I had never heard of Schleich before being sent a few of their items for review. I’m so glad to have found this company since they offer a wide variety of very realistic animal and human figurines that are of high quality.
These are not your average plastic animals found in the toy department at Wal-Mart. They are hand painted with beautiful details, and also extremely sturdy.
My children thoroughly enjoy playing with these animals (we received an elephant, eagle, goose, horse, and pig). I like the fact that they are so true to life and feel the kids are getting a little nature education as they play. I’ll take these over action figures any day!
The prices for these figures are fairly reasonable. Of course they cost a little more than the cheap stuff you find at the dollar store, but they are worth it. The elephant pictured above is quite large as is priced at $6.95. These would be an excellent gift for a child.
Schleich has a huge selection. Visit their website and you will find much to choose from. Some of the categories include: American wildlife, horses, farm life, dinosaurs, sea animals, knights and smurfs (I loved the smurfs growing up!).
These products are made in China, which is not my preference. However, Schleich promises that they are “in compliance with all relevant safety regulations.”
Many other members of the Homeschool Crew enjoyed these items too; click here to see what they thought.
