My late brother, JR, gifted a handmade Noah’s Ark toy to my younger child when they were about 2 years old, and it was well-played with. They are now 34 and still treasure it.
I remember elephant, cheetah, lion, snake, giraffe, camel, dove, and I think there was a deer. A few others occasionally such as a spiky hedgehog, some kitteny things. Then there was always Mr and Mrs Noah. I’m sure there were more that I’ve forgotten. I seem to remember there being 12 pairs of figures altogether.
