The koala is one of the world’s most iconic animals. Koalas can only be found in Australia – perched high up in the branches of old gum trees in the Australian bushland. Just like our beautiful human babies, koalas spend a lot of time sleeping – up to a whopping 20 hours per day! Our much loved koala is the very first of our Aussie Collection crafted with beautiful details and with much love for our Aussie outback animals. Sensory skills are responsible for receiving information from the environment through our toddler’s inherent senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and very importantly touch. Your child’s motor skills then allow their little bodies to express the information received and can bring about enhanced cognitive development and functioning – hence learning through play. Renowned Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget describes these early stages of development as one in which ‘infants are busy discovering relationships between their bodies and the environment’. Our 12” toys are the perfect gift for any toddler and makes a great accent in any child’s stylish bedroom. For additional safety, check toys regularly for signs of damage during use. Do not use any chemicals. Line dry. No dry clean. Image is for illustration only product may vary slightly.
