Our African animal set of 12 can be a fun and educational set for children that provides a range of benefits for their development. Toddlers can use the animal figures to create their own stories and scenarios, which can help them develop their imagination and creativity.
The small size of the animal figurines and the need to manipulate the animals with their fingers and hands can help toddlers develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. As toddlers play with these animals, they may begin to name the animals and make animal sounds, which can help them develop their language skills.
Learning about different animals and their characteristics can also help toddlers develop their cognitive skills, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving. The tactile feel of the wooden animals can provide a different sensory experience for toddlers, helping them to develop their senses of touch, sight, and sound.
These wooden animals therefore are ideal for providing children with opportunities to explore imaginative play. With a 2cm thickness, these beautifully chunky animals will last the test of time. These animals are made using nontoxic plantation timber.
