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.
