Learning Resources Jumbo Domestic Pets, Preschool Toys, Ages 2+

The students have really enjoyed these! The larger size made them fun for pretend play during our pet study!

I JUST RECIEVED THE LEARNING RESOURCES JUMBO DOMESTIC PETS. I WAS EXCITED TO GET MY HANDS ON THEM. MY DAUGHTER HAD A FARM SET WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE. I ENVISIONED MY GRANDSON HAVING THE SAME PLEASURE. THE PACKAGE IS BEAUTIFUL. MY PEKENESE USES MY TABLE FOR LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW. WELL, I OPENED THE BOX WITH A LITTLE BLACK NOSE HELPING ME. I SET THE ANIMALS OUT. I FELL IN LOVE AND SO DID SAM!! HE ADOPTED THE GUINEA PIG. IT IS STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. THERE IS SO MUCH DETAIL IN EACH ANIMAL. THERE IS A LABRADOR DOG, A BLACK AND WHITE CAT, A COTTONTAIL RABBIT, A PARROT, A GOLDFISH, AND THE GUINEA PIG. THEY COME WITH AN INFORATIVE BOOKLET. WHICH PETS HAVE FUR OR HAIR? DO ANY OF THE PETS LAY EGGS? THESE STURDY ANIMALS CAN GIVE A CHILD HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT YET CAN BE USED IN A CLASSROOM. DID YOU KNOW THERE IS AROUND 400 MILLION DOGS IN THE WORLD? DOGS BECAME HOUSE PETS MORE THAN 15,000 YEARS AGO!! THERE IS OVER 500 MILLION DOMESTIC CATS IN THE WORLD. THERE IS 350 BIRDS IN THE PARROT FAMILY. GOLDFISH WERE KEPT AS PETS THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. GUINEA PIGS ARE BORN WITH THEIR EYES OPEN. COTTONTAIL RABBITS HAVE A FLUFFY TAIL LIKE A COTTON BALL. THESE ARE FOR AGES 2+.

When they say "Jumbo" they mean it! The quality of the animals are much better than you get at cheaper stores. No sharp or pokey edges and completely safe for my 5 yr old daughter. She loves them! They come with a cat, dog, rabbit, goldfish, guinea pig, and parakeet. So fun and realistic for a great learning toy!

I recently received the Learning Resources Jumbo Domestic Pets and both my one year old son, and three year old daughter loved this toy set. It was nice to see them enjoying a toy that helped them to use their imagination. The set comes with a hamster, dog, cat, fish, bird, and bunny. My one year old son enjoys making animal sounds while playing with the figures. My three year old daughter enjoys playing pet shop with this set. I would definitely recommend the Learning Resources Jumbo Domestic Pets. The animals are well made, and so far are very durable. My two children even enjoy playing with them in the bath tub. I can see them both getting a lot of use out of the Learning Resources Jumbo Domestic Pets. I really don't have any cons. Just pros: easy to bring anywhere, no batteries to replace, well made, cute, encourages imagination. I have another baby on the way and I have no doubt that he will enjoy playing with these toys soon too. The Learning Resources Jumbo Domestic Pets are each one piece, no small parts for a little baby to choke on. I plan on purchasing some learning resource sets in the future. My one year old son is obsessed with horses, so I will be looking to get a set that includes horses. Also a dinosaur set would also be a neat idea.

These are great, sturdy you animals. This set also includes animals that are not usually found in other sets, like the guinea pig. The size is perfect for playing.

I ordered these animals for our three year old grandson to play with when he visits us. He played with them all weekend. In fact, he loved them so much, that I sent a second set to his house.

These are larger than expected and perfect for any child over 1 year. The animals are very realistic and easy for small hands to grasp. I gave this to my great-niece for her 3rd. birthday and she carries the retriever around with her. She says he protects her. LOL Well made and easy to clean.

these toys are marvelous. Children of all ages love them and they are interestingly packaged. They are big and colorful, easy for little hands to play with and their lifelike look for each one is remarkable. Excellent choice for a gift or even for decorating. It is a great way for one to pass the time for hours. The domestic animals are extremely lifelike and just plain great to own. I can imagine the rest of the collection must be wonderful.

Jumbo Pets My granddaughter, who loves animals, like a lot of children; loves playing with these toys in the bathtub, as well as playing ‘animal doctor' with them. She carries the little black and white cat around with her to play outside in the backyard and gives him to you when she thinks you need a snuggle buddy. My biggest gripe as an adult is the coloring on the Golden Retriever dog does not match from tail to body, but most children won't notice that themselves. Also, for being called “Jumbo Pets” they really aren't that large, I was expecting something larger. I also believe that the safety age could be lowered to 1 year and over; the animals are not tiny and don't have small parts. Keeping the age range at 2 and over, the animals legs, heads, etc. could at least move, make them a bit more fun to play with. But, all in all my granddaughter loves to play with the Jumbo Pets, and they encourage her to use her imagination, and in the long run that is what really matters.

These are listed as educational toys, but they're so creepy-looking that I can't see anybody wanting these for any kid they cared about. They're not appealing for play and don't make sense as educational aids. (How long does it take for a child to get what a dog looks like?) The idea is simple, animal-shaped toys, but the execution is awful. Ick.
