Giveaway: Playmobil fairytale carriage set
16 November 10
This Playmobil giveaway is not only one of my favourite things, but a favourite toy of my girls. If we could only keep one toy, this would be it.
Playmobil is a quality European plastic toy with a longevity that matches Lego. It’s durable, open-ended and enjoyed equally by boys and girls. We love Playmobil, although we call it “little people” in our non-brand-name-conscious way.
My sister gave us this set several months ago, and the girls have enjoyed it so much that I’m giving an identical set away. The carriage has been extremely educational, the accessories and the skirts on the lady and girl can be removed (ideal for girls who like dressing and undressing dolls), and the whole set can be played with together or as individual pieces.
I’ve featured Playmobil many times on Sparkling Adventures. I’ve used it for Sunday School lessons, built a dollhouse for the Playmobil scale, cleaned it up off individual squares on the floor, and have constantly been amazed at how creatively the girls play with it.
So, in the true spirit of generosity, I’d like to hear if you know anyone who’ll enjoy playing with this Playmobil set as much as my girls. (Please familiarise yourself with the guidelines for this giveaway before you leave a comment.)

our little friend, sofie, would certainly enjoy this playmobil set. my daughter and i met sofie and her mama about a year ago at the local library story time. they have since become dear friends. they are from the czech republic and sofie’s mama only speaks czech to sofie. as any truly bilingual person knows, growing up with two languages can often times delay both languages (but language skills are then advanced in a matter of a few years). sofie often times can’t truly communicate with my little girl (they are both about 2 years old), unless they are sharing a toy or game together. i think this playmobil set would be ideal for sofie to play creatively (with or without language).
thank you for the generous giveaway!

I’ve got a very good friend, single mother with 3 children on the Autism spectrum. Her youngest child is a 4yo girl who – on the day of her 4th birthday no less – was officially diagnosed with Leukemia. They are facing 3 years of chemotherapy. I’d love to give this cool present to the little girl as she can’t leave the house other than to visit the hospital.

I would like to nominate my dear friend, Robin. She and her two children just returned home from Saipan, where she had to leave her husband behind for the next 2 years while he finishes out a contract for work. She could not stay in Saipan as her daughter was constantly getting sick, and her infant had developed a fungus. She is now home (staying with another friend), without toys or belongings. She and her husband had sold everything in order to move to Saipan for his job. I would love for her 3 year old daughter to receive this toy. Before they left they gave my own children quite a bit of clothing and toys. Now they’re left without many possessions at all. I am enjoying your adventures!

It’s lovely to hear how others are reaching out to friends in need. I’m sorry I only have one of these sets to give away…
Congratulations to Marita who will be receiving this for her friend!
