Schleich
Schleich figures are all about imaginative play and children’s imaginations are instantly inspired by the realistic animals. Each individual small Schleich figures are hand painted, which just shows to me that they do put care and attention to each product that they make.
We have been lucky enough to review a few sets of Schleich products this year, and I would highly recommend them as gifts, as they have been 5* quality and my children have had hours of play which I believe is because of the realistic look of the toys.
