Safari Ltd. Coral Reef Giveaway and Activities

I attended a Twitter party for Safari Ltd hosted by the blog Childhood Beckons in January and was fortunate enough to win an Arctic Toob filled with animals, an igloo and hunter. JDaniel had the best time with it. When Safari Ltd. sent me an e-mail thanking me for attending the party, I told them how much he like the set.

They asked if I would like to pick another set to review and giveaway. JDaniel poured over their catalog for hours trying to decide which set to get. Ultimately he ended up overwhelmed by the choices and asked me to pick out the set for him. I selected the Coral Reef  Toob. We have been reading a lot of book about the ocean lately.

When we got it, he took it upstairs and started playing with it in the sink right away. He has also used the sea creatures, diver, and coral in both wet and dry sensory bins. The dry one was so easy to play with and to clean up. I just put a dish towel in a plastic container. The wet sensory bin is just colored water in a plastic tub. It was equally as easy to clean up, but water did escape from the tub a little.

I love these toys! They are so well made and are large enough for small hands to play with. Each of our Toobs came with twelve objects. JDaniel liked having several different objects to pretend with and it expanded the breathe of his play.

The very best thing about them it that they encourage pretend play. I love to listen to JDaniel play with them. The stories he makes up change every time and are all filled with action. (Pretend play is so important for children. )

We were recently at A.C. Moore and JDaniel found a Safari Ltd. display. He has already started to decide which of those sets he is hoping to get for his birthday. If you explored their site, I think you would have trouble deciding which set you would like to have too.


Guess what? One of you is going to win a Coral Reef Toob of your very own!

  8. We LOVE toobs! The boys got several for Christmas (I use the AC Moore coupons from the paper so we get them half off). I've been eyeing some of the civil war toobs lately - I think they'd been fun for using outside in the dirt and leaves.
