Elefun and Friends *giveaway*

My daughters, especially my 4 year old, love games! For the longest time my daughter was begging for Elefun, every couple weeks it would come up somehow that she wanted it. When my dad was here last month she finally got it...what can I say, he's a sucker for his grandkids. Around the same time MyBlogSpark contacted me asking if I wanted to let my daughters enjoy two more games from the Elefun and Friends line. After seeing how much fun they were having with Elefun I was excited to let them try out these other selections.

The one we liked the most is Scatterpillar Scramble. It's definitely for children 4 and older. My 4 year old loved it and wanted to play it again and again. My 2 year old wanted to join in and seemed to have fun, although she failed at it miserably, but with help from mommy she didn't seem to care. She was just happy to be included. The object is to get little marble like balls from their tray and onto the "scatterpillar's" hands with the help of a little pair of tongs. The twist is the "scatterpillar" is dancing around to upbeat music the whole time.

Now, just because Scatterpillar Scramble was our favorite, that doesn't mean Giraffalaff Limbo wasn't fun. This game can be described pretty well by the name. It's a giraffe themed limbo game that leads to lots of laughs as children spin to see what kind of move they're supposed to do as they limbo under the giraffe, but watch out, if the giraffe falls you're out! No worries though, this is an encouraging giraffe and he'll encourage preschoolers along as they try to be the one who can go the lowest (Or so I've heard, we actually didn't have the right size batteries for this one and didn't get to experience it with sound...yet) . Both my girls had fun with this game. My only complaint is I found it hard to disassemble to put back in the box, so we've had to leave it put together making it harder to keep away from well meaning kids (i.e. my 2 year old) who can ruin it.
