Magical Menagerie: 20 Punch-Out Animals for Play and Display

These are the bomb. As a high school teacher, I use these as birthday cards for my kids- even 11th graders get a kick out of assembling them to the tune of "Happy Birthday"- great value, well constructed, and I can always find an animal that suits the recipient's personality.Great find and I will continue to buy them. I have won a lot of recalcitrant teen hearts - one 16 year old fb player brought his hippo to class every day at a good luck talisman.

These sturdy, heavy punch out colorful patterened pieces can be assembled with very little adult supervision, and they are really art. Children as young as four can assemble with only a little help from an adult. I used this set as an activity for young guests at a baby shower, and it was a big hit. I let the guests take their assembled creations home as favors - and bought another set right away because these are just too fun and cool to let go out of print and be unobtainable.

I ordered 2 of these, one for my 4 year old and one for his friend's birthday. It quickly became a family activity in our home. I was disappointed with the print quality. There are some pieces that have white markings, hence the 4 stars. I considered returning them, but figured 4 year olds won't be delicate with them. I could see using these as party activities for kids or even in a school environment. They are great for adults as well. They come with nice envelopes for storing or mailing, a nice touch.

This is a very quality item. A great gift that kids thoroughly enjoy.These animals are easy to put together for children as young as four years old, and I've seen children as old as 8 enjoy them as well. No glue, staples or scissors. Each comes with its own envelope so I bought a box to use as birthday cards.I recommend this product. You, and the child who receives this gift, won't be disappointed.

I bought these as a gift to myself and have been enjoying them ever since. The figures are made out of good materials, they are very sturdy and charming. The envelopes are also great as they show how the creature should look and are perfect for sending in the mail. Recommended and I can't wait to see what else this artist does!

These cards make great kid birthday cards. this year at christmas dinner I used them as place cards for family members. My son has several in his room for decorations. We love them! the colors and patterns are awesome, and animals have great character.

This is great for 3+. We love to give this as birthday presents--it's unique, not too big, and the animals can be assembled and taken apart for storage (good for apartment living)--and reassembled. Fun and aesthetically pleasing, too, for parents. Each animal card (you punch the different parts out of the card) comes with an accompanying envelope for storage and/or mailing.

These put-together animals for small children are a total delight! They come with an envelope for each and can be used for any occasion. They are sturdy, of terrific design, colorful and imaginative! Cannot recommend highly enough! Very artistic!

A wonderful collection of cards from which you pop out sections to slot together to create each animal. Beautiful designs on each one. Colourful and cleverly done. My three year old daughter loves them. Also included is a pretty envelope for each animal so you could send them, flattened, to people. Highly recommend.

We have received this as a gift, and we have now also given it several times since! It is lovely, well made, easy to assemble, and when they are finished, they look really nice on display. Love that there are individual envelopes for each animal that help you keep pieces together, and you can also send to a friend! Brilliant product. Perfect for boy or girl 5-9 yrs old.

My grandson has been making these punch-out animals since he was 4 and he is now over 4 years and 8 months old. He has only got 3 more to make and is still enjoying it. One of the best toys!

My 5 year old great niece loved making these (she probably had some help) and the envelopes came in very handy for storing them.

Saw these in a museum shop and bought them for our grandchild. They look quite sturdy and hopefully she will enjoy playing with them.
