Description
This 3D card craft playset builds three cheerful animal characters, each with a vehicle and a handful of accessories of their own. George the elephant drives a red car and brings a picnic set with a gingham blanket, a hamper and food items. Luca the dog rides a pizza delivery scooter with four pizzas to drop off, while Ali Gator the alligator has a blue jeep, a suitcase and a map for his travels. Every piece is bright printed card, with number plates, labels and little details already on it. Once built, George's car and picnic come to about 20cm at the longest, Ali Gator's jeep about 17cm and Luca's scooter about 15cm, and each model stands about 14.5cm tall.
The fun starts before the play does. The models go together from flat card pieces using the double-sided tape in the set, with an illustrated instruction booklet to follow, so there is a satisfying spell of folding and fixing first. Once they are made, the three characters head off into all sorts of stories on a playroom floor or the kitchen table: a picnic to lay out, pizzas to deliver and a trip to plan with the map and suitcase. Between games, the finished vehicles look cheerful lined up on a bedroom shelf.
The pieces are card, and the tape is made from card, paper and adhesive, so the whole set is light and easy to handle. As with any card model, keep the finished pieces dry and away from damp, and dust them gently with a soft dry cloth rather than wiping them. A shallow box keeps the characters, vehicles and accessories together between adventures, so nothing goes missing. We think it makes a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys a hands-on make, with a ready cast of characters to play with once the last piece is in place.
