Jumbo Jungle Animals, Animal Toys for Kids, Safari Animals, 5 Pieces, Ages 18 months+

When deciding whether to purchase this set of Jumbo Jungle Animals, I had some reservations based on reading over the vastly mixed/contrasting reviews on Amazon. However, given Amazon's easy returns, I figured why not. Having received them, I have to say I am delighted with the animals, for several reasons. First, the size. They are truly a wonderful, oversized size -- much larger than those you usually see. I think this makes them much more attractive and interesting to babies and toddlers - and easier for them to see and grasp. They have no small parts or small detachable bits to them, which also makes them safe choices. Given their size and overall shapes, they have no sharp edges or seams or pointy bits on them - also all very helpful for little ones playing. They are colorful and I thought my set had a very nice paint job on them. Maybe one of the great renaissance masters could do a better job but come on, folks. They certainly capture more than just the essence of the appearance of each animal included, and look wonderful. My set is on display lining the window ledge in my infant son's nursery, and when I hold them up for him he is completely fascinated and reaches out to touch them. However, I will wait until he is past the stage of putting everything in his mouth for him to play with them because I have my concerns about paint being non-toxic, along with the plastic they are made from (however, the box indicates they are intended for children who are past the age of such behavior, too). Lastly, I want to add that they are very lightweight, which is also a wonderful quality, in conjunction with the size. Overall, I am completely delighted with them and they look wonderful. Time will tell how they hold up when truly played with but I can't imagine any problems based on my own familiarity with their construction at this point. Given the extremely reasonable price, I think I more than got my money's worth.

I'm a little surprised at the wide variety of reviews for these. Perhaps the sets are not consistent? All I can review are the ones we received and we are very happy with them. These figures are larger than I had expected. The Giraffe is 13" high and the elephant is 12" long. The colors are bright and vibrant and reasonably realistic. My little one is hard on her toys and so far these are holding up very well. I'll update this review if she starts to wear them out! These are not cheap but I found them to be a good value. As with many items on Amazon it pays to watch pricing on items like these. This set and the farm animal set both ran as recent lighting deals at almost 50% off. Score! Note: I see a lot of people trying to compare these to the Schleich animals. The prices are roughly similar with Schleich being slightly higher per figure. I ordered three Schleich animals that I think will be good to match with this set. I'll report back on how they compare! Update: I purchases three Schleich animals. I was curious as to how they would compare to the Learning Resources sets and I figured a few more animals in our collection couldn't hurt! Here is my overall comparison: Price - Learning Resources seem to average out as less per animal. Quality - Schleich animals are much more sturdy. Apparently they are solid while the Learning Resources animals are hollow. Honestly there are advantages to both here. My daughter is 3 years old and I prefer the softer Learning Resources animals. They are soft to the touch and fairly flexible. I feel they are safer for toddler play both on your child and on your furniture! The soft Learning Resources animals are not going to damage small hands or your coffee table. The Schleich animals are hard enough to do some damage if smacked against your furniture or you child! Size - Learning Resources animals are larger. Once again I find this better especially for younger children. Realism - Schleich wins this hands down. The detail of each animal is better with Schleich and the colors seems to be much more realistic. If these are for education purposes especially with school age children Schleich may be the way to go. On the other hand the brighter colors of the Learning Resources animals may be better for preschoolers. Now that I have had the change to compare both brands I still prefer the Learning Resources animals for preschoolers. This seems to be the target audience for these sets. For older kids you may want to look more seriously at Scheich.

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.

Grandi e fatti molto bene , il mio bambino di un anno e mezzo ci gioca tanto

My 2yr old loves these. This is the 2nd set I've gotten, the dino's was the 1st. These are great materail & no sharp edges, not solid so can be tossed around & do not cause damage. The paint & details are accurate & well done. Highly satisfied. Came quickly & packaged well.

Relación calidad-precio y resistencia excelente. Los pedí para la decoración de una mesa de postres y están perfectos.

Meine Tochter spielt bereits seit einem halben Jahr ständig damit. Lediglich der Tiger ist mir persönlich etwas zu orange, aber meiner Tochter macht das natürlich nichts. Preis-Leistung-Top.

These animals are huge! Much bigger than expected and they look so impressive on my daughter's toy shelves! They are very durable and the attention to detail is great. My daughter loves these and so do I. She is only 15 months but I feel confident letting her playing with them under my supervision as they are so large and not solid so no danger of her hurting herself with them. I can see these being a favourite for years to come. UPDATE: At 21 months, these are without doubt my daughter's favourite toys! Of all her toys (there are many, too many...), these are the only ones that she gets out to play with every single morning, without fail! She lines them all up, brings them to us, makes their animals sounds, and lately has really started to use them for imaginative play, even including them in tea parties! They are zoomed across the floor, balanced atop building blocks, shoved down the gaps in the sofa, kissed and cuddled and still look as good as new. Well worth the price tag, even though it seemed expensive at first. We even purchased a different set from the jumbo animals range, and will be buying yet another for my daughter's second birthday, such is their popularity.
