The Schleich African Lion 14974 gives children a powerful character for open-ended wildlife play. Set it in an imaginary savannah, create a scene around a watering hole or bring it into a story about animals exploring their habitat.
The lion can be the centre of a solo adventure or one part of a larger collection. Children might imagine it searching for a safe place, meeting other animals or watching over a changing landscape. By moving the figure and describing each event, they build confidence with storytelling and develop their own play ideas.
Invent a savannah story
An African lion can also lead to gentle conversations about wild animals and where they live. Children can explore ideas about habitats, animal behaviour and the balance of a wildlife scene, then use those ideas in their own imaginative world.
This plastic animal figure is suitable for children aged 3 years or older. It can be played with on its own or combined with other figures to create a wider collection of wildlife characters.
