Description

A female lion mother will move her new cubs to a safe den. She picks the cub up by the scruff of the neck. The cub will instinctively relax its muscles and allow the mother to carry it. Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months, before they meet the rest of the pride. The baby lions start to eat meat at about three months old and are weaned at about six months, they will only eat meat as they grow up. They spend most of their day playing, they like stalking each other and playing hide and seek. This develops vital skills that they will use later in life.

Independent Review

These are the views of the independent Good Toy Guide experts on the play value of our animals: "These wooden collectible animal figures are fantastic for open-ended and imaginative play, which is the superfood of a healthy play diet. This is because it provides so many opportunities for children to build social skills, make sense of the world around them and develop language. As they play together and form a story, children have to negotiate roles, listen to others, use creativity and practice speech to communicate what is happening. The animals also feature beautiful detailing including ridges and curves which makes them very tactile and calming to touch. They proved very sturdy too, standing up to vigorous and messy play. It would be lovely to build up a collection of the figures over time to play with, that could then be handed down between family or friends."

Play Value

Wudimals are the perfect realistic wooden animal toy to encourage creativity and imagination. They help to build fine-motor and hand-eye coordination skills and can help to develop children's language skills through story-telling and conversations. Children can learn about the natural world around them as well as farther afield and discover the uniqueness and beauty of the natural world as well as the need for its preservation. As all animals are hand carved and hand painted, they are each unique. This is part of the beauty and value of Wudimals®.
