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!
My son would love these!
These sets are so enriching, and would be perfect for my niece’s two little girls to play and learn!
I LOVE the historical collections! 😉 This would be wonderful to have for a historical theme study.
Oooohh! I love Toobs! I use them all the time in my classroom and at home with my kids. I would love to have some of the farm toobs so my kids can create a farm for their Montessori Grammar activities! So fun!
I would love to win this for my nephews who have a great time playing with it!
We have a couple of the animal Toobs( fave is turtles and frogs) and I think my son would love the farm animals.
My son loves Toobs, and we don’t have any of these.
The little girl I baby-sit would LOVE to have these!
I love the life-cycle products I think they are a beautiful manipulative that I hope to some day have in my school room 🙂
My son and I LOVE Safari Toobs!! We are begining homeschool in the fall and this would be so fun to add to our curriculum. So many things you could do with these!! Thanks for the giveaway:-)
I also love the Maiasaura with Nest from the Dinosaur collection!
Hi! What a great give away! I would like to win because I have recently become a part of a preschool/child care center that provides care for mostly low income children. We are working hard to give these children a strong start and help prepare them for kindergarten regardless of their background. We have a great bunch of kids and teachers who would be very excited to have these toons as part of their classrooms and I know that with your printables, we would have so much fun and bring a new level of learning to our school
I teach at a very small school for kids with learning differences. Hands on is how my kids learn best. These would make a nice addition to the Toobs we already have!
My daughter is a animal lover thank you,
We have some of these types of toys and my little ones love them!
Great Dino’s would be a great collection for my son that loves sand and Dino’s.
My son could play with these for hours, he is interested in animals and could learn lots with these.
I like the North American Wild Life and Venomous Creatures Toobs.
We’ve been collecting good toys since my first grand-daughter was born. This would be a wonderful addition to the collection for my youngest grand.
My daughter would love those – she already has a North American Wildlife set, and she loves it.
