Papo King Richard Red 39338

Papo King Richard Red brings a royal character into imaginative play. A child can place him at the centre of a castle story, lead a small kingdom through a difficult decision or send him into an adventure with other figures from their collection.

The simple idea of a king gives play an easy starting point. Children can create ceremonies, journeys, rivalries and alliances, then change the story whenever they choose. King Richard Red can become a ruler, a travelling hero or a character in a completely new world.

Build a kingdom of your own

Playing with a single figure encourages children to use language, sequence events and explore different points of view. They might decide what their king is trying to protect, who he can trust or what happens when an unexpected visitor arrives. These small decisions turn a figure into a character with a story.

Use King Richard Red on his own for focused storytelling, or add him to a wider collection of knights, animals and fantasy figures. The figure also makes a useful starting point for a child who enjoys imaginative play but prefers to invent the setting themselves.
