Waddingtons Playworld Play Seaside Children’s Activity Toy Unused

Playworld children's activity toy by Waddingtons, which dates from 1982, based around the theme of the seaside. It features a set of thick card figures - a variety of items such as people, a donkey, Punch and Judy, an open-topped bus, sandcastle, deck chair, etc. - with plastic stands and wheels which can be used in conjunction with a set of thinner card playmats and story cards. This appears to be completely unused, which is rather sad in many ways!

The plastics (srands and wheels) are still attached to their mounts and most of the figure shapes are retained in their original cards, although one or two have worked themselves free over time. The box is in good condition considering its age.

This large (22cm / 10in high) figurine of a sitting donkey, possibly a baby donkey, must definitely fall into the category of "it's so bad it's good" - we certainly think so! Made by Trentham Art Wares in collaboration with Beswick it was undoubtedly proudly displayed on many a 1960s mantelpiece. Now it's a superb slice of kitsch and sure to raise a smile in a contemporary environment.

Ours is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. The makers number "352" is visible on the base.
