Cows can’t understand human language, but they can distinguish between a friendly and an unfriendly tone of voice.  They can also tell from the tone of voice whether someone is serious and sincere.  Cows show affection by licking each others’ heads, shoulders and backs.  If they are separated from their friends, they often get stressed and sad.  It’s not difficult for cows to tell each other apart: they have unique voices and scents.  In addition, the animals can identify up to 100 faces from their herd and are highly intelligent.  Not only can they solve puzzles, but they actually really enjoy them.  If they work out how to open a gate with a button, they jump up and down and frolic around.

Fun fact:  Cows moo differently in different regions, imitating the dialects of the farmers in their own unique way.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and dyes, which are carefully selected to meet the respective requirements.  Most typically plastics used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), in addition to other plastics typical for toys.  Even the material suppliers are subject to strict controls by our quality officers. The dyes used are optimally adapted to the different types of plastic and demonstrate top-rate mechanical and chemical resistance.  They ensure the high durability of Schleich products and make all Schleich pieces saliva and sweat proof as well as abrasion-resistant, and thus ensure that they are completely safe for playing with. Only once a product meets fully all international laws, standards and guidelines for toys is it released for production.  All Schleich articles and materials comply with the national and international toy requirements applicable worldwide, as well as the new European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and DIN EN 71.

Recommended for 3+.

We love Schleich's realistic animal figures, a quality toy that stimulates the child's imagination as well as teaching them about animals and wildlife.
