Hello from Nebraska!
« on: June 29, 2011, 15:17:58 »
:hellol: Hi!  :hellol:
In searching for parts to my Playmobil, I came across this fantastic site and couldn't believe my luck. There are actually other people like me!  :love:
I started collecting Playmobil about 10-12 years ago, mostly for use in my psychotherapy practice.  I really enjoy working with kids and Playmobil has the detail and (usually) the variety for representation in therapeutic play. As I bought more and more, I realized that my Playmobil was for work... and my own enjoyment.  :-[ Now finding that I have more toys than will fit in my office!
I hope to be able to join in your community and see how everyone enjoys Playmobil. (And would love to find other play therapists out there... anyone?) Thank you all for the information I've already found on the boards, and for all the questions I hope to have answered in the future!

Hi Kate, Welcome!  I am excited to see your post, I also use playmobil in my classes as teaching tools---a type of "play therapy" to help college students better connect with concepts we're looking at.  I am also very interested in the reasons why different people are drawn to playmobil and to toys in general.  I'm delighted to welcome you to the post---I'm a newcomer as well.

Hi Kate! Welcome from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Im glad you found us. The use of PM in therapy have been discussed here in several threads and we would love to have the input of someone really using them for such matters!
Hope you have fun with us and as we always say  :picsplz: of your collection!
