For the past 6 weeks my children have been going through retail store catalogs & sales flyers making a list of the items they would like for Christmas this year. It helps to get them excited for the holidays and it helps to make Santa’s job much easier. Like most parents, I try to give them the items that they really want from their list.

My son is 4 years old and he’s all about boats, sharks, construction vehicles and fire trucks this year. One of the toys at the top of his list was the Animal Planet Shark Research Boat which includes 3 sharks! The play set is for children ages 3 years and up.
Included in the Set:
Research Boat
1 Diving Cage
3 Sharks
1 Boat Driver Figure
1 Deep Sea Diver Figure
13 Small Accessories
Batteries Included
The Research Boat is a really nice size and the batteries come already installed. There are 3 push buttons on top of the boat so that kids can press them to make the lights flash and the emergency sounds go off. Super easy to operate.
Included in the set are 3 different sized sharks that look really realistic. I believe two of them are Great Whites, not sure about the third. The action figures have movable arms and legs, so they can be posed when playing with them. The diving cage opens and closes, so you can put your scuba diver inside it and keep him safe.
There are 13 small accessories: flashlight, hat, camera, binoculars, under-water flashlight, and other fishing-style type of gear. Sorry, I don’t fish so I’m unsure of all of the names of the gear. With that said, having the accessory pack helps to add to the creative play experience for the child.
What a fun set! Your little one can play with it on the floor, outside in the dirt or put it into the bathtub. They can mix-n-match it with other Animal Planet toys that they already own. It’s well-made and I really like that its on the “larger” size which makes it even more fun to play with.

This set does look realistic. I am sure that kids would love to play with it.
That looks so cute and could be an educational toy too. My nephew is all into sharks and shark shows now. I think he would like this too. Thank you for the review.
What a fun toy! I wish I had a youngster who would like it.
