The Schleich Ukrainian Ironbelly brings a legendary dragon into imaginative play. Children can make it the guardian of a hidden treasure, the ruler of a mountain kingdom or a powerful creature arriving to help their other figures.
Its dragon form gives young storytellers plenty to work with as they invent quests, rivalries and daring escapes. It can stand alone as the focus of a fantasy scene or join other Schleich figures in a larger collection. Moving the figure between different parts of a play space also encourages children to plan settings and develop stories as they play.
A dragon for open-ended adventures
The Ukrainian Ironbelly can take on a different role in every game. Perhaps it protects a village from danger, searches for a lost companion or learns to trust a new group of characters. There is no single way to play, so children can return to the figure with fresh ideas.
Story-led play supports language, imagination and problem-solving in a natural way. Children practise describing what is happening, deciding what a character should do next and building links between figures. It also makes a striking addition to a dragon or fantasy figure collection for children who enjoy creating their own worlds.
