Rhinocéros

My three-year-old grabs this rhino every single morning for story time, and it’s held up beautifully through all the banging and dropping. The size is perfect for small hands, and its chunky shape makes it easy to weave into whatever adventure she dreams up.

The wood feels solid and smooth, no sharp edges, which is a relief for a toddler toy. My kid has already worked this rhino into about a dozen stories with the farm animals, and it holds up well to being dropped.

My three-year-old carries this rhino everywhere since it arrived. The wood has a nice weight to it that feels sturdy for little hands, and it's already sparked some funny stories about a rhino who lives in our play kitchen.
