Papo Walrus 56030

The Papo Walrus brings a distinctive Arctic animal into imaginative play. Children can place it on an imagined shoreline, create a cold-water habitat or introduce it to other animals in a story about exploring the polar world. Its recognisable subject gives children a clear character to build around.

A child might imagine the walrus resting near the water, travelling across a changing landscape or meeting a group of explorers. The figure can support simple animal play or become part of a longer adventure with different locations and characters. Children decide how the story unfolds, encouraging imagination and spoken storytelling.

Build a polar habitat

Use paper, fabric or household objects to suggest ice, water and a rocky shore. The Walrus can move between these areas, visit other Arctic animals or become the guide in a journey across the scene. Repositioning the figure helps children experiment with setting, sequence and cause and effect.

The figure also makes a useful addition to a wildlife collection. Comparing it with land and marine animals can encourage children to notice how varied the natural world is. Play can remain realistic or take a more adventurous direction, with the walrus as a memorable character in an invented polar story.
