Ollie loves aircraft. Jumbo jets, zeppelins, helicopters, gliders, sea planes - mention any of these, and you have his attention. Imagine his surprise then, when on Christmas morning he woke to find he had his very own airport!

The Airport from Plan Toys is a wonderful interpretation of what kids remember most about the real thing - a flight control tower, car parks, elevators and baggage conveyors, and of course a skybridge to walk on board the plane.

This flat pack set was easy to assemble, and came with a cargo truck and trailer, a pilot and airplane, a check-in counter and an airport worker. It also comes with some coordinating luggage, but I have these tucked away for when little things stop going in little mouths. There are two versions of the airport, which appear to only differ in roof shape - we have the earlier version, which although has a superb mid-century butterfly roofline, it also tends to pop the control tower off easily. And don’t worry, the blue roof is made from foam, so no hard edges for your little one to bump.

Plan Toys have a great range of other toys to co-ordinate with this play set, but we have found that everyone is welcome at the airport, from Matchbox car and London double-decker to plastic pirate and the odd roaming stegosaurus. Oh, and don’t forget your passport!
