The four characters add an element of role play to the game. It is possible to combine them with the stacking or play with them separately.
The four characters are references to animals that live on, or near a pine tree. The figurines represent animals that for the child is easy to recognize.
The toy is made so it teaches the child about the animals, each of them have got a name and a story that in a childish way tells about how that animal lives.
Each character has a build in magnet in the bottom which either attracts or repels when you try to stack it on the tree.
When the tree is put away, are the animals resting in the center of the tree, waiting for next time you want to play with them.
