👨👩👧👦🌍🌱 Lanka Kade Wooden Community Playset – 12 People
Bring everyday life to life through imaginative play with the Lanka Kade Wooden Community Playset. This colourful collection includes 12 chunky wooden people representing a diverse community, with different ages, genders and abilities. Designed to inspire small world adventures and storytelling, these friendly characters give children plenty of opportunities to create their own stories and explore the world around them.
The set includes grandparents, parents and seven children of different ages and genders, including a child using a wheelchair. Each character is double-sided, giving little ones a varied collection of people to incorporate into their own play. The inclusive mix provides a natural way for children to see a range of people represented within their imaginative worlds.
These versatile wooden figures can be used in all kinds of small world play. Children can create families, build imaginary communities, invent everyday adventures or combine the characters with other Lanka Kade toys and playsets. This open-ended approach encourages storytelling, language development and imaginative play, with children able to decide who their characters are and what happens next.
The chunky figures also offer plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning. Children can arrange and sort the characters by different features, line them up, stack them or incorporate them into play scenes. These simple activities can support fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, colour recognition, spatial awareness and a sense of order.
Made from durable rubber wood, the figures are designed to withstand plenty of hands-on play. Each character has a natural wooden edge and is approximately 25mm deep, making them comfortable for little hands to pick up and move around. They're supplied in a branded box, making it easy to keep the set together and making it a lovely gift for a toddler or preschooler.
Lanka Kade works directly with its producers in Sri Lanka and follows the internationally recognised 10 Principles of Fair Trade, supporting fair working practices and the skilled artisans who make its wooden toys.
Suitable from 10 months, with a recommended play age of 1–5 years, the Wooden Community Playset is a wonderfully versatile toy for home, nursery and preschool settings. As children grow, the same figures can be used in increasingly imaginative and detailed stories, making this a playset with plenty of possibilities.
