Schleich Mandrill 14856

The Schleich Mandrill brings a striking primate into children’s imaginative play. This single animal figure can explore a rainforest setting, join a wider collection or take part in stories where children decide how a group of animals lives and works together.

Children can build a simple jungle scene from blocks, fabric or other toys, then send the mandrill on an adventure. It might be travelling through the forest, searching for food or meeting new animals along the way. The story can be quiet and observational or full of movement, depending on the setting children create.

A mandrill also gives children an opportunity to compare animals and notice differences between primates. They can describe the figure, invent conversations and sort their collection by habitat or type of animal. These activities encourage language, imagination and curiosity through a story that children control.

Create a rainforest adventure

Use the Mandrill as a central character or as one member of a growing wildlife world. It suits solo play and shared storytelling, with children taking turns to add events or solve problems in the scene. As their collection grows, the figure can move between different habitats and stories.
