Wild Republic Zip Tube Eco - Africa

Ages 3+

Who’s gathering at the watering hole? The Wild Republic African Animals Nature Tube brings together 15 animal figurines for busy savannah scenes, riverside encounters and imaginative wildlife adventures.

Children can send giraffes browsing among pretend trees, give the hippo a riverside resting spot or follow a pride of lions across the grasslands. With elephants, zebras, a rhino and more to discover, this collection encourages children to explore animal features, learn names and create stories as they play.

Made from recycled plastic, the figures feature recognisable animal details that give curious children plenty to notice. The reusable zip up tube doubles as storage and a travel case, keeping the collection together and helping reduce single use packaging waste.
