With 4 children in the house, Easter can sometimes resemble a chocolate egg factory. In an attempt to cut down on this a little, we tend to buy the children an alternative Easter gift – a small toy or a DVD for example. This year they have been lucky enough to receive the Playmobil Easter Eggs.
Priced at £6.99 each, these are in line with our typical Easter spend, and I think they actually offer great value for money. Each plastic egg shell contains a full Playmobil play set, and there are 4 to choose from. Max was thrilled with his Vikings set. He found it easy to put all the pieces together with minimal help required, and was ready to play within minutes. Everything is compatible with our current Playmobil sets, offering great scope for play.
Eliza opened her Easter Egg to reveal the Fairies set. I was surprised by how much there is inside each egg – this particular one contains 2 figures with wings and wands, a magic cauldron and a flower with owl.
The other 2 eggs contained a One-to One basketball game and a Vet with Foals. Not too many pieces that it takes ages to get up and running, but a really good value for money play set, and a lovely alternative to chocolate Easter Eggs. The eggs do come inside a cardboard sleeve which pictures which set you are buying, so if you want to keep it a surprise just be aware of this. The plastic egg shells are perfect for storing the pieces in when not in use, and we noticed they do all have a little slot on the top. Max was very keen to use his as a piggy bank!
If you are looking for an alternative to chocolate this Easter, I highly recommend the Playmobil Easter Eggs. Fantastic value, and likely to last much longer than chocolate too!
You can see the full Playmobil range here, with great sets to suit all age ranges. Playmobil is a top manufacturer within preschool toys.
These would be such fun for hiding outside for a treasure hunt. No chocolate to melt in the sun or go soggy in the rain! #TriedTested

I love, love this idea! Not only do we get the kids eggs about 5 other people do too! I am definitely going with these this year. #TriedTested
We have had Playmobil Easter Eggs in the past. They’re a brilliant alternative to chocolate eggs and well worth the money :o)

What a great idea! We are a vegan family (mostly) and so choc eggs just don’t do it for us but these would be such a fun alternative!

Wow these look fab and what a great price as well! I tend to do my 2 a Easter basket as they receive so much chocolate from everyone else!

I love those eggs! Always ration out the chocolate in our house so Easter eggs last for weeks, will get these instead this year. #TriedTested
Playmobil is fabulous and this is a great idea for Easter, they get so much chocolate. Love them xx #triedtested
Oh these look amazing. My daughter loves playmobil and we have been treating her to the surprise bags with a figure in them – I think this would make the perfect Easter Egg for her. #triedtested
These are a great idea! We actually lived in Malta where the Playmobil factory is and visited so many times, never saw these though. I’m tempted to get my little monster one now #triedtested
My girls love Playmobil and would love these. We had the advent calendars at Christmas but I didn’t realise Playmobil did Easter eggs too. I’ve now gone and ordered a couple for them – will make a nice change from all the chocolate they get at Easter 🙂 #TriedTested
What a cute idea! I love alternative gifts at Easter.
What a great idea as an alternative to Easter eggs. I will check these out as George definitely doesn’t need more chocolate
This is such a brilliant idea, a great alternative to chocolate as Olly doesnt eat chocolate much so these would be enjoyed more #TriedTested
