These are fun to line up and look at. They are not for rough play. The handiwork is very nice.

These are beautiful, but fragile. The head broke off of the rhinoceros when I dropped it on a vinyl floor. I bought this set for an object-object matching exercise. Since they are hand carved, the pieces are similar in size but not exactly the same. Also, the color of the wood varies somewhat from piece to piece. It would qualify as an advanced matching since it is a bit tricky.

I bought these to start teaching my son the names of some exotic animals and for matching exercises. Some of the animals were adorable, and I liked the rustic look of the carved wood figures. Obviously, the price is great, too! Unfortunately, however, some of the animals weren't really recognizable, and thus, not suitable for naming work, so we ended up sending these back.
