Deep Into the Forest

I don't know where I found this child's toy online, but I just got one for my daughter and it's pretty cool. The creators seemed to think of it as a toy that teaches spatial reasoning, as it comes with cards depicting various scenes a young child could re-create, but for my daughter and I it's more of a storytelling stage (the backdrop and some of the animals/trees swtich to winter versions covered in snow).

There aren't a lot of open-ended creative toys out there these days and this seems like one of the few new ones I've seen that allow for all sorts of scenarios.
