Cuthberts love this review of the Playmobil 5100 Stone Age Man with Cave by Brilliant Blogger and Playmobil Ambassador Being a Mummy.

The Best Playmobil Ever. I mean EVER!
The other day Playmobil sent us a box, as part of their ambassador
scheme I thought it might contain something for the children which they
would love. Little did I know that I would find myself secretly envious
of Boy, hoping that he didn't like his brilliant new toy and hoping that
he would give it to me. Of course, he loves it and girl (although
technically too young) equally loves it. Curses, I wonder if it can 'go
missing'...
What am I talking about? Only the best Playmobil in the whole world ever
without fail invented by a Playmobil design genius. A set of Playmobil
that is an essential purchase for all archaeologists the world over.
Playmobil set 5100 Stone Age Cave with Mammoth!For archaeologists it needs no interpretation, you can re-enact Clan of
the Cave bear type scenarios in your living room. I actually feel more
inspired than when I read Paul Bahns Journey Through the Ice Age
and that is saying something. When I was setting this up with the boy
you needed to stick little stickers of cave art on the cave. I kept
wondering if I could squirrel them away and stick them onto my
archaeology toolbox instead. There's a gap in the market if ever I
spotted one!
So anyway, you get a working mammoth, lots of palaeolithic hunters with
associated flint spears and a ritual deer skull headdress! A cave, some
fish, a wolf and a wolfskin. What more could you want? I've genuinely
had hours of fun playing with this with the kids, it's great because I
can tell them about stuff and show them things in my books as they come
up during role playing.
Review: It's the best toy in our house.

If you want to get one, and if you are an archaeologist reading this I
know you will, you'll find this (and lots more sets in the range)
