Animals Reviews

My three year old loves these foam dinosaurs. I am not sure what the previous reviewer is referring to, this is a stegosaurus. They are so life like and they are big and soft so that "accidents" aren't an issue. My son loves to sleep with all three in the group. Great toy!

The only reason I give one star for educational value is because this toy is listed as a stegosaurus. This is not a stegosaurus. It is a brachiosaurus. A stegosaurus has vertical plates on its back and spikes on its tail.

I purchased an Anne Geddes baby leopard about 6 months ago and have been enjoying her ever since!
Her costume has very realistic leopard fur pattern , with a soft fuzzy feel and a removable hood.
Overall she's a very cute, huggable, well-made baby doll that children and collectors can both appreciate.

My daughter received this doll for Christmas. She is 3 years old. She has many of the other Anne Geddes dolls but has never played with them...she loves this one! She has slept with it every night and carries it with her. I think it's because it is so cuddly and plush...not hard and stiff like the other ones. This is a cute doll.

This filly/colt is a gorgeous Appaloosa at the canter. Her eyes are beautiful and spirited and her leopard colored coat is a pleasure to look at. By far the best foal Breyer has ever made. If you are a collector of Classic sized Breyers like me, she fits in beautifully as a smaller horse. The durability of this model is great, I have just had several Breyers lose legs and I think they are all generally fragile. Well worth the money... She is so much FUN!!!!!!!

This cute foal is a lepord spotted Appaloosa. He is white with black dots on him. He has a short tail that is the right size of a real foal. His mane and tail is white and black. He is in a canter position. He has black nostrils with black around it. A very pretty colt.

I started thinking of this toy when a friend of mine had a child. I remember the hours of fun I had with my barrel of monkeys and for the price, this is a great toy. It must be purchased for all children of America.

It is inexpensive, and will provide hours of creative play.

The "Barrel of Monkeys" game may be one of the easiest, simplest games ever to be marketed. It consists of a plastic barrel about the size of a grapefruit filled with little plastic monkeys, arms extended and bent. (You've seen them, either in Toy Story, 12 Monkeys, or in your genetic memory. These things have been around forever.) The goal of the game is to pick up a string of monkeys by holding the top one and looping arms together. It's about as complicated as pick-up sticks, and more fun -- after all, it's monkey-based.

The fun of Barrel of Monkeys isn't the game. It's the score of plastic monkeys. Monkeys are inherently funny, plastic loop-armed monkeys even moreso. Consider the price, too: a couple dollars for a whole barrel of monkeys. How can you /not/ afford to buy it?

This Chesnut would make a great addition to any horse collection.First you may want to buy it and see if you like it.Then if you would like to buy extras,you should do so.

This Breyer horse is a beauty. It is a caramel color and has a white mane and tail. It has 2 white socks on it's back legs. The front hooves are black and the back ones are tan. The horse has a darkened muzzle and black eyes. It has it's head up in a proud matter and it's tail is slightly raised. This is a great edition to any collection.

This Breyer vet is neat! She comes with syringe, medicine tub, thermometer, vet case, and stethoscope. This is educational because it teaches how to care for a horse's health and is fun because kids like dolls. However, the vet doesn't stand even on a hard surface and sometimes the joints get loose. The tiny thermometer and syringe are constantly getting lost.

ALL HORSES CAN GET SICK ONE DAY EVEN BREYER HORSES,THATS WHAT VETERINARIANS ARE FOR.WITH THIS VET DOLL YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF HORSES AND GIVE THEM MEDICINCE WITH THE KIT.

I'm 13 and my little brother got this for Christmas and I absolutley enjoy it, I even sleep with it. I saw Brother Bear and I loved it. Koda was my favorate also. I think this plushie is suitable for ALL ages, even adults! (Thats if you like Koda)

My Koda bear just arrived today as a birthday present... and he's adorable! I have a terminal disney addiction and a penchant for collecting teddy bears... this one is entirely too cute and very huggable... I'd recommend it to anyone!

In June, We saw the trailer of Disney's Brother Bear. And it said that the movie will come out in November. Then in March, I got Disney Adventures saying "Brother Bear Coming to Video and Disney DVD March 30th." Then right before April I finally got the movie!!! I watch the movie every Tuesday at home. I'd recommend this toy a 5 out of 5.

I saw Brother Bear, and thought it was very good, so I decided on 1 stuffed animal to get from it. (We'll see how long that lasts!) I picked Kenai, (although out-cuted by Koda) because he was my favorite from the movie. He was bigger than I expected and lots of fun, however, not very educational. This one doesn't talk. (I don't like talking ones) I recommend this to Kenai fans or Brother Bear collecters.

This is a very detailed toy/model. It can break because it has slender front legs. Mine did not break but I bet it would with a small child. The box has about 4 long paragraphs about this horse's history. I would recomend it to any horse lover or Breyer collector.

BUCEPHALUS IS THE HORSE OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT.THIS BREYER MODEL IS IN THE LINE OF HORSES IN HISTORY.BUCEPHALUS IS A BLACK ARABIAN STALLION,WITH A WHITE STAR IN HIS FOREHEAD.HIS NAME MEAN OXHEAD.WHEN HE DIE ALEXANDER FOUND THE CITY OF BUCEPHALIA.

These rabbits are SO CUTE! All Calico Critters families have an average height of about 3.5 inches (adults are larger than children & baby sets) . They are covered in a soft downy flocking, are pose-able, and highly detailed. Each family member comes with a removable outfit, with detail & care sewn in. Bright colors, Velcro fastens, ribbon ties, and tiny buttons & lace all add to the charm of their clothing. Children will have hours of fun with all the houses, furniture, and accessories that can be bought. Sets teach kids hand eye coordination (so many miniatures to interact and use) social interaction, Family structure, and creativity. Older individuals can appreciate these detailed miniatures as well. Calico Critters are actually from an older toy line many might recall from the 80's, called "Sylvanian Families". Epoch (maker of both), has started sales again, under a new name in the states. Same old lovable families, with new names. However, the sylvanians of the 80's have been retired in this line (SF is still sold in JP and UK), and replaced with entirely new animals.

Their only downside is the fuzz/flocking. With gentle - normal play, they'll hold up for years and years. However anyone with a child going through a "rough and tumble" destructive phase, may find out that the fur can rub off if heavily scrubbed &scratched. Consider these an indoor toy, and not really intended for rough, outdoor play, or extended bathtub play.

Calico critters are really really cute! They are soft and fuzzy and come in many little animals-chipmunks, squirrels, cats, dogs, and lots more. I don't own a house, but I just think that having the critters is enough. I have a whole box of them that I collect.
These are great toys. I encourage you to buy them-for gifts, for you, for whatever!
