The Schleich Hippopotamus 14938 gives children a bold character for wildlife stories. It can take centre stage in an imaginary river scene, join a group of African animals or become part of a visit to a make-believe nature reserve.
Children can decide what the hippopotamus is doing and build the setting around it. Perhaps it is resting near the water, meeting another animal or making its way through a busy habitat. Placing figures, changing the scene and explaining what happens next encourage storytelling and imaginative play.
Bring a wildlife scene to life
The figure also provides a natural starting point for learning through play. Adults can talk with children about rivers, wetlands and the animals that live near water, while children turn those ideas into their own adventures. The story does not need to follow a set path.
This plastic hippopotamus is suitable for children aged 3 years or older. It can be enjoyed as a standalone animal figure or combined with other figures to create a growing wildlife collection.
