I read an interview with the C.E.O. of Playmobil in which it was said that these toys are made to be so durable that when your child is finished playing with them, they should be packed up and saved for your grandchildren. It's true, they last forever, physically and imaginatively, as my 5 1/2 year old daughter never stops playing with this hospital. The scenarios she finds with it are endless. So unequivocally (I am the world's worst speller, so excuse me please), I recommend this product as I would any other Playmobil product.
