Is it the hand carved wooden one you got? If so I got it too and it's delightful, and an absolute bargain!!!

thats the one. Its fantastic isnt it. DD2 is totally wrapped in it at the minute :D

I was going to put it in a story sack but its too big in the box :laughing: Will definately be sewing a sack up to go with it though :thumbsup:

ETA; the base is approx 18"x12"

Thanks, it looks smaller than that. I think I'll get it then.

It will go fantastically with my book called "The 3 Snow Bears". Goldilocks and the 3 bears, but an inuit and 3 polar bears :)

wow that looks fab! if only I'd found it before I placed an order a couple of weeks ago! ah well will have to buy something else too to justify the extra postage!

Thats good to hear, I ordered it last night, wasn't sure how big it was going to be but thought would take a gamble, I ordered some toy food sandwich type stuff as well!

Cant wait now, more excited than the kids!

I have just tried searching again and i think it may have sold out as it isn't showing under product name or description or number

I received ours today.... the children are charmed by it! The killer whale keeps eating all the seals though so there will be none left soon!!

I also bought the red wooden train with big open carriages.... it is totally brill and the children loved that too.... soooo versatile and worth the money!

jumpinjen- can you confirm how many figures are in yours? DD2 got to it before I could check what went with it and I want to make sure it all stays together. I suspect an inuit has already gone off exploring :laughing:

Cant see it on a pic now its not on the website.

I hope I ordered mine just in time as it has come up on the email confirmation. I dithered about it last week, ordered some dressing up clothes (which are great too:thumbsup: ) and have now gone for this. Could have saved more on postage - never mind, a bargain price.

Arrived so quickly compared to the original 'educational companies' own sites when there's a sale.:rolleyes:

I will be watching out in future for more bargains :D

think they must send slightly different figures as I got the 4 inuits, 2 polar bears, 2 sealions (?), a reindeer, a wolf (?) and 3 penguins?!?!

francinejayne
21-01-2010, 08:03 PM
and a killer whale too!

jumpinjen
21-01-2010, 08:04 PM
Hmmmm..... one of the seals could possibly be a wolf, i didn't look VERY closely, and haven't been able to get a look in all day!!!

Did get three penguins! Didn't mention them though as they have all been eaten by the killer whale!! Ofsted will be wondering if we are all in cahoots, they will see this everywhere they go!!!!

I googled the set and one which has sold on ebay said it was an arctic fox! Almost a wolf :laughing:

£4.95 postage and prices are shown without VAT so need to add that.

Some good offers on the site even if the igloo has sold out. Fast turnaround too - less than a week:thumbsup:

I think if you got the email confirmation of order you should be fine, mine arrived today and it is lovely!

Also got the snack food set, good quality and value for money.

What honestly???? I have to say that it is lovely but not £57 worth of lovely!!! However yes, i do feel smug!!!! But only because for once I bought something on the spot instead of 'thinking about it' and missing out!!!!!
