Description
Polar Bear cubs are born in late autumn or early winter and spend the first 3-4 months in a den being fed on their mother’s milk. This milk is the fattiest of any land animals at 31%. The fat content gets lower as the cub grows. They are nursed up until two years of age. Only 50% of cubs survive the first year.

Independent Review
These are the views of the independent Good Toy Guide experts on the play value of our animals:
“These wooden collectible animal figures are fantastic for open-ended and imaginative play, which is the superfood of a healthy play diet. This is because it provides so many opportunities for children to build social skills, make sense of the world around them and develop language. As they play together and form a story, children have to negotiate roles, listen to others, use creativity and practice speech to communicate what is happening.
The animals also feature beautiful detailing including ridges and curves which makes them very tactile and calming to touch. They proved very sturdy too, standing up to vigorous and messy play. It would be lovely to build up a collection of the figures over time to play with, that could then be handed down between family or friends.”
