The problem with that however was carrying the equivalent of a DVD rental store around in a bag and the constant swapping DVD?s over and loss of the DVD?s down the back of the car seat.
Surely there’s an easier way?
Well, as you?d expect there …

We’ve enjoyed lots of Playmobil goodies this summer in our role as playologists. First off we received two new playmobil sets, the playmobil fairy garden and playmobil apple harvest. Both sets are amazingly detailed and well worth the effort to build.
