This exquisitely illustrated set of 12 double-sided animals is a wonderful way to nurture understanding of our natural world and will inspire children to learn more about it.
- Members of each family face each other for extra play value.
- This also works across families, increasing opportunities for imaginary play and the development of storytelling skills.
- The flat bases allow the animals to be used in an upright position to better facilitate such play.
- One side of each piece depicts a male/female adult, with each reverse showing a related baby in a different pose, enabling children to sort and compare the animals based on their attributes.
- This can be enhanced by studying the artwork with a magnifier.
- There are also clues to the habitats of the animals, providing a stimulus for discussion and the sharing of ideas.
- The set is divided in to six families: elephant, orangutan, panda, rhinoceros, snow leopard, and tiger.
- Size 2in – 5-1/2in.
