People Around the World - 18 Piecess

The People Around the World 18-piece wooden set is a colourful and educational collection of figurines that showcases children from various cultures around the globe. Each piece features real-life photographs of children wearing traditional or modern dress from countries such as Sweden, Bavaria, Saudi Arabia, and many more. These vibrant and engaging pieces are heat-transferred onto chunky wooden blocks, making them not only durable but also easy for little hands to grasp.

Each figure is labelled with the name of the country where the outfit originates, integrating language and literacy into children's play. Made from New Zealand pine, the pieces are finished with a clear matt varnish for lasting quality.
