Like most kids, my children love to play and especially love toys that allow for imaginative play. I recently reviewed the new Dump Truck and Excavator from PLAYMOBIL, and my kiddos love their first PLAYMOBIL toys. When recently offered the chance to review the new Go-Kart Racer Carry Case and Magical Mermaids Carry Case from PLAYMOBIL in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to add to our toy box with great excitement from my daughter and son.

Evaluation
As soon as my new Go-Kart Racer Carry Case and Magical Mermaids Carry Case from PLAYMOBIL arrived in the mail, my two oldest children excitedly began begging for me to open both toys. My son loves cars, and my daughter loves mermaids. Because my son is not quite four, I helped him assemble his new car. The pieces were easy to put together, and the stickers were even easier to put on. My daughter is six and a half, and she can easily assemble all the tiny pieces in the mermaid set. My son also enjoys playing with the sea creatures that come with the mermaids. He especially enjoys putting the little seahorses inside the large shell.
My kids have many, many toys, and I often have trouble finding good storage options for toys with small pieces. I therefore love that PLAYMOBIL includes handy carry cases with both toy sets. All the pieces fit neatly back inside the cases for easy storage. My daughter can easily open and close the cases on her own while my preschooler son needs a little help opening the clasp. As with other toys from the brand, I am pleased to say that PLAYMOBIL carry cases are extremely high quality. My kids are not always gentle with toys, but the plastic pieces show very little wear and tear so far. I am impressed with both sets and would definitely consider buying more for my children in the future!
Final Verdict
If you are shopping for some new toys for your kiddos, my two oldest enjoy playing with their new Go-Kart Racer Carry Case and Magical Mermaids Carry Case from PLAYMOBIL.
