Montessori Monday – Free Safari Ltd. TOOB Keys and Activities

January 19, 2015 By Deb Chitwood 12 Comments

Over the past few years, Safari Ltd. gave me TOOB keys to host as free downloads at Living Montessori Now. Thanks, Safari Ltd.! I’ve always found the TOOB keys very helpful, both as ways to identify the replicas in specific TOOBS and as simple-to-prepare Montessori-inspired activities.

Typically, all you need to do is print out the TOOB Key, laminate it, and cut it out. Then have your child place the matching replicas on or next to the TOOB key.

Below, I’m sharing the Safari Ltd. TOOB Keys and coordinating Montessori-inspired activities at Living Montessori Now.

    Wonderful! We love our Safari Ltd. toobs. My son is captivated by animals so they are his go-to toy. We do activities with them all the time. Thanks for this resource!

    Deb,
    What an amazing opportunity for you! These are such an amazing resource that I look forward to using. I will be adding your dinosaur ideas to my dinosaur unit study resources, as well as my homeschool Pinterest Board.

    Hi Deb! I didn’t read every comment so perhaps this has been addressed… are you aware of the inaccuracies on the Horses key? They are laughably inaccurate, which really surprises me because of how realistic and accurate their materials usually are. I wonder if I should contact Safari Ltd. about it? I can make my own, but some poor kid is going to be really confused using the one here. “Fresian” is spelled Friesian and they are always black, “Bay” is a specific coloring of brown with a black mane and tail, “Chestnut” is also a brown color, an Appaloosa should have some spots or coloring (though not always), and a “White Stallion”… well it should be white! 😀 I really appreciate you posting these keys, my 2 year old is loving them right now. Just wanted to make sure you knew about this!! 🙂

      Wow, Jena! Thanks for letting me know! I’m so used to trusting Safari Ltd. that I didn’t really pay attention. That does need to be changed. I think I’ll delete the printable and contact Safari Ltd. to see if they’ll fix it. Deb

        Thank you for providing such great resources! I have been using your dinosaur materials with my nephew. I am curious if you also have keys for the Big Cats and Domesticated Cats toobs.

          Thanks, Corri! I’m glad my dinosaur materials are working for you! Sorry, but I don’t have keys for the Big Cats and Domesticated Cats TOOBs yet. I’m hoping to get more keys in the future. 🙂 Deb

    Any chance you have this for the Backyard Birds? I went through twice and didn’t find it. Thanks!

    Hello,

    I’m curious if there is a way to get more for other TOOBS?
    These are great!

    Thanks!
