Food Chain Toys are Russian dolls with a twist – they don’t just nest inside each other, they eat each other whole!

The toy set encourages ‘smart play’ for children of all ages as they are interactive enough to be toys in their own right, but are also based on real food chains for active learning. A one year project as part of a collaborative research project, Marine Toys evolved with advice from toy industry and child education experts.
