Schleich - Insects Discovery Set

Ages 3+

Bring the fascinating world of insects into play with the Schleich Insect Discovery Set. Featuring four larger than life insect figures, this set gives curious kids the chance to take a much closer look at the tiny creatures they might spot in the garden, park or out in nature.

Each insect is carefully crafted with the realistic detail Schleich is known for, from the butterfly’s wings to the grasshopper’s legs and the bee’s antennae. Their larger size makes all those little details easier to see, touch and explore, turning a simple insect collection into a hands on way to discover more about the natural world.

Perfect on its own for imaginative and educational play, or add the insects to small world scenes, nature tables and Schleich WILD LIFE collections.
