PLAYMOBIL’s New Horse-Centric Play Sets Help Imaginations to Roam Free!


It's hard to believe that summer is here! My boys finished the school year and are adjusting to their new schedules that involve a mixture of spending time at home, day camps, and short trips.  In effort to avoid hearing, "Mom, I'm bored!" or "May I have more screen time", I stocked up on new workbooks, craft kits, and toys that encourage creativity.  In today's post, I'll tell you about the toy sets that were the biggest hit of all -- PLAYMOBIL's Country play sets!


The first set is the PLAYMOBIL Horseback Riding Lessons (70995): Gallop into fun adventures with the Horseback Riding Lessons. Two beautifully-constructed stalls are equipped with all the necessities for teaching newcomers how to ride. The instructor starts by showing the child the importance of grooming and caring for a horse.  Once the horse's coat is gleaming, the instructor helps the girl onto the pony, and the lesson begins!  The fenced-in yard offers ample space for lessons with both the horse and pony, as riders learn to maneuver their new friend. The girl's mother stands by the fence to cheer her on! When lessons are over, remove the horse's saddle and bridal and hang them up in the stall. Play with this set on its own or add it to the rest of the PLAYMOBIL Riding Lessons theme (#70995-71000 - each sold separately) for even more horse play!  Set includes two adult figures, one child figure, stable, fencing, saddles, helmets, feed, pitchfork, flower box, horse blanket, and many other riding accessories.  This set is for ages 4 to 10. This set is available at playmobil.us and Amazon. The retail price is $49.99.


This Horseback Riding Lesson set is our favorite set. My boys have a large age gap and both love this set! My older son did most of the building while my preschooler assisted him and worked on small tasks such as putting the characters together.  It was fun to see their teamwork!  Now that the set is built, my preschooler doesn't want to put the pieces down. It has provided many hours of fun!


The next set is the PLAYMOBIL Pony Wagon (70998): Take advantage of good with a fun Pony Wagon ride! The little girls loads up the wagon with food for both herself and the pony before climbing into the coach seat and taking the reins. Found some fresh grass?  Remove the holster so the horse can graze freely instead. The wagon's removable cover makes it easy to load and unload supplies from the main storage space. Play with this set on its own or add it to the rest of the PLAYMOBIL Riding Lessons theme (#70995-71000 - each sold separately) for even more horse fun!  Set includes one figure, pony, wagon, feed, riding helmet, apples, and many other accessories. This set is for ages 4 to 10. This set is available at playmobil.us and Amazon. The retail price is $11.99.

This set is awesome because pony wagon rides are magical to little ones!  My boys worked together to assemble it. I enjoyed seeing their teamwork. Afterwards, I enjoyed watching my sweet preschooler spend hours playing with this pony wagon.  It's funny because he has been waking up early and going straight to his play area to enjoy this set!


The last set that I want to feature is the PLAYMOBIL Icelandic Ponies with Foals (71000): Want to fill your stables? Then, these Icelandic Ponies with Foals are just what you need. The ponies can even be ridden by figures. Add this set to the rest of the PLAYMOBIL Riding Lessons theme (#70995-71000 - each sold separately) for even more fun!  Set includes two adult ponies and two foals with a basket of hay. This set is for ages 4 to 10. This set is available at playmobil.us and and Amazon. The retail price is $11.99.

This set is a must-have because I witnessed firsthand how much my preschooler loves the two adult ponies, two foals, and basket of hay.  It's fun to watch him use his imagination as the ponies and foals spend time together!

I hope that you enjoyed this glimpse into the fabulous PLAYMOBIL play sets!  They are great to purchase for kids that will be home for summer or any upcoming birthday parties that you will attend!
