My little brothers got this for their birthday along with the Giraffe tower and several other block sets. All of the sets are great except for this one. It only comes with four blocks and two of them barely do anything. The blocks fall out of the arc anytime it gets moved or bumped. It's a cute toy if you want to use it for decoration only, but to play with, it is not very good. They both love the tumbling giraffe tower though and play with all of the other blocks. They also love the vehicles set. I love this toy too because it keeps my brothers busy for hours while my mom is working on chores and cooking and it's easy to help her watch them. They actually play by themselves. Also, this keeps them out of my stuff.

This toy was bought for my 9 month old daugter. I thought this toy looked like fun at the store but guess I was wrong. They toy includes four clear plastic blocks that each have a place in the arch. One is elephants, lions, penguins, and fish. The best two blocks are the fish which is full of water, and the penguins which have "snow" inside the blocks.

Well the idea is to put the blocks in the arch and rock it back and forth to create motion inside the blocks. One problem is the motion in the lion and elephant can hardley be detected by an adult much less an infant. They barely tilt their head and only if they are in the proper position. It is also hard to keep the blocks on the arch, they always come off.

They make a similar toy involving the same type of blocks called Tumbling Giraffe, it looks more fun than this one. I personally would not recommend this and would take it back had I not thrown out the packaging.

This toy does nothing. My 7 month old son received this as a gift and has touched it maybe twice. When you try to rock it back and forth, the blocks fall out. The blocks are supposed to have movement inside but the only one of any interest is the fish. He does like looking at himself in the mirror but I can sit him in front of the one in our bathroom and accomplish this. I plan to buy the truck and just use the blocks from the ark as extras. The ark itself is useless!

I bought this toy for my 7-1/2 month old daughter, after seeing an ad for these blocks in the mail. I was greatly disappointed to see that the only blocks that the animals move were the fish! You can barely tell that the heads move on the lions. Needless to say-you can't really put the blocks anywhere on the arc-the fish were a lot heavier than the other blocks and had to go in the middle...not very fun for my daughter...Great idea, not thought through all the way.

Just love the blocks...we don't play with the Ark as much. I would just buy blocks forget the Ark, wagon, giraffe!!!

The BLOCKS make a great gift!!!

Although the fisher price blocks in this series (and associated toys) have been a major hit with our 12 month old son, this toy has been the biggest disappointment in the series. As other reviewers have states, it tips over easily, is difficult to balance, and is just plain boring! Our son has never given it a moment of his time. In our opinion, this combination set is only worth it for the fish-in-water block, which is the most interesting one in the whole series and can't be bought in any other set! I would skip this set, and try one of the other ones (the truck set has been a hit in our household).

Money can be better spent on another toy. The blocks don't stay in the ark very well, the fish block clouded up within days of use and there is a sharp plastic piece on top that is a hazard. I can't imagine what the designers had in mind on this product.

My son loves playing with the blocks, but shows no interest in the ark at all. I highly recommend the blocks, they are great for stacking and learning about different types of animals.

My 11-month old son has every item in the collection and this is, by far, the worst. I give it two stars for fun simply because he still likes to knock it down and play with the blocks. The arc itself is what makes it such a bad toy mainly because it's only purpose is to hold the blocks...which constantly fall out. All of the other Peek-a-Blocks items are much better than this.

This toy does absolutely nothing! And as far as the "engaging mirror" on the top of the ark, anytime my son tries to look in it, he gets poked in the eye w/the purple bird thing on the top. The attachment thing on the top truly is a hazard in my opinion & the only good thing about this toy was the blocks. We will probably end up just getting rid of the ark & keeping the blocks. (the fish one really IS cool though)
