Description
The All Creatures Safari collection is a soft toy range aimed at capturing the details and essence of what makes each animal unique and special. Each animal has its own name and educational ‘Did you know’ fact. Our Safari animals might be wild, but they’re perfect for super soft cuddles!
There are 6 to collect: Kokomo the Chimpanzee, Hazel the Elephant, Emmy the Giraffe, Otis the Zebra, Dandelion the Lion & Frankie the Crocodile.

What our experts think
These soft toys proved a big hit with our testers who loved carrying them around and cuddling them! They are the perfect size for young children and are soft enough to be taken to bed. Soft toys can provide a sense of comfort and security which benefits children’s personal, social and emotional development and teaches them about caregiving and healthy attachment. The children enjoyed incorporating them into their role play: we observed parties and zoos as the children let their imaginations run wild, developing creativity and storytelling. This kind of play is great as it allows children to act out and make sense of different scenarios, helping them with their understanding of the world.
We really liked the way in which the toys had facts about the animal, this was good for developing the children’s knowledge of wildlife and stimulated their natural inquisitiveness to find out more. One thing we did find was that some of the hair came out, making the toys unsuitable for very young children.
