Frogs and Turtles Toob

I have read wonderful things about Toobs on many other blogs, and I decided on a turtle (pond) theme for Xander's birthday, so I decided to get him a Frogs and Turtles Toob.  I was very happy with the quality and detail when I opened it up, but goodness did Xander surprise me!  He LOVED it.  The first day I gave it to him, he did everything and crawled everywhere with either a frog or turtle in his hand.  Since he enjoyed it so much, I laminated two cards for him labeled "frogs" and "turtles."  For now I am just using them to teach him the words and separate the little figures for him.  Eventually, I would like him to separate them himself.

I also snapped some pictures of his little figures.  I had them printed on 4x6 photo paper and am happy with the results.  The little figures fit pretty well on them.  I plan to use them a bit like a puzzle or sorting activity.  If you have the Frogs and Turtles Toob and would like a copy of the photos, I uploaded them to my downloads page.  Feel free to have them printed.
