Jouet singe écureuil

The fur texture is impressively realistic, and the small size makes it perfect for hands-on learning about rainforest animals. My kids have already started identifying all five subspecies from the card that came with it—much better than just reading about them in a book.

My kids are obsessed with the fact that this little guy represents one of five different subspecies, and it's sparked a whole afternoon of looking up where each one lives in Central and South America. The pose is lively enough that it looks ready to leap off the shelf.

The fur texture is surprisingly soft for a toy this size, and the little hands are perfectly sculpted for a tree-dwelling monkey. My kid loves pointing out the tropical forest habitat on the included card, and the pose makes it look ready to leap across our bookshelf.
