Max and Ruby, the adventurous rabbits preschoolers adore, didn’t start out on the big screen. The pair originated in children’s books written by Rosemary Wells. However, the story captured the attention of television networks and debuted in 2001 with a pilot episode. Preschoolers loved the story of Max, a rambunctious 3-year rabbit, and his older sister Ruby, a 7-year old bunny. The characters won a permanent spot on NickJr, and filmed their fourth season in 2009.

During the story, older sister Ruby typically takes on a new activity, and she involves younger brother Max (whether he likes it or not). The show focuses on building relationships between siblings.

Max and Ruby Toys

Plush toys are a great way to encourage dramatic play. Check out the Max plush doll, which is fun for playtime (and soft and cuddly for nighttime). Do you have a preschooler who loves big sister Ruby (perhaps she’s a big sister herself?). Check out the Ruby doll. Preschoolers can take their Max Ruby characters on a fun imaginary adventure.

Max & Ruby Dolls

Another fun way to encourage learning through play is Max and Ruby Puzzles. The Max and Ruby 24 piece puzzle helps preschoolers create fun images such as Max and Ruby play soccer, exploring the park or playing with a train set. These fun puzzles develop problem solving and tactile skills.
