Baby Dragon

Baby Dragon is a charming little creature ready to flutter into children's imaginative worlds. Crafted from soft felt, this baby dragon has a gentle, tactile quality that invites children to hold, cuddle and move it through their fantasy landscapes. With its sweet features and playful expression, this dragon figurine encourages rich, open-ended storytelling, character play and magical adventures. Children can create their own dragon tales, exploring themes of friendship, bravery and kindness as they bring this tiny guardian of make-believe lands to life. Perfect for small world setups, learning provocations and book corners, the Baby Dragon pairs beautifully with castles, caves, fairy-tale figures and natural loose parts.

Ideal for early learning environments and home playrooms alike, it adds a touch of magic, texture and warmth to any fantasy or mythical-themed space.
