This is how I surprised my kids with Jumbies. I received a letter with the story of Jumbieland and how Jumbies came to be. You can watch it for yourself here: http://jumbieland.com/. Then I asked my boys if they would like to adopt their own Jumbies. Of course they said "ya!" I had hid them around the living room and told them if they found one they would get to keep it.
My 6 yr old found "Blabbit" who is a jumble of a bluebird and a rabbit.

And my 8 yr old found "Dingbat" who is a jumble of a Dingo and a bat.

They thought they were really cool. The baby got the other one that was hiding which was "Mallit" a jumble of a mallard duck and a rabbit. My kids wanted to go online almost immediately to play the games and see what other JUMBiES were available.
There are more of these little guys. I think a great idea for these would be for Halloween. I try to get my kids a treat that is low cost and NOT sugar. These would be a great alternative. They would also make a unique stocking stuffer.
On the Jumbieland.com website there are activities for the kids too. There are games to play online and coloring pages to print.
Where to buy: You can buy them online on the jumbieland website: http://jumbieland.com/jumbies-store.html
or you can try the store locator on their site to find a store near you: http://jumbieland.com/store-locator.html
