[AD] Review of the PlayMobil Petting Zoo and Animals

April 5, 2021 /

My children adore PlayMobil and we have many kits in our house that they have received as Christmas and Birthdays gifts. They love all of the make believe and pretend play elements to it, and being able to create all of these imaginary worlds at home.

I really enjoy hearing my daughter playing with it, and hearing some of the conversations she makes up between the people whilst they are visiting our PlayMobil Aquarium or buying a pretend chocolate ice cream.

For the Bank Holiday weekend we were all really excited to receive the PlayMobil Petting Zoo, alongside some additional packs of animals including the Meerkat colony, Pandas with Cub and Rhino with Calf. You should have heard the whoops and cheers from my two when they opened the box. Even I was amazed how perfectly formed the little animals are – they really are all very cute.

The Petting Zoo contains a range of petting animals including goats, rabbits, turtles, birds, a sheep and a lamb, a bridge, rocks, trees and branches, feeding vending machine and many other items you would get at a petting zoo like carrots and plants. I must admit my favourite animals are the rabbits and guinea pigs that have their own little house to sleep in.

With all PlayMobil kits part of the fun it putting it all together, and I did most of this with the help of my daughter. However now that I have done it once and showed her how to do it, she can pretty much put it together herself. The instructions are also really clear and easy to understand. One of the great things about PlayMobil is how it can help to develop a child’s fine motor skills and working with small pieces, even my near three year old is getting to grips with it.

We love our PlayMobil Petting Zoo and all of the animals too. It’s a lovely set to have, and there are many add ons you can buy for it. Judging by how excited my children were by it, I would recommend it as a future birthday gift for someone special.

You can visit the PlayMobil website to see and purchase the Petting Zoo and many more PlayMobil collections.

How to buy kids stationery – be smart and save more

Covid-19 has disrupted the entire UK economy, closing restaurants, shutting small businesses and putting hundreds of thousands of people out of work. People on 0-hours contracts and freelancers are some of the worst-hit, experiencing their monthly pay dropping from 100 to 0 in a matter of days. During such uncertain times, many people are suffering from financial difficulty as they have never seen before. So what can we be doing to make ends meet during the Covid-19 outbreak? Government support In an attempt to keep businesses afloat and to keep people in employment the government has announced more than £330 billion worth of guarantees. This includes introducing a Business Rate holiday, giving workers access to Statutory Sick Pay if they are forced to self isolate, supporting businesses by paying up to 80% of their worker’s salaries to allow them to keep employees on and making it easier for people to sign up for Universal Credit. In addition to endeavors above, the government is also in conversation with mortgage lenders about possible mortgage repayment freezes and is trying to bring about more support for self-employed workers who, at present, only have the Universal Credit system to fall back on. For many people, these measures don’t go far enough to help them support their livelihood, so what else can we do? Loans With business dropping virtually overnight, many people and companies are being forced to take out payday loans in order to survive. The government has promised an 80% money-back guarantee on loans provided by lenders to try and encourage them to continue offering them to SMEs in need, however, this has yet to be applied to personal loans that may need to be taken out by freelancers. Cutting costs In the face of so much uncertainty, at present, the only thing that most of us can do to try and make ends meet is to cut back on our own costs in order to make the money we do have to stretch further. Here are some things that you can do to help cut your monthly expenses: Apply for council tax relief One of the largest monthly expenses for most renters and homeowners is their council tax. If you are on a low income you could be eligible for council tax relief or a council tax reduction. Cut your food spend The new, tighter, social distancing regulations are forcing most of us to stay at home and this gives us the opportunity to experiment with lower-cost food options. Go back to basics and make hearty and filling vegetable-based dishes such as soups, stews, and curries that cost far less than meat alternatives and are healthier for you too. Stop all unnecessary spending Finally, if you haven’t done it already, then now is the time to look at your outgoings and to be strict about what you can no longer afford. You can save money on your phone bill with Apps such as Airtime rewards and you may also want to look at subscription services such as Spotify, Netflix, and Amazon Prime which may have seemed like necessities but are now little more than luxuries. Even if cutting these out only saves you £30 a month, that’s £30 a month in your pocket for essentials such as food and rent. There’s no denying that times are hard right now and for many people, this post barely scratches the surface. It’s important to remember that more help initiatives are being announced every day, so keep an eye out on the GOV.UK website.
