I love this toy and, more importantly, my kids love it! I noticed in other reviews some complained about the new design and the fuzzy animals but I bought and received the original Noah's Ark, not the Touch and Feel version. Thank goodness! These are easy to clean and I appreciate that this toy does not make noise or light up. My only real complaint is not with the toy but with the product listing here on Amazon. The product features section does not specifically list what is included and the item picture is not in its package. Add in the reviews that seem to be talking about a different product (the Touch and Feel version) and I just wasn't sure what all came with this. I finally had to go to the Fisher-Price website to verify that this item includes the ark, Noah, 2 giraffes, 2 lions, 2 elephants and 2 zebras.

I bought this -- plus the two "expansion packs" of animals -- for my 11-month old son for Christmas. I love the new Touch & Feel animals. They introduce a whole new level of play for the almost-toddler set, learning about textures. My son also has the new FP Nativity Set with the Touch & Feel camel, cow, donkey and sheep, and he loves touching their soft, curly hair. I'm certain he's going to enjoy this, too.

My only complaint with the new set vs. the previous FP Noah's Ark toy -- where's Noahs' wife? She got left off the boat this time!

My son has had this since he was 12 months old, he's now 19 months old and still plays with it. I don't think a day goes by that he's not carrying around some animal. I do wish they had Noahs wife, but it's not a big deal. I haven't had any problems with the cleanliness of the "hair" on the animals.

The figures are a lot of fun. The ark is poorly designed. The bottom of the ark is not flush, so it tips over very easy. When the lid (top half of ark) is on, the botton is inaccessible even for little hands. The top of the ark is just a tiny room. There are no compartments or stalls for animals. Overall, the boat is just poorly designed.

My 15-month-old got this for her first birthday. She loves the animals and wants to play with them in the tub. The problem is that the animals have a hole in their underbellies, above where their legs end. Gravity is working against them -- water just doesn't drain out well at all, which leaves you with a wet, sloppy, germy mess if you actually let this floating zoo into your tub. The toy is very durable, though, and easy to surface clean. Most of our animals are smooth, but we have a couple of tigers with hair that gets soggy when wet, but gets clean easily enough. My 8-year-old son's main beef with this toy, though, is that when he wants to float it in the kiddie pool to play with his sister, it sinks like a rock. Oh well.

I have two preschool classes that meet in my home and I have a month where I talk about character qualities and that month I tell the Bible Story of Noah and the Ark. I saw the Fisher Price Little People Noah's Ark and thought it would be great to reinforce this story and give the children a chance to act out the story with pretend animals. The kids love it. Thanks!

I bought this toy to have around when my nieces and nephews come over. They like all of the Fisher-Price Little people toys, so I knew this would be a hit. They can play with it for hours at a time and ask for it every time they come over. I love that it is super easy to clean, so i never have to worry about the stickiness that seems to be inherent to toddlers. Keep in mind that it does not come with a lot of animals, so I would recommend purchasing some of the extras. My only real gripe with this toy is that there is no wife for Noah. Really?!?

This product is well made, the animals are great - but it would be a lot more fun for kids if it had wheels on it so that it could be pushed or pulled. My one year old granddaughter loved the animals, but found the ark boring - she enjoyed the yellow school bus a lot more because it had wheels and she could push it while crawling.

One the whole, this is a typical, durable fisher-price toy, and my kids have fun playing with it. It is nice that they make biblical-type toys (wish they'd bring the nativity set back!). My only problem is that, being a boat, my kids of course think it should go in the bathtub, and it really isn't designed for that. The wool hair on the animal takes a long time to dry, and the animals don't drain, because the little holes are on the bottom of their stomachs, so you can't get the water out of the animals feet (on the other hand, they won't really fill with water by themselves - my kids decided to deliberately fill them by pouring water in the little holes).

A fun toy on the whole, but would be better if more suited for being played with in the water. And I agree with a lot of the other reviews that a Mrs. Noah would have made sense as well.

A certain big name retailer starting with a W carries this online for twenty and it's very much in stock and not hard to find. I'm shocked at this pricing.
