Bajo Wooden Mini Gruffalo Figure

Retell the story of The Gruffalo with the Bajo Mini Gruffao figure, the instantly recognisable character with his knobbly knees, terrible teeth, poisonous wart and purple prickles, from the Julia Donaldson best-selling children's story.

The Bajo Mini Gruffalo wooden figure is a lovely chunky wooden toy with articulated limbs, the perfect size for little hands to hold. Flex its arms and legs into shape to enable it to walk, sit, stand and play. This mini version of the Gruffalo stands 15cm high making it perfect for days out and about. It's been designed and ethically made in Poland from sustainable sycamore wood and is brightly painted to match the Gruffalo illustrated by Axel Scheffler in the Gruffalo books by Julia Donaldson. Children will love to use the Gruffalo in a Gruffalo story sack to act out their favourite tale or add to a woodland animal collection. Team up with other Gruffalo animals for the full set and hours of interactive imaginative play. Use blocks, play scarves and treasures from the natural world to create a Gruffalo play scene. Bajo toys are beautifully made, durable and robust designs that will last, and be enjoyed by siblings and future generations.

Wooden animal figures are great toys to promote communication between children and inspire imaginative play. Picking up these chunky wooden toys and making them interact with other wooden animals will develop your child's tripod grip, motor skills and coordination too. With simple, minimal cardboard packaging, this wooden eco-toy ticks all the right boxes!

The gruffalo measures 8cm x 6cm x 15cm.

Bajo's beautiful wooden toys have been designed and manufactured in Poland over the last 25 years. These top notch toys are wonderfully tactile and will inspire imaginative play and learning. The manufacturing process is green from start to finish - sustainable wood from beech, birch, sycamore, acacia, cherry, walnut and plum trees is sourced from carefully managed forests in Poland. Skilled crafters transform the wood into toys that are treated with eco, non-toxic paints and oils, and waste wood is turned into fuel briquettes. Bajo toys are great for open-ended play and will be treasured by children for years before being passed on to new generations to be enjoyed all over again.
