PLAYMOBIL brings you imaginative play sets focused around iconic figures from a variety of worlds, both realistic (like police, firemen, school buses etc.) and fantastical (like modern-day dinos). And the play sets help to develop both cognitive and social/emotional skills, and I’ve found them really helpful for my autistic son.

The lights at the front actually flash, and the bus door actually swings open like a school bus would. And if you’re working on teaching autistic children to ride the school bus, this is the post for you. When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of The Range. I wait for the school bus at my bus stop. When I’m waiting, I stand on the sidewalk where I am safe. I like to talk to my friends at the bus stop.”

When I’m looking for, or writing, social stories I make sure that they don’t frame natural autistic behaviors as bad, and we keep everything very positive.

A-Man’s favorite part was saying hi to the bus driver because he pretended the bus driver was Papa! My dad has been a school bus driver since I was in junior high, and my kids think that’s the coolest thing ever. I was really impressed with the PLAYMOBIL toys that are high-quality and had such a strong attention to detail. Off to school! The school bus takes all children on the way. The waiting children board via the folding ramp for wheelchairs at the rear doors or via the sliding door at the side. The roof of the school bus can be removed so that children and driver can easily take their seats. If more storage space for luggage is needed for special school trips, the school bus also has a trailer hitch.

Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.

Once all the students were in the bus, A-Man had a blast driving the school bus around and yelling “beep beep!”

My dad has talked to the kids about letting them explore the school buses the next time we came into town and it got me thinking… We had so much fun with this activity. A-Man loved playing with the bus and reading through the social story with us! When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of us.
