Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo Review

ABOUT:

The Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo is a detailed, interactive playset featuring animal recognition technology that brings animals to life in a fun, unique way!  Place any Little People Zoo Talkers animal on the peg at the hut and it recognizes that specific animal and responds with that animal’s name and corresponding sound!  Playset incorporates four habitats (Grasslands, North and South Poles, Jungle, Water) with fun activities on both sides and room for multiple children to play at once!

Some of the activities:

• Pass through cave and lion’s perch
• Squeaking sound effects with winding waterslide
• Hippo’s mouth opens and closes
• Swinging and Spinning treetop that clicks
• Peek-a-Boo door
• Musical “ditties” about each habitat

Includes:

• Lion ,polar bear, gorilla  and Zookeeper Zack figures
• Built-in handle for portability

MY THOUGHTS:

My boys love the zoo and with this set they really feel like they have a piece of the zoo at home! This set is first off much bigger than I expected from the box, but then not too big its obnoxious.  It is about two feet by two feet and has a nice carrying handle to take it room to room or easily turn it around to play with it on the flip side.  Once I opened the box I was worried it was going to be a project to put together but it pretty much all snaps together except for three screws.  I had it together in about ten minutes, and I did have to install three batteries, which were not included.

The Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo is for ages 1 ½ to 5 years old, and my 3 and 4-year-old sons love it.  There is so much to do, both front and back that my boys didn’t feel crowded with both of them playing.  The set makes so many different noises, not including the music or speech about the animals.  There are squeaks, twist noises, clicks and more.  My boys are just so excited each time they play with it to make as much noise as they can!  There is a slide, swing, twisting leaf, peek-a-boo door and little spots to put the animals.

The only thing I was disappointed with was that the set only comes with three animals and a zookeeper.  It is enough for two-three kids to play with but I would like to have more animals.  Luckily, there is a total of nine other animals you can purchase to play with in the set that I am sure I will be adding to ours.

Overall, the playset is very colorful, bright and is a great size.  I was impressed with all the sounds and interactions you can make and my boys love it.  They played with it for a good hour right when we set it up and then played with it again a few more times throughout the day and since then.  They even found other random animals and figurines to play with and even put their cars on the waterslide!  As far as educational aspects go, I like that my boys can see how the different animals live (North and South Poles, Jungle, and Water regions.)  I would recommend this playset for any child and it will definitely grow with your child as it is fun for all ages!
