We are going to the Calgary Zoo next month, and I am really excited to take the kids! The last time we went was 2 years ago, and Nevaeh was just a baby then so this will be her first time seeing the giraffes, zebras and monkeys (oh my!) To help feed that curiosity and build excitement, we have been playing with some of the Wild Life figures from Schleich that were sent to us to review.
Care and precision is taken in making each of the action figures at Schleich and these are no exception. The kids happily take these animals from the sandbox to their bedroom (much to my frustration…sand everywhere!) and use role playing to have the animals talk to eachother. They build scenes in the sandbox (baby leopards like to play on sand castles, don’t you know?) and at the end of the day, they sometimes end up in the bath tub too.
The Schleich World of Nature Africa collection in particular consists of 17 animals including some diverse animals like the Okapi (Elijah thought this one was really “weird”) and Gnu (admittedly not the cutest animal of the bunch!) If lions, monkeys and crocodiles are more your style, Schleich has those too!
Schleich, of course, has a huge range of products and you’ve likely seen their displays at your favorite toy or hobby store. Schleich toys are quality made and will last for years. They remind me of the toys found in grandma’s attic – timeless, sturdy, and a treasure for generations to play with.
