Coral Reef Toob - 11 Marine Life Figurines - Scuba Diver, Fish, Treasure, and More - Educational Toy Set for Boys, Girls, and Kids Ages 3+

I have a four-year-old grandson who loves animals of all kinds. He has another TOOB of sharks and whales, as well as fish from another company. One of his favorite things to do is fill a shallow container with water and play with his marine animals. He will do this for hours. This set adds more dimension to his water play. We have purchased several sets of TOOBs to feed his love of animals and are never disappointed in them or in the larger Safari animals. They are a quality product. They are sturdy enough to play with, realistically colored, and visually correct to aid in identification. TOOBs will continue to be a staple in our toy budget as long as he is passionate about animalsrealistically colored, and visually correct to aid in identification.

My 20 month old loves these, especially the one that looks like dory! Great for her learning new words. Easy to bring along to a restaurant if you put in a small bag. Great for a sensory box too.

I used these, very durable, plastic sea toys for cake toppers on my son's cake. He loved it and they worked out perfectly. After he took them off we washed them and now he plays with them in the bath. I do not recommend these toys for kids who put things in their mouth, some seem small enough to choke on, if not careful. I think they were a wonderful price for what I used them for and my son loved them!!!

I speak as a mother of Montessorian kids. The Montessori philosophy believes in sensitive periods, and among them, a sensitive period for small objects around age two. I purchased these Toobs for this purpose. My son notices the smallest little details in his environment, that no one else would notice. This is a sign of readiness. I let the kids freely play with the figures, using felt fabric for backgrounds, and nature treasures (leaves, rocks...), or I create cards that contain a picture of each objects, to match with the objects. This is a matching object-picture Montessori practice. You can also take them along when visiting the real world! Finally, the good thing about the figures, or any Toobs is that they use realistic shapes, and real life situations, which kids need in order to comprehend the world surrounding them.

My nearly 3 year old son has shown an interest in sea creatures this summer, so finding Safari Ltd.'s line was very helpful. The reassurance that the paint meets child safety standards is certainly a big plus, but these have also held up to some very vigorous play (including a dunk in the bath every morning and rinse afterward). These Toobs are a really great way to get some diverse creatures into your kids hands! The ONLY comment I have is that the tube itself makes it a bit difficult for a toddler to get the biggest piece (the treasure chest) out.

He loves them for the bathtub. My son loves his baths and these were cheap toys for him to use in the tub. He loves to play with the fish. They're big enough that he can enjoy them, yet small enough to fit in a busy bathroom without an issue.

The Coral Reef Toob just arrived and I am very disappointed. I am missing the Parrot Fish. I purchased this because of the Parrot Fish, as we are learning about them for our Ocean theme, and now I have nothing to show. I will probably return the whole Toob.

I bought this as a supplement to our homeschool preschool Ocean unit. We used them for a variety of activities and they were a big hit. Even just playing with them during bath time, there was a lot of imaginative play and learning going on. I enjoyed the variety of creatures. The scuba diver was a definite favorite!
