Bunny Hop

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Classic Games
from: Educational Insights

May 15, 2007
As a mother of an active 3.5 year old, I too am always on the look-out for fun, educational games. "Bunny Hop" is definitely one of those games that engages young children, and best of all they are able to play by themselves [once they get the hang of the game]. No reading skills are required here, just a knowledge of colors [here, the colors used are red, green, yellow and blue].

Each player chooses a color, and then rolls the die - depending on which color comes up, the player then chooses the bunny that has the same color [as reflected on the die] and pushes it into the carrot patch. if the bunny hops [some hop, and some don't], then the player gets to keep the bunny. Though the game can have a few variations [and we even came ... Read More:

My son is six and caught on very quick to the game of chess. Makes it very easy to learn and remember which pieces can go where. Love it.

Melissa & Doug Pick-Up Sticks

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Classic Games
from: Melissa & Doug


This is a fun game for all ages, great family game. The sticks are bigger than what we were used to, but that's not a problem. The wood gives it a classic feel, and provides much better play than other products made of cheap plastic (avoid those!). The wood looks kind of old and worn, but I think that's intentional in this product. Product shipped reasonably fast. Overall, great product and excellent price, I'm going to buy several more to give as gifts.

This is my second favorite Gamewright game. I really love Frogjuice, but this game is really excellent. It's pretty easy to learn, but there is enough variety to make it interesting the whole time and for many games. You can tell when a game has been well designed and thought out, and this one definitely has. Definitely recommended.

Melissa & Doug Jacks

Stainless steel jacks and rubber ball in a cute earth-friendly box. I stuck the box in our Christmas tree as a surprise and it looked really cute. Also makes a great gift for a kids' party, being that they seem to have everything these days. Great playground item for your kid. Good for eye-hand coordination and healthy competition. FUN!!!

Mexican Train Game Domino Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Classic Games
from: Puremco


This is a very nice product. My seven year old really enjoys it, too. Each game is different - some are shorter and some can be very long. It involves some strategy, but not in such a way that a kid couldn't figure it out. The quality of the game is good.

The only downside to this product by "America's Domino Maker since 1954" is that it's made in China. :(

Definitely would have been five stars if it was Made in the USA.

There's a Moose in the House

We so enjoy this game! I think it is appropriate for ages 4 and up as it doesn't require reading or a trememdous amount of stategy. The silliness of it all seems to be a big hit with the Kindergarten crowd. I enjoy it myself!
Like many of the Gamewright games, the instructions take a couple of reads but once understood it is really a simple (but fun) game.
Kudos to the artist too!

Carrom Magnetic Travel Chess Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Classic Games
from: Drueke


This is a nice chess set for traveling, as you probably already read it has a cover and strong magnets but what i realized a couple hours after placing all the pieces was that when i removed them (the pieces) it left a mark that i think maybe comes from the adhesive of the magnets (makes the board look dirty), in the end i don't really mind since it i just my traveling set, but i would have loved to be warned . If you do happen to get this board i advise you to wipe the bottom of your pieces other wise every time you do get adhesive on your board and you wipe it off you risk bringing the chess board paint along with it (my board has some spots caused when i removed the adhesive, the black paint came with it. now you can see gold spots.). Either way this is a ... Read More:

I rank Frog Juice among my favorite games ever. It has so much variety built in, and plenty of different options that keep the game interesting. I never get tired of playing it. The rules are not hard to learn, and the game is fun for all ages. Definitely worth buying.
