Despite all of the amazing tech gifts there are available, it is the timeless classics that routinely rank as the most desired by children and parents alike. One of my personal favourites would have to be PLAYMOBIL and the endless line-up of worlds to build and play with. Each of the sets comes with everything you need to create a new neighborhood to grow your imagination in, like a farm, tree house and even outer space!
I think every parent or caregiver would agree that they want the toys they purchase to provide not only an entertaining experience for their child, but also one that instills good play habits, like sharing and promotes healthy child development and encourages children to take care of their belongings. With PLAYMOBIL, all of these things are possible and so much more. I love to watch my own children play with their PLAYMOBIL sets together. They laugh, get excited and seem genuinely happy to be playing with one another. And they are six years apart in age!
Being typical Canucks, my kiddos have loved playing with the PLAYMOBIL hockey arena they own and were delighted with the arrival of the newest additions to the NHL Series:
- NHL Rivalry Series
- NHL Score Clock With Referees
- NHL Stanely Cup Presentations
These fun sets allow your favourite athletes to compete against a challenging roster of teams with the NHL® Rivalry Set and ensure a fair game by keeping track of the score with the NHL® Score Clock with Referees. Skate, pass and shoot alongside the best to seal the victory and bring home the Cup! Your children and their friends will have a blast!
