Made from soft Silicon these realistic linking people consist of 6 families with 6 family members - each made of a different transparent colour (making each character entirely different from the others) that can be linked by their hands. Characters include Grandad & Grandma, Mum & Dad and a Girl & Boy. Moulded with realistic features and in proportion they can be used across the curriculum. They are an excellent resource for storytell-ing, language development, mathematical sorting, pattern making and for their attributes (larger/smaller, taller/shorter, older/younger).
