Play Family Nursery School
#929
c1978-1979 & 1989
The nursery School base was essentially just a redesign of 1972's #909 Play Family Rooms. Both had a building with no ceiling and no exterior walls. The nursery school added a removable roof doubling as a playground--much like the fold-down flaps of the #931 hospital and the #990 A-Frame. The roof idea would have been a good one, except it was made out of cardboard, so kids had a fun time tearing it apart. As for the accessories, all but three were drawn from other sets: chiefly, the #909 Play Family Rooms, the #923 School and the #141 Mini Bus. The three exclusives to this set all came in blue: the easel, craft table, and the teeter-totter. The bus, which was the mini-bus in yellow and with different lithos, eventually ended up being used as the Pamper's Promotional Bus in 1988. For one year, 1989, this set was sold exclusively at Lionel Kiddie City.
