A lion, an elephant, a monkey, a meerkat and even a piranha are waiting on this folding magnetic story board, along with 30 magnets in total and a shimmering illustrated African reserve to set them loose in. For children aged 3 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnimals children want to know about\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafari animals occupy an outsized place in early childhood - they are in the books, on the wall, in the songs. Giving children a way to arrange and rearrange them turns passive recognition into active play. They will group predators together, put the elephant in charge, and explain the entire social structure to you unprompted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge folding magnetic board illustrated as an African reserve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 magnets including lion, elephant, monkey, meerkat and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolds to a compact 18 x 18cm for travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStands vertically as a storytelling backdrop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from FSC certified cardboard; suitable from 3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOpen-ended by design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no card to copy and no right answer. The board simply offers a landscape and a cast, and the child supplies the plot. That is why this format holds attention across a wide age range - a three-year-old is naming animals while a five-year-old is running an elaborate multi-day narrative on the same board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe vertical stand matters\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpened out, the board stands up like a small theatre set. Children play in front of it, bring other toys to it and treat it as a place rather than a surface. It is a more inviting format than a flat play mat and it takes up far less room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSkills developed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorytelling builds vocabulary, sequencing and imaginative confidence.
