Giraffalaff Limbo and Scatterpillar Scramble Review and Giveaway (Closed)

elefun

So in today’s world kids are inundated by ads or commercials encouraging them to watch cartoon marathons, play a new addictive video game for 27 hours straight, or heck…..even join a virtual world!  I am not against all of those, but I do try and make it a point to play REAL tangible games from time to time.  Theres nothing like sitting down next to a real person and having a friendly competition with a friend or family member.  I grew up playing board games and have such good memories playing them with my family.

It made “game night” even easier when Hasbro and MyBlogSpark sent me Giraffalaff Limbo and Scatterpillar Scramble.  These two games had my kids cracking up.  My oldest who is 6 wanted to make sure that she did everything in her power to show her little brothers that she was a professional gamer.  My middle child thought that the moves of the Scatterpillar were funny yet annoying and wanted it to stay still so he could win. He also  put all of those super-hero acrobatics to the test on Giraffalaff Limbo.  My youngest thought that if he concentrated enough he could figure it all out and take all the glory for himself!  They may all play differently, but the one thing I see in their little eyes is the same thing my parents and grandparent saw in my eyes when I was their age, complete immersion and love of these types of games.

Scatterpillar Scramble

More About the Games

  • GIRAFFALAFF LIMBO is the crazy new game of “how low can you go?” Spin the dial to try one of the 6 limbo styles: classic limbo, crab walk, crawl, giraffe walk, bend forward or backward. The game’s built-in sound will play an encouraging song as preschoolers try not to bump into Giraffalaff. If he’s knocked over, he’ll roll on the floor in laughter. The player that passes under Giraffalaff at the lowest level wins.
  • In SCATTERPILLAR SCRAMBLE kids will do their best to balance marbles in the hands of one very wiggly caterpillar. Kids will have fun dancing along to the music with Scatterpillar in this fast-paced marble game. The first player to securely place all 8 marbles in Scatterpillar’s hands wins. SCATTERPILLAR SCRAMBLE was named the 2009 Preschool Game of the Year by Creative Child Magazine.

      We take the couch cushions off and build a pillow mountain in the living room. We play king/queen of the mountain. It usually ends when mom’s anxiety of the kids falling on their necks overwhelms her.

      I’ve also started teaching my daughter magic tricks. She can make a quarter go thru a table and make one of her legs vanish behind a blanket…

      Aline on November 1st, 2009 6:41 pm

      We play a game called Monkey in the Middle with this really rubbery, bouncy ball my daughter got at a fair. Three people play and the person in the middle tries to catch the ball as the other 2 people play it. The person in the middle acts like a monkey. The 3 people that usually play are my husband, myself, and my 5 year old daughter. My husband is a hoot when he is the monkey. It’s a very silly game, but my daughter loves it because she gets to see her parents act like monkeys.
