My son received this cool Playmobil zoo/farm for Christmas and I'm really glad he did as I used to play with play mobile when I was younger and loved it but this is the first set we have had since I had kids. On the box it says that it's suitable for the age 1 and a half plus and I would say that is about right even though my son enjoys playing with it now at 14 months. All the pieces are solid and fairly chunky and do not have small parts so there is nothing you would be worried about a little kid swallowing. The pieces are also quite robust and stand up to a lot of banging and heavy play from my kids. The pieces are basically just big lego pieces really and are intended for smaller children who are too small for lego.

This is such a nice set as it includes lots of different pieces to really make it fun and you can come up with a lot of different games and situations to play on the farm.

The set hardly needed any putting together as its all pretty much whole to begin with. all i needed to do was add some green palms to the trunk of a palm tree, the top of a bush to another tree and link the fences together. Then, you are ready to play.

Firstly I think the animals are brilliant. There is a giraffe, an elephant, a zebra, a horse with a saddle on, a bird, a sheep, a rabbit and my personal favourite a very cool monkey who you can sit in the tree. The animals are all pretty true to life in colour and size (compared to each other that is, they are not life size!) and it's easy to spot who is who.

The farm comes with a tractor and a trailer and so you can transport the animals in it if you wish or put them in the pasture with the fences around them. The animals have some water troughs and also some bundles of grass for them to eat which is great.

There is also the farmers family that comes with the set because of course you need a whole family on the farmer. There is the farmer in some workwear overalls who can drive the tractor and the farmers wife who has a baby that she pushes around in its own little pram. There is also a little girl and a male tourist with a camera round his neck who you can play visit the farm with. If he gets tired there's a nice bench where he can sit down and watch the goings on down on the farm. All of the people come with legs that you can bend at the hips so they are all able to stand up or sit down which is nice

From the box you can see that the adult people measure 7cm and the child measures 5.5cm so there's no chance of swallowing them.

We have a lot of fun playing with this and I'm sure you will too. Like I've said above this was a gift but I had a quick look on Amazon and this is retailing for £35.99.
