• Features positive images of people, both male and female, from a range of ethnic and cultural groups, with and without disabilities.

• Includes a range of raw materials which can be used in a variety of ways and encourages an open-ended approach to creativity and problem-solving.

• Will enable children, with adult support, to develop individual potential and move towards required learning goals.

• Conforms to all relevant safety regulations and is sound and well-made.
