Imaginative Play
by Tender Leaf Toys
A small Ankylosaurus for open-ended animal worlds and made-up stories.
Some days, the play starts with a few animals lined up on the rug. Other days, a cushion becomes a hill and a book becomes the edge of a forest. Without anyone really planning it, the Ankylosaurus begins to reappear in these made-up places. It might be the dinosaur that waits at the edge, the one everyone goes to find, or the one that changes the whole story when it arrives.

Buying guidance
Who this product is particularly well suited to.
Best for families choosing for a child aged 36 months+ who already enjoys making little animal worlds, or for a child you know likes open-ended pretend play. At 10 × 4.6 × 2 cm, it is a small character piece rather than a large playset, so it can slip into the play they are already making at home.

Product overview
Pretend worlds rarely stay the same for long. At first, the Ankylosaurus might simply stand beside the other animals. Soon it has a reason to be there. Before long, it is crossing a make-believe river, hiding near a block mountain, or being called back into a story from yesterday. That is the lovely thing about open-ended small world play: your child can keep changing the world, and this one dinosaur can keep being given a new part in it.
Product details
That gives it more room to stay in play as your child’s stories change.
It gives your child a clear starting character without telling them how the story must go.
A toy that can be used in many made-up worlds has more chances to be reached for again.
