Playset Ornaments

Playset ornaments are decorative and functional items designed to enhance and complete children's playsets, typically those representing domestic, occupational, or fantasy settings. They contribute to imaginative play by providing realistic or thematic details.

Material

• Plastic: The most common material due to its durability, affordability, and ease of molding into various shapes and sizes. Different types of plastic are used, including polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
• Wood: Offers a more classic and natural aesthetic. Often used for furniture, buildings, and larger accessories. Requires protective finishes for outdoor use.
• Metal: Less common due to safety concerns, but may be found in vintage sets or as durable accents. Usually coated to prevent rust.
• Fabric: Used for items like bedding, curtains, or clothing for play figures.
• Resin: Provides detailed sculpting and a higher-quality appearance, often used for smaller, collectible items.
