What are the Advantages of Schleich Animals?
The variety of species of the educationally valuable Schleich animals is huge and gives young nature lovers a very good overview of the animal diversity of our planet. The spectrum ranges from classic farm animals to wild animals from different continents. The different species of the same genus are precisely identified so that children not only get to know a whale, for example, but also learn to distinguish between a blue whale, a sperm whale, a narwhal and a killer whale. The huge variety of horses from Schleich is particularly noteworthy. Over the last few decades, Schleich has produced hundreds of horse figures representing different breeds and ages.

From What Age Are Schleich Animals Suitable?
It quickly becomes clear that your own collection of Schleich animals can be expanded almost endlessly. As the figures are still available for relatively little money despite their durability and robustness, they are ideal as a small gift for in between or as a present for a child’s birthday party. The figures themselves are made from a single cast and contain no small parts. They are therefore very suitable for small children from around two years of age.
What Accessories Are Available for Schleich Animals?
In addition to the popular animal figures, Schleich offers a wide range of accessories for different play worlds with animals. These are Wild Life, Farm World and Horse Club. For these play worlds, which focus on different groups of animals, there are buildings, vehicles, people, tools, plants, food and much more. However, these sets contain small parts and are only recommended for ages 4-5 and up.
Who Invented the Schleich Animals?
Schleich GmbH was founded in 1935 and specialized in the production of a wide variety of hard rubber toy figures in the 1950s. Thirty years later, the company began producing detailed animal figures, which are still hand-painted today and are unique in their quality and natural fidelity.
