Woodland Animals Set of 6

The Woodland Animal Set includes a fox and a squirrel with moving tails, a sloth with movable arms and legs, a bear, a deer and a duck. This beautifully detailed collection invites children into a cosy forest world where gentle adventures, campfire stories and nature-based play unfold. With moving tails on the fox and squirrel, and a sloth whose arms and legs can be posed, children can bring each character to life as they climb, scamper, wander and rest among the trees. Through rich pretend play, learners awaken imagination and learn to resolve conflict on their own or through team work, discovering that imaginative play can be just as important as real-life experience. The varied shapes and sizes are perfect for small hands to grasp, move and position, supporting fine motor development and hand-eye coordination. Different contours and surfaces encourage the sense of touch, allowing children to discover and explore their environment through their senses with different textures as they interact with each animal. This set also promotes discovery, encouraging children to go out to explore the world around them and be aware of and engaged with their environment, noticing native wildlife, forest habitats and seasonal changes. Ideal for tuff trays, nature tables, storytelling corners and block play, the woodland animal set supports language development, emotional expression and early science learning while offering endless open-ended play possibilities.

Educational benefits:

• Awaken imagination and support rich pretend play as children create woodland stories, friendships and forest adventures.
• Encourage children to learn to resolve conflict independently or work as a team through shared narratives and collaborative play.
• Support the sense of touch as children handle different animal shapes and moving parts, exploring varied textures and forms.
• Promote discovery and early science learning as children talk about woodland habitats, animal behaviours and caring for the natural world.

Classroom ideas:

• Create a woodland small world scene with leaves, stones, branches and fabric "forests"  to inspire collaborative storytelling and role play.
• Use alongside nature and animal-themed picture books to build a literacy-rich corner where stories and play connect.
• Invite children to sort and classify the animals by where they live (ground, water, trees), size or how they move, supporting early maths and science skills.
• Incorporate the animals into social-emotional role play to explore themes such as friendship, bravery, sharing, inclusion and problem-solving.
