• Includes: Noah, his wife, two giraffes, toucans, lions and zebras. a food basket and a tool box

• Folds for storage too!

• Ark rolls along in a wave-like motion!

• Up the deck go the animals, two by two! Feed Noah's animals.

• Drop-through door takes animals down below.

They LOVE this toy. The animals are just right for picking up. They love to show me the animals and have me name them, and are even starting to get the right one if I say, "Where's the panda?" or whatever. It's a toy that they go to time and again throughout the day. They have even figured out how to open the ark and they like putting the animals in and taking them out.

I love that I know it will last for a long time, because as they get older, they will be able to play "imagination" games with it.

The details are amazing, too. The animal pairs are easily identifiable as girls and boys - all the girls have blush and pink ears, while the boys don't, as another reviewer mentioned. Noah and his wife (in our house, her name is Betty) are built so that if you stand them next to each other, they hold hands. It is just too cute! It is this kind of extra detail that shows to me how much thought Fisher-Price puts into their toys.

I did buy one of the extra animal sets and plan to purchase the other one today. There is certainly room for storage of all the animals inside the ark.

This is a wonderful toy!

Role Play!!!  May 03, 2004 By A. Flynn "amrob"
I am always on the look out for toys that allow role play for the children, not toys that think for them or take the fun out playing with them at all. I just love the little people toys. Why? Because not only does my 6 year old daughter continue to enjoy these particular toys (plays with them everyday) but they allow role play and they can be matched up with the other accessories very easily. They are also safe for when my older baby starts walking and begins to get into everything in the house. The only downfall to this noahs ark is that there are only three pegs to hold the people or animals on. In storage or when not in use, the other animals (or noah and his old lady) have to be loosely tossed inside of the ark, which has multiple large windows. Otherwise, it is very colorful, and the sex of the animals (girl/boy) are easy to tell unless the toys get faded in the sun ((the girls cheeks are rosy)). My daughter may never outgrow these cute people and their "sets". A very wise purchase and definitely not the last for the little people.

Cute & Durable  Dec 01, 2005 By Tosa Mom "M Mc"
We registered for this set when I was expecting and were so glad to have it to pull out of the closet when our daughter was about 9 months old. She's coming up on her second birthday and we're still so pleased with this toy. The animals are very cute - they come in pairs of course, but the female animals have a little pink blush on their cheeks and sometimes some other distinguishing characteristic to set them apart from the males. We have fun lining the animals up two by two and seeing how far across the room the line stretches. (We also have the 2 supplemental animal sets.) The Ark has fun details on/in it like a check list of the animals and a photo of Noah and his wife. The different configurations for the ark make it a more versatile toy. It also can store all of the pieces in one place. The whole set is very durable as proven by my daughter's occasional rough handling of it. Definitely recommended!

Skip fancy electronics!  Jul 08, 2004 By melanie
My son turned one and we wanted to get him a special toy from his grampa. We started with the Leap Start Musical table and found that even though he loved it, the sensor went out after two days! I took it back and got the Little Touch Leap Pad which he was also interested in but when he couldn't press the sensors (not even I could do it very easily) he became disinterested.

Finally I read some more reviews and got him this much cheaper Noah's Ark set. He LOVED it!! He couldn't even wait for me to take it out of the package he was so excited!! Right now he loves to move the pieces around and put them in and out. He even notices if one of the animals is missing and gets it from across the room!

I am beginning to realize that all the lights and whistles of these new 'educational' toys may not be the best at stimulating young minds. Toys like 'Little People' seem to stimulate creativity and don't have any bounds to where their minds can take them on their learning adventure.

Who would have thought that sticking to the simple toys would bring so much excitement to a little todler!

I highly recommend this and any Little People toys!

Noah's Ark - Cute Toy!!!  Dec 04, 2005 By Mike Brose
I bought this for my son on his first birthday. He is now almost 2 years old and continues to play with it daily. The ark is very sturdy and opens and closes pretty easily. The animals are also made very well. This toy also encourages imagination and free play, which I think is very important. Overall this toy is very cute and I'd definately recommend it. The only disappointment was that I felt a need to purchase more animals to make the toy more complete.
