Autumn Box "Pippa and the Missing Hedgehog"

Autumn Box "Pippa and the Missing Hedgehog"

The Autumn Box "Pippa and the Missing Hedgehog" is a complete narrative and sensory play set, handmade and 3D-printed in Belgium by Play This Way. Following Pippa's story, children from 3 years old search for the missing hedgehog, with the balancing tree, forest animals, and a dice as a playful common thread.

Roll the animal dice and place the correct animal or leaf on the balancing tree, discover the 5 forest animals from the story, and find and sort the 24 autumn leaves in 4 colours and 3 sizes. Top it off with brown rice for extra sensory play. A rich loose parts box that combines story, movement, and senses.

Ideal in combination with the picture book "Pippa and the Missing Hedgehog" by teacher Sara — read the story aloud and immediately play it out with this autumn box.
