IMAGINATIVE PLAY

8 Woodland Animals

by Tender Leaf Toys

Eight wooden woodland animals for small world play that keeps finding new paths.

Children have a lovely way of turning the lounge room into a forest before you have even finished your tea. The 8 Woodland Animals give that pretend world a proper cast, with a rabbit, hare, hedgehog, fox, fallow deer, red squirrel, weasel and badger ready to move into tree houses, wander through made-up woods and begin the sort of stories only your little one could invent.

How They Become Part of the Play Shelf

Some days they are a quiet little forest on the rug. Other days they join blocks, tree houses or whatever your little one has decided belongs in the woods that morning. Eventually, without anyone really noticing, the rabbit and hare are not just animals in a set. They have favourite places, ongoing jobs and strong opinions about where the badger should sleep. That is the charm here: the play grows because the animals can be whoever the story needs them to be.

Product overview

The Forest That Keeps Coming Back

Some toys get packed away after the first excitement, but animal play often has a way of returning in new forms. At first, your child may line up the woodland animals and name them. Soon, the fox is visiting the badger, the hedgehog needs a home, and the weasel has become the star of a very serious forest problem. Before long, these animals are being sorted into groups, added to other small world scenes, and brought back out when a nature question pops up at the table.

Product details

Thoughtful details that make a difference

A woodland cast with real story range

With a rabbit, hare, hedgehog, fox, fallow deer, red squirrel, weasel and badger, your child has enough characters to build little forest dramas, friendships, families and adventures.

Easy to weave into small world play

These animals suit small world scenes, whether your little one is making a forest, adding characters to a tree house, or moving animals through a pretend woodland path.

Room for your child to lead the story

There is no fixed script. One day the badger is in charge, the next day the squirrel is lost, and another day everyone is being sorted into families.

Natural prompts for curious questions

Woodland animals often lead to lovely little questions: where does a hedgehog live, what does a weasel eat, and why might a fox be out at night?
