Papo Blacktip Reef Shark 56034

The Papo Blacktip Reef Shark 56034 adds a reef-dwelling predator to imaginative ocean play. Children can guide it around a make-believe coral reef, send it exploring between sea creatures or use it to create a changing underwater scene.

It can be the watchful animal in a reef story, a traveller passing through unfamiliar waters or one character among many in a growing marine-life collection. Children choose whether the story is calm, adventurous or full of unexpected encounters.

Make a reef of your own

Pairing the shark with fish and other sea animals encourages children to create simple habitats and decide how the creatures interact. A block-built reef, a blue cloth ocean or an open tabletop can all become the setting for play.

Handling and moving the figure gives children practical opportunities to practise controlled movements while developing stories in their own words. The named species also provides a starting point for curiosity about reef animals and the different environments found beneath the sea.
