Schleich believes that developing creativity and a rich imagination is one of the most valuable gifts you can give a child. Schleich figurines meet high quality workmanship and excellent surface design. All figures are lovingly hand-painted with detailed modelling and allow children to learn as they play. Brachiosaurus translated means “arm lizard”. It acquired the name, because its front legs were significantly longer than its hind legs. As such, its long neck pointed automatically upwards and it could eat taller plants with less effort.
