Disclosure: I received 5 Safari Ltd TOOBS for this review. I was not required to write a positive review, and any opinions expressed are my own. Also, this post contains affiliate links.
You don’t need to be a Montessori teacher or Montessori homeschooler to appreciate Safari Ltd. TOOBS, although the TOOBS are wonderful for creating Montessori-inspired activities. Safari TOOBS are perfect for parents of young children. They’re also great if you’re a homeschooler or teacher who wants to give your children and/or students hands-on learning activities which work well for multiple ages.
In case you aren’t familiar with Safari Ltd. products, they’re award-winning miniature collectibles in many themes (perfect for unit studies). The Safari Ltd. sculptors work closely with zoos and museums to create detailed, lifelike molds from which each small plastic model is made. The models are all hand painted and packed in reusable acetate tubes with a spin-able globe on each tube’s lid. Safari Ltd. TOOB collections are phthalate-free and safety tested. Suggested age is 3+.
About the Safari Ltd. 5 Farm/Horses/Dogs Toobs
Each TOOB is $11.99. (Safari Ltd. does have a few designer TOOBS that are $12.99 and Mega-TOOBS that are $21.99) These are the usual high-quality Safari Ltd. TOOBS … I love them!
Horses TOOB The Horses TOOB® contains a Tennessee Walking Horse, Bay Horse, Trakehner, Clydesdale Mare, Appaloosa, Barb, Clydesdale Stallion, Chestnut Horse, White Stallion, Haflinger, Jutland Heavy, and Friesian. This set is a good way to introduce the many breeds of horses. Replicas Measure 1.5” to 3” (4 to 7.5 cm)
You won’t have a hard time finding activities to use with farm-related TOOBS. I have a Montessori-Inspired Farm Unit with lots of farm activities and links to farm printables. I also have a post about the Montessori Grammar Farm. And I’ll have a post on Saturday with free farm printables and Montessori-inspired activities using Safari TOOBS. Next Tuesday, I’ll have a post with an inexpensive version of the Montessori grammar farm.
In addition, I have a Farm Unit Study Pinterest Board with farm activities of all types.

CONGRATULATIONS, Jeanette!!! A HUGE THANK YOU to Safari Ltd. for sponsoring this fabulous giveaway – and thank you to everyone who entered!
We are just discovering Toobs and love the open play value! Great quality and detail.
I teach in bush Alaska. Most of my prek students have never seen a cow, pig, goat, etc except in pictures. These tubes would help increase their understanding of farm animals.
I am a huge fan of Safari products. My girls current favorites are their Dinosaur Line-up.
I love to keep a variety of imagination-sparking toys in the children’s playroom! These are fantastic! I can put these in my children’s hands and they will start talking to them and creating their own farm – I can see it now!
We just moved out from our suburban life into the quiet country. We’re hoping to life more off-grid and self-sustainably. I would love to win these farm toobs for my girls. They are impatient for the time when we get our land prepared for animals and I would love to surprise them with these little Safari cuties!
These would be great to continue the gathering of my works as I continue with my Montessori studies.
Oh, we have two of these toobs already and my daughter can’t get enough! Thanks!
to help my daughter learn her animals/souonds!
How cool! These would be our first Toobs. My daughter would love them! 🙂
My three kids love toobs! They think of so many ways to use them and I love that this product inspires them to use their imagination 🙂
I would LOVE to win these! I really enjoy collecting little objects, and my children LOVE playing with them! They are also used extensively with our Montessori curriculum and Montessori influenced homeschool 🙂
What a great learning tool! I’m a school teacher, teaching kindergarten (just started) and have just now found out about these! I would love to win these toobs for use at home as well, with my 2 1/2 year old and 10 month old sons (though the youngest would probably just chew them right now, argh!)
I would love to win this for my daughters. They love animals and would spend hours pretending and making up scenes with their Safari animals.
We use toobs all the time! They are great to learn a lot of things!
I love the safari toobs cuz they make these so realistic and it’s great for both boys and girls.
Wow! THese would be great for discovery boxes in my preschool class! I could use them for matching, counting and for diagramming! Thank you for being generous enough to do this giveaway!
We are just beginning to discover the wonder of Toobs! I love that farm one. The little guy would adore it.
I love toobs! They are wonderful for making object to object matching, object to picture matching and so much more!
I would like to win these because I am starting a mommy and me children’s program. These would come in handy.
My son loves everything about farms and animals. These would make a fantastic addition to our farm baskets!
