Back to School with Playmobil
Sunday, August 22, 2010
As if we don't have enough Playmobil playsets already -- we own a Victorian Townhouse, a Knight's Castle and the Wildlife Care Station -- they keep coming up with new collections to tempt me into buying them! One of their latest, the School Playworld, is perfect for back-to-school imaginative play. If my kids were about to enter preschool or kindergarten I could totally use it as an excuse to get Playmobil's new Furnished School Building, because the playset would be a great way to prepare kids for unfamiliar situations by using the playset to act them out. Alas, my kids don't have any such back-to-school fears. I guess I'll just have to fall back on my old standby -- that you can never have too many Playmobil sets!
PLAYMOBIL is introducing the School playworld, a brand new collection that will spark kids’ imaginations and prepare them for another exciting year of school.
A leading toy manufacturer both in the U.S. and around the world, PLAYMOBIL is well known for its iconic toys that provide children with continuous hours of open-ended imaginative play. The School playworld, is no exception. As the collection’s feature set, the Furnished School Building set is equipped with everything a real school has – a variety of classrooms, PLAYMOBIL figures and accessories, a functioning bell and chalkboard – all of which will leave kids looking forward to school long after the final bell has rung.
The Furnished School Building retails for $169.99 and the fun doesn’t stop there. Kids and parents can add more to their school with the School Gym, School Cafeteria, School Band and more. In recognition of it’s kid-friendly and educational, yet imaginative aspects, the PLAYMOBIL Furnished School Building recently won a National Parenting Center Toy Award – one of the most respected toy awards in the industry.

Toys R Us has it for $105! Not sure if it is as fully furnished or if there is some difference in quantity or quality??? But $105 versus $170?
Toys R Us has an exclusive version of the School called "the Small School" and it cuts off the right hand side of the building from the stairs over (so no office, no restrooms, no top classroom). It would also come with fewer accessories, but it is big savings. (You also wouldn't be able to use the expansion set to raise the building to 3 floors)
