JUMBiES Review and Giveaway (Now Closed)

Have you heard of JUMBiES yet? Well they’re the cutest little stuffed animals, along the same line as beanie babies except I have to admit that JUMBiES are much cuter! They’re not just your ordinary every day stuffed animals, they’ve been all jumbled up, hence the name JUMBiES! You’ll find a cross between a pig and a rabbit, a cow and a moose and even a seal and a lion. There have been 12 different JUMBiES discovered so far in JUMBiELAND!

The story of the JUMBiES beginnings is something you can have a fun time sharing with your kids. I haven’t included the full story because I don’t like to spoil the fun but you can read a bit of it below and then enter to win your very own!

How JUMBiES Came To Be

There were more babies being born than ever before.

The storks had to deliver them from shore to shore.

Some storks turned east when they should have turned west.

Everything went wrong even though they were trying their best

Then it began to happen in a flash

One by one they started to crash

Every stork crashed and tumbled

All the baby animals were jumbled!

There were no zebras or elephants around.

But they found lots and lots of Zelephants all around!

The storks could not believe their eyes!

These JUMBiES were quite a surprise!

The JUMBiES have their own little website called jumbieland where you’ll find the story of how they became jumbled, pictures and stories of each character with their likes/dislikes, coloring pages you can download, games to play, and of course a JUMBiES store where you can purchase these little guys for as little as $7.95 a piece.

We were lucky enough to receive 2 of these adorable little critters. Arthur and Corky. Arthur is a mix between a Camel and an Oscelot and he likes “water water and water – but not going in the water”. Corky is a mix between a Pig and a Rabbit and his likes include mud, carrots, scraps and hopping around town. Here they are hanging around our place during a rare moment of peace and quiet.

My toddler can’t quite understand the story behind JUMBiES just yet because to him all creatures are so new that he doesn’t realize that it’s not normal for a bunny and a pig to be jumbled together. I am positive he will eventually ask because he is super inquisitive and when he does I’ll be prepared with the story of how the JUMBiES came to be. I know he’ll find it just as amusing as I did.
