The Playmobil Advent Calendar 2011 range is one of the toy company’s best selection of seasonal sets for years, and being Playmobil that is saying something!
The calendars are designed so that children reveal part of a playset each day and in the end have figures, accessories and a background to play with-talk about value.

Lets take a look.
Playmobil Advent Calendar 2011 Range

Help Santa and his helpers make their deliveries for the holiday season. The Advent Calendar “Christmas Post Office” contains twenty-four surprise items for each day of Advent.

It’s worth noting that like most Advent calendars the Playmobil Advent calendars are not dated so the sets released last year and the year before can still be used this year. Stores like Amazon have a full range of the Playmobil Advent Calendars for this and previous years so if your child isn’t into dinosaurs or Knights, one of the other themes may interest them.
Pony Ranch, Xmas in the Forest, Unicorn fairy World, Police and Nativity Advent Calendars are currently available for reasonable prices at Amazon.
Playmobil Advent Calendar 2011 – What Others Are Saying
- “This is a rather unique idea in my experience. I’ve seen advent calendars with chocolate or individual toys but this Playmobil Advent Calendar lets you build the characters over time. By the end of the month you have a finished set and a fun background to play against. Even as an adult I had fun with this!”
- “I was a little reluctant at first to buy a $20 advent calendar when I usually spend a couple of bucks for one with chocolates inside.
But for all the little Playmobil fans out there, this calendar is worth every penny. There are a ton of toys in it, and it comes with a cardboard scene that you can put together easily.” - “We love advent calendars at our house. It so keeps the children from worry you to death about opening presents under the tree. This is a very nice set, very durable”

The Christmas theme is completed by two new themes for the PLAYMOBIL Advent Calendars, the undisputed number 1 among the toy advent calendars. Behind each of the 24 little windows is an original PLAYMOBIL surprise providing a fascinating playtime scenario right up until Christmas:

In the detailed Christmas Post Office advent calendar, the cute little angel is passing the children’s letters on to Father Christmas. He is looking after the requests personally. Two Christmas elves are loading the reindeer sled for the next delivery. The red postbox is already full of letters again – will they have everything ready in time?
