Jumbies Review and Giveaway--CLOSED

For once, I found out about a new toy before my kids did.  I heard about  JUMBiES  and thought they were very unique.  What are JUMBiES?  Well, they're the newest collectable little stuffed animals.

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
