Funrise National Geographic Kids Giveaway

 Funrise has teamed up with National Geographic Kids toy line. Introducing the Nat Geo Wild Rides collection with the “All Adventure Vehicle” and “Elephant Ride." We had the chance to try out the Elephant Ride. My boys adored the make believe play with these fun Safari friends and the cool part is the binoculars are use able. It's been so much fun hearing my 2 year old making monkey sounds.
Wild Rides Elephant Adventure canopy that folds out into a slide. I had the hardest time turning it into a slide but, my husband used the screwdriver and adjusted the yellow pack on the back and it worked out. The cute monkey spins down the vine. Eelephant has a movable spring loaded trunk, movable ears, legs. animal figures can be purchased separate and includes a National Geographic Fun Fact sticker card with amazing animal facts.

Thanks to Funrise someone will win their very own Wild Rides Elephant Adventure. Make sure to check out Funrise on facebook to check up to date.
