How to support local and your child’s development this Christmas with Playmobil

We love nothing better than seeing our kids off of screens and playing with proper old-school toys. The excitement in their voices, the cute little scenarios they come up with, hearing their imagination and the little worlds they create – it’s not only adorable to watch, it’s also incredibly good for their development.

Theories of pay have been around since the early 1900s and have shaped how we interpret our children’s interactions with the world around them. ‘Play is the child’s work’, Maria Montessori said, and we agree!

Because when our kids are making their Barbie and Lego Men take over the world one bad guy at a time, they’re not just messing around and being a kid – they’re constantly learning and developing with each interaction.

They sharpen their communication and social skills by simulating conversations and scenarios, whether it’s between trucks or animals. What looks like them just creating a mess and playing around in the sandpit is a sensory learning experience. Playacting simulates the world and scenarios around them as they learn how to deal with socially and intellectually challenging environments.

Which is why it’s so important to have the tools readily available to them to explore these worlds and experiences through play. The Playmobil brand has understood the importance of encouraging children’s imagination since the 1970s, with their creative and imagination- inspiring sets that allow children the freedom and opportunity to engage in play. Multifunctional and designed with a simplicity, their sets -like their new family fun Zoo range - are made with children’s imaginations and creativity in mind.

With everything from tigers to zebras to orangutans, let their imaginations run wild in this zoo set that comes complete with vets, visitors and souvenirs!

Baby lion cubs, cuddly koalas or a hilarious family of meerkats – whatever animal your child wants to discover can be found at the Playmobil zoo! The perfect gift this Christmas, is the gift of play.
