The Woopie Baby zoo toy is an interactive panel with hidden animals: press, turn or slide, and a zoo resident pops out of its hiding place.

This pop-up animals toy is made for the youngest explorers. The panel combines lots of fascinating mechanisms – pressing, turning and sliding – that encourage hand practice. Colourful animals and bright, friendly colours catch the eye and stimulate vision. The toy supports psychomotor development from an early age. It is sturdy, with safe, smooth, rounded edges suited to small hands, and measures about 25.2 × 13 × 12.5 cm. Designed for toddlers from 18 months, girls and boys alike.

What your child develops

• Manual skills and precision. Each animal opens with a different movement.
• Hand-eye coordination. Your toddler watches which animal popped up.
• Cause and effect. Press a button – and an animal appears.
• Patience and focus. Working out how to open each hiding place.

How to play

Show one movement, such as turning a knob, so your toddler sees an animal pop up in surprise. Push it back and let them try themselves.

Name each animal and copy its sound – play becomes a language lesson too.

A great gift

The pop-up animals toy is a good gift for toddlers of one and a half to two – for a birthday or Christmas.
