, they won’t leave those ugly and annoying black marks on your floors, either. The car is a two seater, and fits most popular dolls as well as smaller stuffed animals and toys.
If your little one has been hankering for a dollhouse, this might be a good time to get her one. The Fashion Doll Delightful Dollhouse is huge- with several floors and access from all sides for easy play, this
American Plastic Toys dollhouse makes it easy for multiple kids and their parents to play together at the same time. For just $100, you get the dollhouse as well as furnishings and accessories. It comes with several beds, a couch, ottomans, a bathtub, tables and chairs, lamps, a washer/dryer set, pillows, and more. You get quite a lot for your money. It works well with most 11-12 inch popular dolls. (Think Barbie sized). There is also a smaller size available for $50 called the Fashion Doll Cozy Cottage. It also comes with accessories and all your child needs to start playing right away.
My kids get so antsy if they cannot get outside in the winter!
I love that doll house such a unique take on it. I also really love the Playmobil Take Along Zoo and Aquarium, looks like a lot of fun.
