Papo Lioness with Cub 50043

The Papo Lioness with Cub 50043 gives children two animal characters to place at the centre of a savannah story. The lioness and cub can travel together, settle in a safe spot or meet other figures as a child builds a growing pride.

There is plenty of room for different kinds of play. The lioness might lead the cub through the grass, keep watch while it rests or guide it towards the rest of the group. Children can create calm family scenes as well as adventures involving exploration and discovery.

A family story to build

Handling the figures and arranging them in relation to one another supports imaginative play and fine motor practice. Children choose the setting, voices and events for themselves, making each scene their own. The pair can also prompt gentle conversations about lions, cubs and the way young animals depend on adults.

This set is a useful starting point for a wildlife collection because it offers two connected characters rather than a lone animal. Add further animal figures to create a wider habitat, or keep the focus on the bond between the lioness and her cub.
