A Toy That Inspires Endless Storytelling

Children can choose their favorites from the adorable animal figures, line them up, stack them, or gather them together. With every interaction, their world of imagination naturally expands.

Playing with animals they recognize from picture books makes storytime even richer.
“Where is the bunny in the forest?”
“What is the elephant doing?”
These simple questions naturally spark conversations between parents and children.
