Safari Ltd. Jamestown Settlers TOOB – 10 Educational Miniature Figurines

Explore Jamestown through hands-on history

Safari Ltd. presents the Jamestown Settlers TOOB, a collection of 10 hand-painted miniature figures that bring daily life in America’s first permanent English settlement to life. The lineup includes a sailor with a navigational device, a female gardener, a blacksmith, a settler workman, a female settler cooking, John Smith, plus a chicken, a pig, and a cannon. Sized for small hands, these figures are easy to pose, sort, and display while fueling imaginative storytelling about life in Jamestown, Virginia.

Designed for curious minds, this TOOB pairs tactile play with accessible history. Each figure is crafted from non-toxic PVC and is BPA-free, making them suitable for children aged 3 and up. The miniature details—textures in clothing, tools, and livestock—offer a tangible glimpse into the era without making claims beyond what observation and imagination can support. Children and caregivers alike can imagine journeys, trades, farming, and community tasks that shaped early colonial life.
