The Land Down Under

Perfect

I bought these as teaching aids to help my kids learn about different animals around the world. Concepts are so much easier for them to grasp if they can hold and play with the animals they're leaning about, rather than just reading about them in a book. The animals are well crafted, the pieces have been nicely painted and they're fairly detailed which helps them look more realistic - the snake has scales, the Cockatoo has feathers ridges, and others have fur. They also have their names on the underside in case you need help identifying what they are. Most of the pieces in this set stand up on their own fairly well, although some are a little wobbly. The only one there's a problem with is the Cockatoo - his feet are bent a bit too much and he likes to fall forward instead of standing up. He's also a little large to fit easily in the tube too and has to be wriggled in. The only thing I find a little cumbersome is the tube itself. While it's great for storing, it's compact size and odd shape makes it difficult to get the animals in and out - the rope handle also seems to get in the way. Other than the somewhat troublesome tube, the animals in this set are great and I will definitely be buying more of these collections.

this toob is quite nice like the rainforest one. I'm sad with the aborigin not being there but otherwise it's okay.By the way, i couldn't understand any name of any creature in both the tubes and the toobs so i took a marker pen and wrote down their names on their bodies.

Excelente calidad, precio alto. Utiles para jugar y clasificar.

We love the safari limited brand for the nice details (also, they write the names on the bottom of all their animals, so if your child is like my son and wants to learn the whole animal kingdom this will help you know the right terminology). We usually get our toobs at the craft store but they don’t carry this down under toob so took the risk and ordered off amazon. It’s perfect. This toob has animals that seem particularly well detailed.
