6 family sets of soft silicone characters each in a different transparent colour that can be linked by their hands. An excellent resource for storytelling, language development, mathematical sorting, sequencing, pattern making and for their proportional attributes (larger/smaller, taller/shorter, older/ younger). They help develop fine motor skills and are ideal for small world play. Easily cleaned after use in soapy water or in a dishwasher. The set comes with an information sheet of ideas for use across the curriculum.
