Time for a holiday

Just looking at this Family Van with Boat and Trailer set from Playmobil makes us want to jump in the car and head off to the seaside.

Everything is included to make sure that the little Playmobil family of four has a great day at the beach. A picnic hamper is bursting with goodies and a brown holdall is sure to contain all those other beach essentials.

There are even toys for your toys to play with – a bucket and spade, a watering can and a little boat. A big red suitcase makes it look like the Playmobil family is planning on staying away for a while (and with the weather we’ve had recently, who can blame them?).

The Playmobil family has a proper boat too – one that really floats (kind of essential in a boat really). You can also add a Playmobil underwater motor to power it up. The boat fits neatly onto the trailer.

When the family is ready to head home, children aged four upwards can open the top of their van to pop mum, dad, their son, their daughter and their dog inside. The van can be pushed along or, by fitting a Playmobil RC unit, it can be remote controlled. The set is priced around £24.99.
