Playmobil in Building Play Sets(100)

What are some good toy choices that two or three kids can play with together?

Large play sets with multiple character figures and activities give two or more children extra play options with the same toy. Kids learn to share and take turns, but no one has to wait to actually interact with a larger play set. Indoor tents and non-competitive games lead to cooperative play, too. Playsets that require more than one actor, like a grocery store clerk and a shopper or a teacher and a student, encourage kids to play-act the roles together.

How do I decide on a first play set to build a collection for my child?

Consider your child's interests, and imagine the type of world they'd like to engage with. Do they want a small town with a hospital, school, playground, and zoo? An outdoor-themed play camp with RVs and tents? A fantasy world with dragons and unicorns? Choose a base play set with your chosen theme, like a dollhouse, fire station, ski lodge, gym, horse farm, or castle that includes some furnishings and characters. Add new characters, accessories, and additional play sets that complement your base set to grow your child's collection.

Which ages can play with playsets that have figurines?

Most play sets include small parts, so it's recommended that children be at least age 4 before playing with them. Check individual product descriptions to learn the recommended ages for specific toys.
