Let's play happy families.
Come on play with me and one of my grandchildren's toys. It's the playmobil family with a stroller.

The playmobil world is massive houses, castles, farms, hospitals and fantasy worlds.
Playmobil is a company begun in 1876, making locks and other metal work by Andreas Brandstätter a locksmith. In 1958 in 1958 the hula hoop craze gripped the world, and Horst Brandstätter made hula hoops for this company after this success began making other plastic toys.
Playmobil toys made of colourful plastic , they are very good strong and long lasting there is plenty of play value in their toys. Children love to re-enact their lives and make up pretend stories for their playmobil people and their equipment.
Playmobile is easy to clean and is often the choice for children's play centres and schools.
Playmobil toys are suitable for 4+ year olds due to the fact the limbs are moveable and a bit fiddly for a younger child there are also some small parts that a child who is still mouthing can put in their mouths.

The playmobil family consists of mum, dad, two children one bigger/older than the other. A stroller pushchair, a dog. There is a balloon with a face on that the play Mobil child can hold. Dad or mum paymobil can carry the plastic camera that is also provided. Their arms and legs are moveable their heads can twist from side to side.
This family is a white family they all have smiling faces. "Mum" has blond hair and pink rosy cheeks she also has eyebrows and long eyelashes. She is wearing white trousers a red top and a blue jacket. " Dad"" has a smiling mouth and dots for eyes He has shortish brown hair. Dad could be used as a girl doll too as his features are fairly neutral. His clothes blue trousers a stripy top a beige jacket. The children also could be either sex they are wearing trousers and jumpers the elder child a ginger haired child has freckles on their face, the plastic dog is white with brown splodgy patches. The blue stroller has handles that can be pushed by mum dad or the child the handles fitting into their hands.

This family add a lot to your child imaginary play I hear my grandchildren talking taking the role of one of the figures and talking for it as they push the stroller around. This toy goes well with the other playmobil toys or another doll house or play scene.

Your child can re-enact real situations and as such is good for play therapy.
