Schleich Afghan Hound 13938

The Schleich Afghan Hound adds a distinctive dog character to imaginative play. Children can give the figure a place in a family story, a pretend dog show or an adventure through an imaginary countryside.

She can meet other Schleich dogs, join a collection of animal figures or become the centre of a story about looking after a pet. Children decide where she goes, who she meets and what happens next, making each play session their own.

From dog shows to everyday adventures

The Afghan Hound gives children an opportunity to notice that dog breeds have different appearances and identities. They can compare her with other figures, sort their collection by animal type or invent characters with different personalities.

As children move the figure between scenes and build conversations around her, they practise storytelling and fine motor skills through play. The open-ended format makes it easy to start with a simple pet story and develop it into a larger animal world.
