Watch them roar with delight as they grasp a lion that actually looks like a lion. Unlike cartoonish plastic figures, these sturdy wooden pieces feature high-quality photographs that spark instant recognition and connection with the natural world. With included trees and mountain ranges, they can set the scene immediately, saving you from having to buy separate backdrops for their play. From around 2 years old, you'll see the shift from simple handling to complex storytelling. They'll start grouping the herd, hiding the tiger behind the grass, and creating their own little ecosystem—building vocabulary and narrative skills with every wild adventure.

This set is designed for children who are ready to move beyond simple grasping into creating their own stories.

Toddlers (2-3 years) who are rapidly expanding their vocabulary and learning animal names.
Preschoolers (3-5 years) who love building elaborate scenes and acting out stories.
Montessori families looking for realistic, natural materials that represent the world accurately.

A Jungle on the Rug

Most animal sets stop at the figures, but this collection invites your child to build the whole world. With 20 chunky pieces including arched trees, a mountain range, and a standalone tree, they aren't just holding a giraffe—they're deciding where it sleeps, where it eats, and how it hides. The inclusion of the environment encourages spatial thinking and extends play time as they arrange and rearrange their safari scenes. The tallest tree stands at an impressive 30cm high, creating a genuine sense of scale, while the animals range from 4cm to 17cm tall, perfect for little hands to manipulate.

Realism That Resonates

Children are naturally drawn to reality. The high-definition photos printed directly onto the wood satisfy their curiosity about what these creatures *really* look like. You'll notice them studying the stripes on the zebra or the texture of the elephant's skin. This attention to detail supports Montessori principles of grounding early learning in the real world before introducing abstract cartoons.

Durable and Tactile

Made from FSC-certified natural wood, each piece feels substantial in the hand with a thickness of approximately 2cm. The graphics are applied using a heat-transfer process and sealed with a matte varnish, meaning they are smooth to the touch and won't peel off like stickers. Whether they are stomping through a 'muddy' backyard or parading across a table, these figures are built to handle the rough and tumble of daily play.
