These beautiful sculptures will charm the children with their tactile nature and are ideal for sensory play. The set consists of eight figures: a bear, an owl, a bird, a whale, a fish, an elephant, a mouse and a rabbit (measuring between 26-75mm high). Once discovered, the animals can be sorted and matched by different criteria, including colour, habitat and characteristics, promoting language and discussion. Why not design and build habitats for the animals: a nest for the bird, a river for the fish, an icy ocean for the bear. Children will enjoy creating a personality for each creature, making the set ideal for storytelling activities and small-world play. These engaging animals will be a great springboard to learning more about life in the wild, what animals are in your own environment and how the children might better care for them. Each piece is created from our unique stone mix and can be used outside. Age 2+.
