Butterflies figurines TOOB – Safari Ltd

Safari’s realistic miniature butterflies figurines TOOB set with the world’s most beautiful butterflies is a valuable Montessori learning toy for any home or classroom!

The set includes a red glider, a green swallowtail, an orange barred sulphur, a white angled sulphur, an avenus regalis, an anaea clytemnestra and a papilio garleppi. The 8 beautifully detailed and lifelike butterfly models help children to recognise, appreciate and notice the differences between the species.

This high quality and durable TOOB set is a great teaching tool and Montessori inspired toy. The hands-on learning figures are perfect to observe, to support lessons on biology, zoology and nature, classification, as well as wonderful language and sensory bins objects to enrich vocabulary and storytelling. They also make lovely additions to free small world play and nature displays and can be used for spring and summer decor around the house.

As butterflies emerge from their chrysalises (similar to a cocoon) during the warmer months, they’re often seen and represented as the heralds of spring and summer. Lessons with these butterfly figurines can focus on the fact that their vibrant colourations are a defence to scare predators off or help the butterflies blend into the flowers and fauna where they feed. This set can also be paired with the Safari life cycle set of a Monarch butterfly to help children to understand the transition from eggs, caterpillar, chrysalis to butterfly.

Each realistic butterfly figurine from this TOOB is individually painted with scientifically accurate detail. They are non-toxic, BPA-free and suitable for children ages 3 years and up. The TOOB holding the figures measures 32.5cm in length.
