I was so excited earlier this summer when I learned that the Playmobil Martin Luther figure was going to be released in the U.S. I must have been one of the first to pre-order it from Concordia Publishing House, and when I found out that they were encouraging people to share Martin Luther’s adventures over the summer with the hashtag #LittleLuther, I knew that was right up my alley.
My first photo was our Luther collection at home…what can I say? We’re very Lutheran!
Little Luther was spotted at our Fourth of July celebration:
Bunny was the first of our children to go away to camp, so Little Luther came with us to Camp Wartburg in Waterloo when we dropped her off:
I had Little Luther with us on our vacation to Bowling Green, KY, Atlanta, GA, and Charleston, SC, but I only ever remembered to take his picture at the Corsair Distillery in Bowling Green. Have no fear, though…he visited places like Turner Field, Forts Sumter and Moultrie, and the beach at the Isle of Palms!
He also accompanied us on our travels around Illinois, including Vandalia, home of the second state capital, and Springfield, where we visited the old and new Capitol buildings and the Lincoln Home, while we were learning about state history.
And he went on a few trips with us a bit closer to home…he was spotted at the Missouri Botanical Garden, Ted Drewes, Anheuser-Busch, and the Missouri History Museum.
He was even seen visiting our Lego Main Street!
Chickadee is a big fan of Little Luther!
She’s also a fan of Big Little Luther!
This was a fun little promotion to add to our regularly scheduled summer activities!
I enjoyed viewing your family’s adventures with little Luther. After months of wondering whether I should leave the Playmobil figure in the sealed package, I took out my little Luther today and had a wonderful time with my children’s Playmobil collection arranging characters and props in scenes from my Reformation novel Kingdom of the Birds, a story your entire family would love.
