My children love playing with all these "Toobs" (we own several). I like to purchase them as a hands-on educational toy relating to various topics we are studying in Social Studies or Science. The tiny models are very high-quality, realistic, well-made, and nicely painted. The name of the animal is printed on the underside of each model. They store nicely in a clear plastic tube with a cool spinning globe on the lid, and a string for carrying. The plastic tube will break or crush easily if stepped on.

Excellent product. I've purchased all the wild-west Safari Toob series (cowboys, Indians, desert and forest animals). For a backdrop, I laminated four western (8x11) prints (desert, western town, forest with teepees, and cowboys on the range roping cattle)and bound them together with clear tape to make a large play mat which folds into a file folder size. From the moment my preschoolers pour out the toob characters onto the mat, their imaginations run as wild as the wild west--in its pristine beauty, that is--not in its violence. Safari Toob characters aren't focused on violence (cowboys with drawn guns, Indians with war paint, etc.). Play time becomes amiable as the children role-play with their toob characters and help each other solve problems or share goods and land. Thanks, Safari, for such good quality toys at affordable prices!

This was used for a school project not a toy. So, it was hard to rate it that way. I am sure that kids do like to play with them.

This toy has been a good occasion for me to let my little niece know the fauna of a world which is absolutely unknown to us, living across the Ocean.
Congratulations to the manufacturer. I sincerely hope to have the occasion of discover some other original ideas of him

I put these on the cupcakes for my son's wild animal party and these were a huge hit. They could also take them home with their treat bags after they licked all the icing off the bottom.
