As a former child my favourites were Playmobile, Lego, Duplo, wooden blocks and those little matchbox cars.

For cleaning we just dumped everything into a big box. Repeatability is endless

I also loved Playmobil. But they were so much better in the 80s, early 90s, when all the figures were exactly the same, except by the colors, so it meant they were all flexible to be dressed up as anything you wanted.

Nowadays each playmobil doll is extremely personalized which removes the flexibility to dress them as anything and limits the imagination and originality. Such a pity. No wonder Playmobil almost went bankrupt recently.
