A week ago we highlighted one of our favorite recent toys, Playmobil's Bunnies Treehouse set, as the first in a series of three posts about great toys from Playmobil we've run across recently.

We may have been living under a rock not to know about Playmobil's toy sets for toddlers, but the Playmobil 123 line is a happy discovery for our five-year-old.



The riding toy has a little notch the figures can sit on.


Play pieces like the bench and slide have plastic outlines that match a grid of nubbins on the base so they can be attached Lego-style.



Playmobil 123 play sets run from $8 to $18 on Amazon.com. The Playground play set costs $14; the Meadow play set is another nice one at this price point.

Playmobil toys are made of ABS plastic, and are free of BPA, phthalates, and PVC.

The Playmobil 123 set above, which was sent to us by Playmobil's U.S. distributor for evaluation, will be donated to a needy family in accordance with our Keep No Stuff reviewing policy.
