In solo play children learn to create characters, building dialogue, identities and manipulative skills. When used in group play an added layer of learning occurs, including cooperation, expressing opinions and contributing ideas to play. This range of Australian animal plushies is ideal for encouraging children to develop their identity as Australian citizens through recognising animals unique to our environment. Dimensions 33cm L.
