Hippopotamus

My toddler immediately grabbed this hippo and started making it “swim” through the living room rug—the smooth, rounded edges feel safe for rough play. It’s held up well to being dropped and chewed on, and the paint hasn’t chipped at all after a week of daily adventures.

The chunky size is perfect for little hands, and the texture feels smooth and solid for rough play. My kid has already made it the star of every zoo setup we build, and it holds up great.

The chunky little body fits perfectly in small hands, and the wood has a smooth, solid feel that makes it great for banging around during play. It's quickly become the star of our animal lineup.
