When my daughter redecorated my three-year-old grandson's room, she decided on jungle animals. I found these and added them to his birthday gifts. When he opened the box, he forgot about the other gifts. They have become his (and his 2-year-old sister's) favorite toys. They are HUGE - about 8" - 12" each, and easy for little hands to hold. They are also actual depictions of the animals they represent. They are study and well-made, too. And when the kids are not playing with them, they look great on the top of the bookshelf. Even though they cost a bit more than most plastic animals you find in stores, their quality - and size - make them worth it.

My 4-years old grandson loves wild animals, and his favorite is the giraffe. When I saw that the giraffe in this set is 13 inches tall, I knew that I had to buy it for him. The animals are made of high-quality plastic, the faces are quite realistic, and the jumbo size makes them a lot more fun to play with. My grandson loves them.

For some time, my son has been fascinated with the animals he sees at zoos and on television. I was going through some ideas for Christmas presents and came across this set. Though the elephant and giraffe are his particular favorites, all of them receive much loving use. Their entertainment and educational value has been as great as their durability, as they have survived numerous car trips and gleeful tossings around the rooms of our home. If your child is at all interested in animals, especially zoo animals, I could not recommend this set more highly.

First thing I noticed when I opened the bag, the sizes of the animals are odd, they don't go "together" i.e. the elephant is off scale in comparison to the giraffe. Also, they are not made very well. the places where the plastic pieces were joined is very rough and noticeable and the paint job on a few of them looks as if it was done by a young child... I hope it wasn't. I'm unhappy with the giraffe the most, his feet don't sit evenly on the floor, so he tips over easily. I just got a German made animal by Schleich and there is just no comparison. The Schleich animals are far superior in every way, especially with how real they look. These are hollow and very poorly made. The only thing I like is how big they are, my son loves these giant jungle animals, esp the gorilla, I only wish they were of better quality. I'm glad I got them on sale because they are not worth the full price. I will not be buying any other sets, but I'll keep these around until he's finished with them, then they they'll be donated.

We got my 2 year old son a set of these for Christmas because he has been very interested in animals. I love the fact that these are so kid friendly, large enough to not pose a choking hazard and they seem to be very durable which is always a plus with boys!

My kids have tons of toys!

But even me and my husband were really impressed with this toy set (we bought farm, jungle and forest). My son loves any animal from these set, but rooster is his favorite. I think because it is the most bright from all animals.

These animals are huge, durable and catch the eye! Even my dog seemed to be interested (in horse). They are really huge! And this is great!!!

Our friend has set of small animals which are really boring and these are HUGE HUGE HUGE!!! And they are so realistic! All tiny details, eyes are perfectly developed. Regarding the "sew line" that the author from most critical review mentioned... Have you ever saw a plastic item without sew lane? It doesn't matter at all. Kids love this set!

Great!

This makes a great educational time as my son brings an animal to me and wants me to name it. He is interested finaly in animals! We have books, puzzles but they were not so interesting to study the names of animals.

Besides these set are not too big, you don't have 30 farm or 25 jungle animals. It will be too hard for young kid to remember who is who anyway. You get just a right amount of animals, the main ones.

I would suggest to add wolf to a forest set. And instead of gorilla put another monkey, more friendly and brightly type. I am scared of gorillas in general, but this one looks friendly.

My toddler is crazy about it and the Dinossaur set too. I see his imagination working through the plays he creates. Only thing is that the color of his favorite dino is kind of fading away on the edges, but the company guarantees it's non-toxic, so it's ok. I intend to by the farm and insect sets too.

I bought this toy for my Grandson who was four at the time; he did not care for them, mostly because he is more of a "game" boy. However, my 2-year-old grandson absolutely LOVES them!! The animals are so life-like and the giraffe is huge! They are made from a very durable plastic, but not rigid and hard. These animals are the first thing he goes for when he comes to Grandma's house!

My son got these at 20 months old and played with them nonstop. They are absolutely his favorite toys. They are not heavy, actually pretty light, and the perfect size. The giraffe is over a foot tall! I waant to get the others now :)

WOW I was shocked when these showed up. I guess I didn't expect the box or the animals to be such a good size. These are wonderful looking! I am giving them to my daughter for her 2nd birthday and wish I would have picked up more for other kids for their birthdays! I got a great price and I love these!
