Having Fun with London Playsets & Cards

*** contains affiliate links ***

We are all in love with our wooden London Playset/s which we acquired recently.  It’s so precious and beautiful that I can’t seem to take it out the bag!  

Now how do we use these figures?

As LEGO would say it, “imagination is the limit!”, we use these wooden materials in so many ways!  We use it for imaginative play, setting up the London city with trains and cars and use our Playmobil figures to play pretend as tourists.

And to enhance its educational value,   I created a picture booklet with cards so we can learn more about the story behind the icons.  Another playset we’re using is the Playmobil where we’re using the Queen as an additional  character in our set.  The picture book that we have has this beautiful clip arts of United Kingdom’s landmarks (including Scotland and Wales).  Mavi reads the picture book as he identifies the figure. 

Vito is the one who mostly uses the cards (Mavi uses the outline pages for colouring) as he loves identifying and matching things.

Now a little bit of the London playset, the Big Ben and London Bridge are stackable, and is made up of little pieces.  It doesn’t bother me though. Mavi suggests we glue them but I don’t really want to do that.  The London Eye is impressive, Vito loves to spin it! 

Of course, it wouldn’t be London without those iconic “red” buses, guards, postal kiosk  and  telephone box.

I am so pleased with this toy, and when not in use as a toy, you can display it in your shelf to add colours to your sitting room.  I couldn’t recommend this enough!
