Jumbies Review and Giveaway

- January 28, 2011

I first saw Jumbies a couple of weeks ago in an auction to benefit Coupon Mom of 2 (3)'s daughter who was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I thought they were so cute so I showed the kids the pictures of them. Not once or twice but once a day. LOL So when I got received the opportunity to review them, I knew the kids would be so excited!!!!!!!!!!!

In case you don't know what I am talking about here is their story. "There were more babies being born than ever before. The storks had to deliver them from shore to shore. There were baby elephants, bears, dogs, and cats. They had tigers, skunks and even baby bats! You could also find raccoons, deer, mice and whales. There were camels, sharks and dinosaurs with long tails. There were koalas, kangaroos and chimpanzees. The storks had all kinds of fish and even bumblebees! They had to deliver them in the north, south, east and west.

There was so much to do they had little time for rest. They flew to America, Europe, Antarctica and down under. They went to Africa and Asia trying not to blunder. There was not a place on earth where the storks did not fly. Everywhere in the world the storks filled up the sky. They had to move real fast for there was no time to be slow.

It began to get very confusing on where they had to go. Some storks turned left when they should have turned right. Some storks flew all day when they should have flown at night. Other storks flew east when they should have gone west. Everything went wrong even though they were trying their best. Then in began to happen in a flash! One by one they started to CRASH!!!

The storks smashed right into each other. It kept happening one after the other. They crashed in the clouds up in the air. There were stork feathers everywhere! They landed in the water, the trees and in the dirt. It was a miracle that none of the storks were hurt.
Then they quickly went to see if the babies were okay. The babies were fine but the storks did not know what to say. When the storks crashed and tumbled, it appeared all the animal babies were jumbled! The storks could not believe their eyes. These babies were quite a surprise. They still looked very lovable and sweet. But they were very different from their head to their feet.

There were no more zebras or elephants. But they found lots and lots of Zelephants! They looked for giraffes and buffaloes. But the storks only found Giraffaloes! These jumbled babies became a new breed. So they called them JUMBiES the storks agreed." The kids love this story and make me read it to them over and over (and over and over LOL).

Here are the 2 Jumbies we got and some info about them.

I was going to decide who got the Jumbies by which ones we were sent. All the kids had 2-3 that were their favorite. BUT when I opened the box the only kid home was Cody so after he claimed both as his own, I figured that was ok since the big kids were at the movies and he had to stay home with me.

Aren't they so cute?? They are a little bigger then Beanie Babies. But toys that size are a favorite by all my kids. They love to grab 10 and carry them around. Mason calls them his babies.

Since all the kids LOVE Jumbies and we only have 2, I definitely know what the kids will be getting for their upcoming birthdays!! {Blake is 10 in Feb, Jacob is 5 in March, Kayla is 8 in April and Mason is 2 in June.} And at $7.95 I can buy them 2 or 3 and not break the bank!!!

Also on the site you can print out coloring pages and play games. So fun!!!!
