Donkeys, Okapis and Horses...Oh My! There's nothing more fun than opening up a box of products for review and finding a whole herd of wild animals (at least the "wild" animals are not my kiddos this time). They couldn't wait to dig in.


They quickly divided them up and the animals disappeared...somewhere. They periodically reappear (usually one in each of Emma's fists).
We received (my own pics were woefully inadequate for showing the detail, so these are from the Schleich site):
Donkey

Dartmoor Pony

Gnu

Gnu Calf

Indian Elephant Calf


Przewalski's Horse

Swabian-Hall Piglet Eating

ReplyDeleteNice review! The Schleich animals look so cool...my kids used to love playing with some African wooden carved animals from a missionary store. Wish they'd send some toys to the Older Crew! LOL
