Imaginative Play
by Tender Leaf Toys
Palm-sized animal play for small-world stories
Some days the animals are spread across the floor before breakfast. Other days, one little figure is slipped into a hand and carried to the next room. The rhino might stand at the edge of the animal world, lead the way through it, or simply be the one your child reaches for when the scene needs a stronger character. Without anyone really noticing, it becomes part of the usual rhythm of pretend play.

Buying guidance
Who this product is particularly well suited to.
Best for families with a child aged 36 months+ who enjoys open-ended animal play, and for homes where a palm-sized 12 × 5.5 × 2 cm figure makes more sense than a larger play set. It suits everyday play that can move from a shelf to a floor animal scene and back again.
36 months+
12 × 5.5 × 2 cm
Product overview
Animal play often begins with a simple idea: where does this one live, and what does it do next? At first, your little one may just hold the rhino and move it around. Soon, it starts turning up in animal scenes, being given a place, a purpose and a path to follow. Before long, the same rhino is carried back into play in different ways, because the story keeps changing.
Product details
This helps the play last beyond the first day, because the idea changes even when the figure stays the same.
That hand-held size makes it easier for your little one to make the rhino act within their own animal world.
Open-ended animal play gives your child room to decide what happens next.
