Elefun and Friends Games Review and Giveaway

CLOSED, check here for current giveaways


The Review:


Myblogspark recently sent me two new Elefun and Friends Games to try out: Giraffalaff Limbo and Scatterpillar Scramble.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to try out Giraffalaff Limbo. My 22 month old boy fractured his ankle before we got a chance to:( The basic concept of the game is limbo with a silly twist.

We did play Scatterpillar Scramble. I think this game would be helpful in developing hand eye coordination. I won when playing my 6 year old, 22 month old(he was just sorting the colored balls), and my own mother. I'm pretty sure all the coupon clipping is what gave me the edge;) My daughter did find the game challenging at first, but once she really focused she was able to get all of her marbles into the crazy caterpillars hands. The game did not take long to play. If you only have short amounts of time to sit down and play with the kids before getting back to chores and errands, this game would be a good choice.

Both games are geared toward preschoolers age 4 years and up.

The Giveaway:

Myblogspark also has a second set of these games for me to giveaway to one lucky reader!

My favorite game was and still is Boggle. I would even sit and play it by myself when everyone else was sick and tired of playing.

I was just talking about this today as my sister and I walked down the Toys R US aisle. I was always trying to talk her into playing mall madness- man I wish I kept that.
