They're an original and award winning animal range made from organic maple wood and textile products.<br /><blockquote>"anamalz have unique characteristics which make them warm and appealing. Each piece has its own wood grain and individual markings that make them different from one piece to the next. Handcrafted and integrated with textiles, we have given our range the ability to move.<br /><br />anamalz look left and right, up and down and stand in different poses. This inspires hours of creative play. They are a unique gift, a story teller, a toy and a companion."</blockquote>Amamalz come in the <span style="font-style: italic;">wild</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">farm</span> or <span style="font-style: italic;">Australian</span> variety, each with it's own cool facts and characteristics. For example: did you know that echidnas (also known as spiny anteaters) are good swimmers and are called "puggles" when they are babies- still in the pouch.
