Wild and woolly
The Bad Wolff (sic)Toy Company stocks the Papo range of models from France and these include a selection of animals, including this mammoth. The mammoth is around 10 cm tall, so it is big enough to grasp for concentrated play, and there are also some prehistoric men to accompany him or her. The mammoth is priced around 6.

Obviously, toy manufacturers are aware of the endless popularity of dinosaurs among the young and Toyway has gone all out to cater for this. The Carnegie Collection is approved by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and includes large models of the Tanystropheus, Psittacosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, (pictured below left), which measures around 11in high and is priced Pounds 7.99. Hand-painted Chinese dinosaurs come complete with their own fossilised skeleton and the 'Walking with Dinosaurs' range to accompany the BBC series of the same title is also available. In addition to dinosaurs, Toyway stocks a huge range of other animals from snakes and reptiles to sea life and wild animals.
