To say Raegan has a lot of toys would be an understatement. I can’t pass up a good deal on toys, so I’ve picked them up by the trash bag at the local thrift store when they have a toy sale. I’m always on the lookout for educational toys as well, so when I was given the chance to review the Animal Crack-Up Smart Snack toy from Learning Resources, I couldn’t resist. I knew I could offer my opinion on the product, but the real test would be how well Raegan liked it.
She was very excited when I showed her the box and couldn’t wait for me to open the box. One of the reasons I liked this product was that each animal is a puzzle. There is just two pieces, so it’s easy to put together. I had been wanting to get Raegan more puzzles to help develop motor skills and coordination.
The set contains 10 animal puzzles and a cute cardboard animal cracker box to store the pieces in when they are not being played with. Each animal has a different colored back, so you can either solve the puzzle by finding the front and back of the animal or finding two pieces of the same color. Or kids can get creative and put together part of a pig with a horse or any other combination their imaginations can conjure.
Raegan really enjoyed playing with them, and I was impressed with the sturdiness of the animal puzzle pieces. I was also happy to see that the pieces came with their own storage container in the form of an adorable animal cracker box. Overall it’s a fun toy that will help her learn colors, have creative play time, and develop motor skills.
