Meet our new otter wooden doll family who live on the river in a beautiful canal boat called "Malardeau", named after their favourite mallard duck, who sits proudly at the Bow end. This houseboat is our new take on the classic doll's houses from our Tender Leaf range.
The roof of this doll's house boat is removable, and the cabin can be lifted out for more space during playtime.
There are many accessories within this set, designed especially to support language development, emotional awareness, and story telling activities with young children.
Doll characters Suzy, Skipper and Smudge are included in this set, along side; a wood burning stove, matchbox set of drawers, jam jar lid table, 3 bottle tops, 3 knitted sleeping bags, row of vegetables, flowerpot, coffee pot and jam pot.
The accessories included in this set resemble real life items which have been borrowed by our river residents, borrowing bottle tops and re-purposing various food packaging and straws to decorate their home. Very sustainable indeed!
All dolls have their names printed underneath and are scaled to the same size as the Sailway Boat, Rosewood Cottage, Bunny Tales, and Bear Tales. A wooden doll family built for open-ended play makes a great addition to our Merrywood Tales collection.
Made from sustainable rubber wood and responsibly sourced plywood, coloured with soft non-toxic colours for a contemporary style.
Presented in an illustrated colour box.
Suitable for 3 Years +
Product dimension: 27 x 15.5 x 22.5cm
