Smartmax My First Safari Animals
(Smartmax $21.99)
A set of six safari animals— a hippo, lion, giraffe, crocodile, elephant and rhino, that do not come out of the box ready for action. Each creature comes in two parts that are joined by a cylinder with magnets embedded at both ends. Push them together and use them for dramatic play. They will make colorful props for blocks. Kids will no doubt like creating their own crazy critters, putting a lion head with a crocodile tail. These are big enough for toddlers to use safely and colorful enough to have visual appeal. They do stand up when assembled properly. Marked 1-5, we’d say the sweet spot for these is closer to two and a half and up. We doubt they will be of interest for long to 5s.
Ages: Toddlers, Preschoolers
