My grandson loves animals, he has loads of those small figurines.
For his cars he has a garage & playmat. My granddaughter has a dolls house for her dolls.
He needs something to "accommodate" the animals during play. The obvious answer is a farm, I did buy him the ELC one, it's not very big & it's pretty flimsy.
Anything for sale for animals seems to come with animals, like arks & farms.
I've bought some fences on eBay. But I can see them getting knocked over by his sister.
He needs something tall he can sit in front of like a garage for his animals!

Don't you know anyone who could make him a wooden farm? maybe contact a local joiner to see if they could make one.Not the same thing but my husband made my son a wooden garage and it was much more stable than a plastic one0 -

That's sounds very expensive - I was hoping for an off the shelf recommendation.0 -
what about a deep bookcase from argos and setting up the fenced areas in there?:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

How about an old suitcase lined with "grass" type wallpaper, ?you could paint trees round the insides, oh I could have such fun doing this!
I'd might out narrow shelves in the lid so that it could be propped open against the wall for vertical play.Norn Iron Club member 4730 -

Edit; Nikki has posted above at the same time as me and her suggestion is the same as the one in my link. It seems to be available other places too, Argos for example.0 -
