Q: Just out of curiosity, what are the green and blue animals? Blue is most likely a rabbit, but I don't have a great guess for the green. Yellow is the bear, so that's not it.

  • A: Hi, Thank you for taking the time to contact us. The blue animal is a puppy and the green animal is a bear. Best, Your Friends at Melissa & Doug

    Toddler LOVES the animal pins

    We got a set of these as a present, and our daughter (19 months) is obsessed with the pins. She carries them around, arranges them, and chats with them. She doesn't really care about the bowling aspect, but the animal pins are just her favorite toys. I would like feedback, though, on what each of the animals are supposed to be. Four are pretty obvious, but the green and blue are kind of ambiguous. I think it's a mouse and bunny? But I'd really appreciate confirmation on those.

    Let’s go bowling!

    I bought it for my niece. Safe to play in an open space. Started playing as soon as she opened the box. She loves it. The bowling pins/“friends”are adorable.

    tot's bowling set.

    I gave it to my great grandson for his second birthday. He loves the characters. Doesn't quite bowl yet though. He walks up and knocks the characters over with the ball. LOL.

    Beloved Toy

    Well I have not been able to get my daughter to bowl regardless of how she holds the ball. However she loves these bowling pins. She plays with them just like she would play with stuffed toys. She put them to bed tucks them in and enjoys imaginary play. I admittedly gave up on the bowling -we had a handful of decent games. My husband and I rarely ever bowl. Still this is one of our greatest purchases. My daughter turned 3 a few months ago - And she doesn't play with them so much anymore but they were used a lot for a good year. The fact that she does not play with them so much right now is probably because I got set up for finding them on the floor and I kept putting them away. But in hindsight I really do cherish these times where my daughter will care for a little bowling pin w such affection. There's something about the faces that just really speaks to her. They are very cute!

    Not exactly soft and squeezable

    Super cute set and very durable, but definitely not "soft and squeezable" as the package states. If you have a thrower, watch out!
