Small World Play: Giant Pandas

Small World Play: Giant Pandas
Early this year, when everything in Amazon was on sale, I got this one of a kind Panda and the Bamboo Forest Playset from Playmobil.  I’ve been eyeing this for months since last year and I was lucky enough to chance this set on sale! Giant Pandas are one of those animals that are in the endangered list and I think somehow, by having this playset at home I can introduce this beautiful animal to the kids, talk about their characteristics and habitat.h

PS. We’ve visited a lot of zoo, but we haven’t encountered a Giant Panda.  We didn’t chance upon them in Singapore Zoo either.

We love the Panda Playset!  The bamboo, tree, hilltop and bridge plus the panda family!  It’s a perfect playset for our little pandas to play with their Moms and Dads.  In setting up the tray, I added a felt craft paper (grass) and a few more figures from Safari Toob to create a community of pandas.  Mavi assembled everything in this Melissa and Doug wooden tray.  Note that the Playmobil pandas are much bigger than the Safari Toobs’.

The boys love the bamboo objects included in the playset.  We talked about what pandas eat and in what environment they thrive.  We also discussed about bamboos and where we can find these.

Vito loves the small cave in the playset.  He “hides” the pandas there as he counts them.

Day and night, this is Vito’s favourite play material.  He plays with this in the morning while I’m busy preparing Mavi for school.  Just make sure to keep an eye on those baby pandas, they’re quite small and toddlers tend to put them in their mouth or throw them anywhere in the house.

    This would be perfect for us since we have a special Panda viewing area at our Toronto Zoo.

    Dinomite would go nuts for this play set. He LOVES pandas! Perhaps I'll have to add this to his wish list.

    I was lucky enough to see pandas in China. They're adorable, magnificent creatures! My girls *love* pandas, and have a panda themed bedroom. We have the Safari Toob, but I hadn't seen the Playmobil ones before. I'll have to pin those for the next time grandparents ask what to get for birthdays!
