Wild Republic Zip Tube Eco - Australia

Ages 3+

A platypus paddling along a creek, a kangaroo bounding across the bush and a wombat heading home to its burrow. The Wild Republic Australian Animals Nature Tube brings some of our remarkable native wildlife into children’s play, with 11 figurines to discover and explore.

Children can create bushland tracks, shady riverbanks and rocky hiding places, then imagine the animals going about their day. From a cassowary’s tall legs to a crocodile’s long tail, the collection gives curious kids plenty to notice, compare and ask questions about.

Made from recycled plastic, the figures reflect Wild Republic’s attention to animal shapes and details. Their reusable zip up tube doubles as storage and a travel case, giving the packaging an ongoing purpose and helping reduce single use packaging waste.
