This review is from: Fisher Price Noah's Ark (Toy)
I bought this as a first birthday present for my twins. I figured that we'd give it to them, but that they wouldn't be really ready to play with it yet - how wrong I was!
They LOVE this toy. The animals are just right for picking up. They love to show me the animals and have me name them, and are even starting to get the right one if I say, "Where's the panda?" or whatever. It's a toy that they go to time and again throughout the day. They have even figured out how to open the ark and they like putting the animals in and taking them out.
I love that I know it will last for a long time, because as they get older, they will be able to play "imagination" games with it.
The details are amazing, too. The animal pairs are easily identifiable as girls and boys - all the girls have blush and pink ears, while the boys don't, as another reviewer mentioned. Noah and his wife (in our house, her name is Betty) are built so that if you stand them next to each other, they hold hands. It is just too cute! It is this kind of extra detail that shows to me how much thought Fisher-Price puts into their toys.
I did buy one of the extra animal sets and plan to purchase the other one today. There is certainly room for storage of all the animals inside the ark.
This is a wonderful toy!

Role Play!!!, May 3, 2004

This review is from: Fisher Price Noah's Ark (Toy)
I am always on the look out for toys that allow role play for the children, not toys that think for them or take the fun out playing with them at all. I just love the little people toys. Why? Because not only does my 6 year old daughter continue to enjoy these particular toys (plays with them everyday) but they allow role play and they can be matched up with the other accessories very easily. They are also safe for when my older baby starts walking and begins to get into everything in the house. The only downfall to this noahs ark is that there are only three pegs to hold the people or animals on. In storage or when not in use, the other animals (or noah and his old lady) have to be loosely tossed inside of the ark, which has multiple large windows. Otherwise, it is very colorful, and the sex of the animals (girl/boy) are easy to tell unless the toys get faded in the sun ((the girls cheeks are rosy)). My daughter may never outgrow these cute people and their "sets". A very wise purchase and definitely not the last for the little people.

This review is from: Fisher Price Noah's Ark (Toy)
We registered for this set when I was expecting and were so glad to have it to pull out of the closet when our daughter was about 9 months old. She's coming up on her second birthday and we're still so pleased with this toy. The animals are very cute - they come in pairs of course, but the female animals have a little pink blush on their cheeks and sometimes some other distinguishing characteristic to set them apart from the males. We have fun lining the animals up two by two and seeing how far across the room the line stretches. (We also have the 2 supplemental animal sets.) The Ark has fun details on/in it like a check list of the animals and a photo of Noah and his wife. The different configurations for the ark make it a more versatile toy. It also can store all of the pieces in one place. The whole set is very durable as proven by my daughter's occasional rough handling of it. Definitely recommended!
