A great way to teach about animals, this Noah's Ark is a virtual menagerie, with 12 pairs of creatures from birds to giraffes to alligators. The ark itself has a removable roof for easy access, and the gangway can be opened to load everybody up. Three portholes and an upper deck let the animals, Noah and Mrs. Noah enjoy the view. Best of all? It's made from environmentally friendly rubberwood that's safe, sturdy, and nontoxic.
