This may be a really dumb question, but

[jazzielady]

where can I find some small plastic zoo-type animals, preferably sold separately so I can buy only the ones I need?

My dd12 has a project she has to make out of a shoe box showing grasslands of Africa and wants to put animals in it.

Would craft stores sell these? Toy stores? I'm at a loss as to where to even begin to look!

department. You can also find them where they sell the doll house furniture and accessories.

Have fun with the project - my dd's love dioramas

We have a TSC (Tractor Supply Company) line of stores around here that sell really life-like animals too for her project.

Yes those stores but sometime TRU will sell the tubes of animals as well. Or a small family owned type craft store worked too!

Dollar type stores have toys like that as well.

Target used to have them sold separately-it's been a while since I looked. Also, check the "toy" section at the grocery store. Our store has them in a bag for $1. They aren't individual but for a dollar who cares.

Great ideas! Thanks to all!

Party stores have them as well....for goodie bags etc.

Target has them, in the toy section. I know because we have a large collection
they are this brand

I don't know if you have any education store around you, but I've seen them there, too.

Our local zoo has them in the gift shop also..sometimes animals you don't usually see in re.gular stores

Saw them when I went to Target yesterday

I've seen what you are describing at farm supply stores. Guess I didn't look to see where you are, but if you have one close-by I'd suggest calling one and seeing if they have them and what types.

Target used to carry something along those lines too if I remember right.

We have them in the gift shop at the zoo I work at..about a billion different girraffee ones lo l and many others (We have a girraffee feeding station at our zoo so they are popular)

I bought these last year at Walmart for a project my DD12 about africa. Good luck

I found a tube of African Animals in the train area at Hobby Lobby. We found trees there too. She changed the trees a bit to work better with a pair of scissors.

My DD10 had a habitat diorama to make and chose the African savannah.

I see them all the time at Target in the toys section.
