Die Tiere

Sensory, grasping and creative toys
‘Die Tiere’ is a multi-piece wooden toy with leather accessories, for children between 2 and 3 years old. ‘Die Tiere’ are made from local wood and leather scraps left over from the production of children's shoes at the Pantolinos factory, thus saving them from becoming waste. The leather is produced in Germany and is naturally tanned, so it is safe to put in the mouth. The leather accessories that represent the animals' features, such as antlers or beaks, can be swapped around, encouraging not only the creation of imaginary animals but also fun and creativity.
