There are eight Holztiger worlds to collect:
Holztiger Farm Animals
Recreate life on the farm with a beautiful collection of handcrafted wooden farm animals. There are ducks and geese for the pond, chickens to scratch around the farmyard and lay eggs for the farmer’s breakfast, sheep, and cows to graze the fields (including beautiful Highland cattle and a black sheep) plus lots of other farmyard animals. We love the cheeky goats who will often be found eating the farmers washing or best plants, and don’t forget the sheepdog and the farm cat.
Not sure what to choose why not get the starter set. This farmyard bundle contains a hen, a goose, a cow, a billy goat, a boar and a sheep. All they need now is a farmer and his dog to keep them under control. Oh, and you have all the animals you need for an “A Squash and a Squeeze” story sack.
The Holztiger stable makes the perfect home for sheep, pigs, cows or horses and it even comes with a detachable star, meaning that when Christmas comes around you can boot the animals out to make room for Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and as many shepherds, wise men and angles and you want to bring to the party. The Stable also makes a fantastic alternative to a dolls house that can be filled with a few choice items of furniture and whichever family of dolls you choose.
Holztiger Meadow & Woodland animals
Holztigers range of meadow and woodland animals are just perfect for children who love to learn about and explore nature. Make a collection of their favourite animals and they can use them to act out the stories they love. We love the boar family. And the hares are perfect for Easter and would make a lovely alternative gift to chocolate.
Again these animals are great for story sacks. The adder, running fox and the owl would make the perfect companions to the Bajo Gruffalo and Mouse for a Gruffalo story sack. The hares would be great for guess how much I love you. The Frog is too cute not to have even if you have to buy a book, especially for the occasion. I don’t want to be a frog would be good if you fancy starting a collection.
Holztiger Sealife
Holztigers Sealife animals collection includes everything from whales and dolphins to penguins and polar bears. Create an underwater world with sharks and seals, set up a desert island play scene with crabs and palm trees, or visit the artic and antarctic to discover polar bears, penguins and Walrus.
There’s even a seal with a ball for a bit of circus action. Again these beautiful handcrafted figures are perfect for storybooks and inspiring hours of imaginative and creative play.
Holztiger In the Wilderness
The amazing range of wild animals spans the globe. From the Savannahs of Africa to the Jungles of Asia and the Australian Outback. All your child’s favourite animals beautifully hand carved from sustainable hardwood and painted with water-based stains. Holztigers animals are designed with simple features to allow your child’s imagination to take control. So a lion could be a fierce predator or a friendly companion depending on the game.
There are Holtztiger elephants (big and small so you can create a family), giraffes, zebra, lions and tigers all perfect for an African adventure. And we love the tortoise and ostrich. You can use the animals as a great starting point for learning about natural habitats and link this to climate change and the need to look after our beautiful natural world. Or you could go on your very own Australian adventure with Kangaroos, Koalas and Parrots.
Of course, these animals would make the perfect inhabitants for the fabulous Holtztiger Ark. Create a collection you children will be handing on to their children and grandchildren and keep it all safe in a fabulous ark which also makes a very fine pirate ship. The detachable cabin and deck make for easy playing, and there’s a handy hatch on the side for loading in the animals two by two.
Holztiger Dinosaurs
They may not roam the earth any more but dinosaurs are a firm favouite with children. These beautiful wooden beasts make a welcome change from the many plastic varieties available. Holztiger makes brightly coloured versions of all your favourite dino friends including the terrifying T-Rex, the tall and graceful Brontosaurus, the horned Triceratops and the fantastic herbivore Parasaurolophus.
These dinosaurs will make the perfect playmates and bring many benefits for your little ones whether they are happily eating side by side or fighting and causing trouble. They are the perfect size to go with the Tidlo Build a land set or love to set up home under a wobbel board.
Holztiger Fairytale and Knights
Enter a fantasy land of fairytale princesses, knights and dragons. These beautiful figures are perfect for play and make fabulous collector’s items that will be loved for years to come. The green fire-breathing dragon makes a terrifying foe who will take some beating if you are to rescue the princess. Or perhaps he can be tamed and will take you flying on fabulous adventures to secret lands that are yet to be discovered.
Holztiger Christmas Magic
Gollnest & Kiesel make Holztiger and have suffered in recent years with stock as their toys have become so popular. We would suggest if you are waiting for a particular wooden animal to sign up for our email notification system if it is out of stock.
All these wooden animals have been hand carved from sustainably sourced hardwood and painted with non-toxic water based stain that is safe for little mouths and hands. Plus they are designed for the playroom. Meaning they are durable enough that your kids will be passing on these wooden toys to your grandchildren and theirs.
