My little three-year-old loves playing with his toy animals. So, it was a pretty good bet he was going to love the Imaginext Jungle. WOW, did he ever?

This is a really cool toy! It has a ton of interactive fun, with hidden doors, slithering snakes, dangling spider, a trap door, lights and sounds, bats that shoot out of the cave, and some other fun animals are included.

We also have the Imaginext Castle (the previous favorite) and the original (toddler) Imaginext Pirate Ship. The jungle is similar to the castle in terms of portability, but it takes the fun of the castle up a notch. It unfolds to a larger size and in general just has more imaginative play possibilities.

Both the castle and the jungle also have the great benefit of being "double-sided toys". We have learned to appreciate the benefit of double-sided toys like these.

The toy can keep both our 3-yr-old and our 18-month-old occupied, playing together, but separated with the toy acting as a bit of a barrier to the inevitable "learning how to share" issues.

As with all toys, the greatest frustration is for the parents, because the packaging was a challenge to undo (especially with a 3-yr-old who can't wait to start playing). I can't say I blame Fisher Price for the packaging, since they have made it so the kids and parents can try most of the toy right on the shelf. Just a fair warning that you may want to "unbox" this one and wrap it up without the box to avoid the frustration in front of an anxious birthday boy.

Unfortunately, it appears the Jungle is getting harder to find. We got ours through an Amazon Marketplace vendor, but have noticed that the Amazon listed price has gone up.

If I had one gripe about the whole jungle collection, I would like to see Fisher Price remove the animal "caging" and "capturing" aspects of the collection. (disclosure: I can't believe I am playing into the political correctness created by some organizations I loathe) But, in a world that is clearly trying to "preserve" species and become more eco-conscious, perhaps we could introduce imaginative play of "animal safari adventure" without the hunting/caging aspects. No cages come with the Jungle toy, those are part of 'other' smaller sets of animals to complement the Jungle.

But, it is worth noting that the 'Jungle character' that operates the various Jungle doors, traps, etc. is the one 'human character' included in the set rather than an animal. It would have been nice to have seen a jungle creature with the ability to turn the 'foothold' operating keys.

My 4 year old daughter received this as a Christmas gift this year and she really loves it. Its larger in size than I expected (I think that is why it has a high price tag). I posted a picture of my 4 year old sitting next to it so you can get an idea of how big it is. Although it is big, its folds up for easier storage.

She has a lot of fun with it. Its the same concept as a doll house, but its a nifty jungle. Do be warned, there are a few small pieces like the pastic snakes that could cause a choking hazard for younger siblings.

My son got this last year for Christmas at age two and a half. EVERYONE loves to play with this toy. The youngest to the oldest (I have a now 3 year old boy, 4 year old boy and 6 year old girl). It is such a fun, durable toy. We've purchased many of the accesories to go along with it and they are all well made and fun to play with. I recommend the whole Imaginext line. Well worth the money.
