Educators Kit
Gibson Gorilla
The components are:
-
- Gibson, a plush gorilla (320mm tall)
-
- Gibson’s treehouse box – for storage and where he lives in the classroom
-
- Gibson’s glossy Appointment Calendar backing board
Gibson’s Appointment Calendar is an essential part of the Gibson Gorilla Kit when he is going to be having sleepovers! The reusable glossy Calendar backing board is very strong and beautifully designed to delight children with jungle characters and trees. It can stand next to Gibson's house or hang on the wall nearby. Each year there will be a Calendar insert available on this website for the following year. The insert feeds through a slot in the backing board – then each month’s page can be passed through but is always available as a record of who has taken Gibson home through the year. (This is essential for fairness of sharing Gibson for sleepovers!)
- Gibson's yearly insert Calendar (a downloadable file).
This insert calendar is a downloadable file which will be emailed to you on payment - for your convenience you can print out the whole calendar or only the months left in the calendar year*.
