Elefun & Friends Make Games Fun for Little Kids!


Maybe you've seen the sale ads for the hottest Christmas toys coming out this season. If you have, you may have noticed two new games for younger kids from Elefun & Friends! We got to try out two games, in particular, and here's what we thought of them:


Giraffalaff Limbo is a cute version of traditional limbo. With just a few minutes to assemble (and batteries, of course), this game is ready to go for all preschoolers. They spin the spinner to figure out how they need to go under the limbo pole (which is adorned by the laughing giraffe). When the music starts, kids can crab walk, crawl, or just scoot under to avoid knocking that mocking giraffe from his place. It's a hoot, and my kids loved the tropical music and the giggles that came from all of the players.

Scatterpillar Scramble is for a bit older children. It features a wiggling caterpillar and some funky music. Kids try to place 8 plastic marbles in the hands of the Caterpillar, but it takes steady hands! This is even a challenge for adults, and is a fun family game night addition for families of various age groups. (Note: These marbles are little! Be sure to keep them away from tiny kids. I recommend playing this game on the ground instead of a table, since marbles will definitely be dropped during play.)

Take your family fun online, with the special code that comes inside each Elefun & Friends game box. By visiting www.elefunandfriends.com, you can get access to a special animated short and play exclusive games. These are games that keep on giving!

Wanna Win? We have one Elefun & Friends gift set (which includes both games) to give away to a lucky reader! To be entered to win, just comment with which game you think you'd enjoy most. You have until November 27th at 11:59 pm CST to get your entries in, and you can enter every day! (Just comment as directed for your first entry, and for each entry after that, type "Today's Entry!")

Giveaways are subject to complete site rules. (Be sure to give us a way to reach you if you win, and remember that we will never use your email or contact info for anything other than to send your prize.) Good luck, and be sure to check out all of our other giveaways!

The Scatterpillar Scramble.

Because I know that there is no way I could do the limbo, I think The Scatterpillar Scramble would be the safe way to go.

Right now I think Giraffalaff Limbo would be the most fun in our house. I could see my two little nephews getting a little frustrated with Scaterpillar Scramble. But in another year or so, as the subtlety of their motor skills increases, I think they will have lots of fun with Scaterpillar too. Thank you for the chance to win.
