Geography Learning in Action with SCHLEICH®
From icy tundras to tropical jungles, SCHLEICH® families use play to spark journeys of discovery with animals from around the world.
North American Animal Geography Lesson
In this Learning through Play activity, created in partnership with the American Montessori Society, children match SCHLEICH® animal figures to the pictures. The realistic details of SCHLEICH® animals allow kids to expand their knowledge of animals and their habitats.
Sustainability in Focus
Teaching kids about protecting our planet and our diverse wildlife ecosystems.
When they play, children take us on jungle safaris, North Pole expeditions and five o’clock tea with unicorns and dragons. They show us a world worth preserving. We support this voyage of discovery with detailed and authentic animal figurines that give kids' imaginations free rein to learn about our planet and its inhabitants.
The SCHLEICH® Wild Life collection features a wide array of detailed figurines representing endangered species, including North Atlantic Right Whales, tigers, pandas, snow leopards, wolves, and numerous savanna animals. Our realistic animal figures are designed to encourage, educate, and raise awareness for wildlife conservation.
Do you remember your favorite childhood toy? Maybe you're still holding onto it in hopes of passing it onto your child. Whether it's a lion, a koala, or a three-toed tree sloth, every SCHLEICH® animal figure is crafted with exceptional durability, so they'll last from generation to generation. Because we believe cherishing our planet—much like our toys—should be as timeless as play itself.
