The giraffe has a long neck that can be decorated and the kid learns to button and unbutton three colorful bows. The lion hides in the grass, it’s two-dimensional and the toddler can put a finger in it to play. The elephant moves its head; the kid learns to pass by helping him catch the balloon’s string. The hippo opens its mouth and can be fed on leaves, they move along the strings. The ostrich is designed as a puzzle, the toddler can arrange it. The monkey is 3D, has a den, and eats a banana. No buttons are used to make the cube safe even for the youngest children.
