Jumbo Domestic Pets - 6 Pieces, Ages 2+ Preschool Pet Toys, Classroom Desk Pets, Preschool Learning Toys

I ordered these for my our pets study. My students absolutely adore these, and they have been a class favorite since I introduced them. As a teacher I am always looking for items that I can use in my classroom that are a good value and are durable. These torally fit the bill. Since I pay for these items out of pocket and dont like wasting money, I tey to purchase things that will last for a long time. I was very pleased with the quality...they will defintely stand up to lots of years of play in a busy preschool classroom! I am looking to purchase additional animals from this brand since I liked the quality. The animal sizes were great too (they are perfect size for little hands to hold!) The animals are very detailed too. I will be buying more of these for my classroom. Thanks for making a great product that children love!

These, and all Learning Resources animals that I’ve purchased, are so wonderful! They are heavy (solid!) and beautiful, a large handful especially for children, and the detail is just wondrous. I have used them for years in my preschool classrooms (primarily toddlers and twos) and the children are continually thrilled! They ARE expensive, but ultimately worth it because these animals don’t break (easily), have no smell, and can be used in a variety of activities and quickly washed off. I just don’t find their equal in other brands of plastic animals and won’t happily purchase anything else.

I knew they’d be big, just didn’t realize how big! Picture shows them with Lego Duplo for scale. I’m super sensitive to smells, and I didn’t notice any smells from these. My toddler and my big kids enjoy playing with these. Most of them are hollow with two halves glued together; while the two halves aren’t always aligned with the utmost of precision, they’re aligned good enough for my family. If the big ones were solid, they’d probably be too heavy for safe toddler play.

I bought 5 sets of the Jumbo animals (farm, jungle, forest, zoo, pets) and am extremely satisfied. The reviews over the last 8 years were mixed, and it sounds like this may have been in part due to a change in manufacturer. After extensive online research for animal figures, I decided to purchase the Learning Resources brand, and I'm very glad I did. First, let me say that these things are STURDY! They are a very firm, rubbery plastic with just a little bit of squeeze to them. Because of the substantial weight, the animals stand nicely and stay put. It seems they will be very durable. Second, yes they do have seams. I'm not an expert, but I can't imagine it's possible to mould a hollow plastic toy without either a seam or hole. What's really great is they do NOT have a hole like most squeezable plastic toys. This is important, because toys with holes get moisture inside which can grow black mold and cannot be properly cleaned. So, while the seams are not absolutely ideal, they make for a water-tight toy that can be thoroughly washed and safely used in the bath. Although the paint job is not perfect, the ones I received were not so bad as to detract from the overall look. And I'm fairly certain my toddler granddaughter won't notice if the lion's eyes are a little crooked! Before purchasing, I debated about whether these sets were too expensive, but am very happy with the quality of the toys for the price. At $3-7 each, given the size and quality, they are an excellent value. Of the 27 animals I bought, 1 had a seam that was noticeably wonky. It didn't affect the structural integrity so wouldn't have really been a problem, however I reached out to Learning Resources to ask if they might provide a replacement. Their customer service was incredibly gracious and promptly sent a new rabbit. It can be challenging to buy toys online so I wanted to share my experience in the hopes it will help others who are looking for quality toys. I highly recommend these Jumbo Animal sets, and in fact, have found Learning Resources to produce many high-quality educational toys.

Mi sono stati consigliato perché cercavo degli animali grandi affinché nn potesse metterli in bocca del tutto! E sono davvero enormi e ben fatti di qualità! Se proprio devo trovare una pecca è che ovviamente pesano… Appena aperti erano un po’ appicciòsi ma siccome sn chiusi oltr che dentro la scatola anche in una confezione di plastica penso sia per quello ma basta lavarli e sn perfetti poi.

Great quality and size

Ich brauchte für meinen Kleinen Tiere, die "echt" aussehen. Die Schleich-Tiere wären demnach die erste Wahl gewesen, für meinen Sohn wären viele jedoch (Aufmerksamkeit, evtl. verschluckbar) zu klein gewesen, mit gefällt auch im Vergleich dazu, dass das Plastik nicht ganz hart ist. Diese Tiere entsprechen in der Optik meinen Ansprüchen (die oft bekrittelte "Naht" sieht man, für ein Spielzeug finde ich sie aber im Rahmen). Mit gefällt auch sehr, dass die Tiere untereinander einen realistischen Größenunterschied aufweisen (nur der Wellensittich ist Originalgröße - verständlich - sollte ja auch ein großes Tier sein und hätte man sich daran orientiert, wie groß wäre sonst der Hund!?) Was mich sehr stört - deshalb 4 Sterne- ist tatsächlich der Geruch. (Ich bin da echt nicht überempfindlich, aber wenn man eine Spielzeugschachel aufmacht und glaubt, man hätte gerade die Tür zu einem Auto-Zubehör-Geschäft aufgemacht, ist das wirklich heftig!) Die Tiere wanderten gleich mal für 3 Tage an die frische Luft. Der Karton war danach auch noch unmöglich, die Tiere halbwegs im Rahmen. Nach gut einer Woche spürt man den Plastikgeruch, wenn man direkt daran riecht, noch immer leicht. Mein Sohn, er nimmt noch alles in den Mund, darf mit den Tieren deshalb vorerst auf gar keinen Fall alleine spielen. Zum Erlernen der Tiere werden wir sie aber gerne einsetzen und die große Schwester hat sie auch schon für ihre Barbies gerne verwendet. Was mich immer wieder hier stört, sind die stark schwankenden Preise. Heute, wo ich diese Rezension schreibe, erkenne ich "zum Dank", dass die Tiere heute 5 Euro billiger sind als vor zwei Wochen. Na toll.

My son is autistic...and loved these for his 14th birthday and shunned his main age appropriate gift. He plays with them everyday. Live the quality and size. Would recommend

No me ha defraudado; las figuras son grandes y aptas para bebes. Lo compré para un niño de 15 meses y le encantaron. Su gran tamaño es ideal para su manipulación y no presentan ningún riesgo de poder romperse o de piezas que se las pueda tragar.
