| Maren pins the birthday hat on Playmobil guy |
Welcome to Playmobil Land
& Elijah's Birthday Party
Playmobil Land welcomed birthday boy, Elijah, and his family on their recent visit. My sister and my Mom unearthed all the playmobil stored in Mom's basement (all the classic ones from the 1980's that my siblings and I played with as a child, back when we had to travel to another state to even find a store that sold the European toy) so there was playmobil galore with which to play. Games included my hand-drawn "pin-the-birthday-hat-on-the-playmobil-guy" (which also served as the greeter as party guests arrived), a playmobil toss game, searching for hidden playmobil people, a playmobil bowling game (thanks to my sister), and a guess-how-many-playmobil-items-are-in-this-jar game (also thanks to my sister). Prizes and favors included lots of the playmobil mystery pack toy sets.

I constructed the funny-looking playmobil guy cake based on the original playmobil shape from back in the day (when they had the zigzag hair instead of the more realistic hair that playmobil has these days). The cake was surrounded by a border of real playmobil people, and a playmobil person was tucked underneath the birthday boy's piece of cake for added fun. Decorations were mostly playmobil toys, a cupcake holder filled with colorful paper napkins and toys, and lots of hand-colored playmobil art. My sister had them construct construction paper hats for their coloring pages, which the kids loved. There is nothing more fun than family gathering for a child-centered theme party! Happy Birthday, Elijah! May every day seem like a playmobil paradise!

Inspired by the success of its toy line, Playmobil has launched a series of video games available for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, and Internet-ready PC. Players can take control of the noseless, round-headed figures and take part in adventures that are based on popular Playmobil collections such as the Pirates play set, the Circus play set, and Knights play set.
