Hungry Hungry Hippos

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Childrens Themed Card Decks
from: Hasbro


This is a game I often get kids for birthday gifts. The parents are just excited about it as the kids, as they often had it themselves. It's not educational, but so much fun. Especially popular with active boys who may not always like traditional sit-down games.

I loved this book as a child and now my daughter loves it too. This is a great way to experience the book in other ways, and to show you (as a parent) how to teach certain aspects of the book.

Cranium Cariboo - A Magical Treasure Hunt Game

My kids both loved this game and will play around with it independently or with someone else. I really like that it has multiple levels so it can grow with them. I believe my son received it for his 3rd birthday. My almost 4 year old now plays with it though my almost 7 year old hasn't been interested in a while (though he's not a game kid). I have bought it for birthday presents because my kids enjoyed it so much. I love Cranium!

We really like this game. It's so much fun when the bed bounces up and the monkey's fall off! So far it has worked like it should. It's one of our faves!

Skyrail Marble Run Roller Coaster 150-pc. Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Childrens Themed Card Decks
from: International PlayThings


I selected this item after reading reviews of this and other toys. I purchased just the 150 pc set last month for my 3 1/2 year old grandson. At first I was overwhelmed because the 150 pc set is very limited on how you can set it up. I reccommend that you PURCHASE THE LARGER SET with more pieces. I will be reordering the bigger one to give more options for set up. So I am very happy. NOTE: I found you really need to plan out how you want to set it up in advance on paper. Otherwise, it's trial and error. ALSO, because of the limited options for the smaller set, it slips on the shiny floor and won't stand up... so either put pieces of carpet or grip rubber under each tower or just build it on carpet. PLUS, we had to put various books under the set in places ... Read More:

Sum Swamp Addition and Subtraction Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Childrens Themed Card Decks
from: Learning Resources

June 12, 2006
This is a great game for preschool thru 1st grade. I have a 4 and a 6 year old. The 4 year old now understand how to add and subtract. I give her pennies to help her count and figure out the answer herself. It's a fairly easy game for the 6 year old because you only add and subtract numbers up to 6. I've thought about getting some 12 sided dice to make it more challenging, however, the board doesn't have that many spaces, so it might make for a very short game. All in all, I'm very satisfied with this game. The kids love to play it.

Rat-a-Tat Cat Collectible Tin

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Childrens Themed Card Decks
from: Gamewright

I gave this to my 5 year old daughter last year for Christmas and it ended up being a family favorite. My 8 year old and the grandparents also enjoy playing this game. Plus you can decrease the difficulty level when playing with younger children which is a nice feature. The Collectible tin version has the Super Peek cards and the "cat vision" decoder which the kids love. Our decoder has gotten pretty beat up so a sturdier visor would be nice. The kids prefer this version over the regular version because of the visor. Also I like the tin that it comes in.

University Games Brown Bear-Panda Bear, What Do You See? Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Childrens Themed Card Decks
from: University Games

June 01, 2007
What I like about this game is that if your child is too young to fully understand how to play by the rules, or if they just don't want to, you can use the game pieces to play Memory. Each animal comes in a pair, so you can lay them all face down and find its match. My daughter likes to pull the pieces out of the box one at a time and place it over its picture on the board until all the pieces are gone, so it can be a solitary game as well.

It's even more fun for them when they recognize the animals from the Eric Carle books. Would make a great gift, especially when paired with one or more of the books on which this game was based.

The game pieces themselves are quite sturdy, which is nice when playing with the age group this game is intended for, ... Read More:
