I’m a real lover of Safari TOOBS®, and Safari Ltd. is sponsoring a giveaway of 5 different TOOBS® … Farm, Farm Babies, Down on the Farm, Horses, and Dogs (ARV $60)! These TOOBS are perfect for home or school! The giveaway is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada. The giveaway ends Thursday, June 20, 10:00pm MST.
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!
I love the Bulk Bags of figures. My sons would love playing with all of them!
My sons love Safari LTD. toys! They would be thrilled if we won these!
I love Safari Toobs for use in the classroom. They add such interest to Language and Geography activities!
I would love to win this giveaway because my son loves animals and they would be a great tool for homeschooling.
I’d love to win this giveaway because we’re big fans of Safari Ltd. products and they’d make for endless sensory bin / small world play opportunities! 🙂
I would love to use those for our 1st year homeschooling this fall! Thanks!
They will be a great homeschooling tool.
I love the safari toys, especially the toobs because they are realistic and well-made. I use the safari toys in my classroom to get students interested in a topic and to plan hands-on activities. I teach special education and most of my students are second language learners. Having small realistic representations of the things we are studying helps immensely. I would love to buy all of the safari collections, but there is just not enough money in the budget.
Both my daughters love animals and would love these farm figures.
These Toobs would be such a fun addition to sensory tubs at our house!
My children would enjoy hours of pretend play with these toobs! Thanks for the giveaway…
I would like to win this for my 2 kids. They like to play with a toy barn and it would be great for them to have some extra dogs & horses to play pretend with.
I run a licensed home daycare & preschool program in Clinton, CT and these toys would be such a nice addition for my preschool curriculum. We believe in learning through play and these toys would definitely fit the bill! Please, we’ve NEVER seen these around our area so it’s exciting to have something new.
I also really like the WINGS OF THE WORLD BIRDS (especially the Green-Cheeked Amazon Parrot and the Blue & Gold Macaw)!
My kids adore animals–they would be thrilled if we won these!!
My daughter would LOVE the Bundles of Babies TOOB!
My kiddos would love them! They have so much fun setting up & acting out with little toys!
I have two girls ages 5 and 2 that would adore these!!!!
I’ve got 3 young kids who’d love these TOOBS!
I would like to win it as a birthday/Christmas present for my son….can’t start collecting too early!!
