Cheap Learning Resources Froggy Feeding Frenzy

Customer Ratings:

My son had a blast with this game and little did he know that he was also learning some important skills while he was playing. This game offers a wide range of skill-building ways to play including: color recognition, counting, and fine-motor skills.

In addition to the wonderful skills that this game teaches children, I was pleased that this was the first structured game that was at my son's young comprehension level. Normally games and toys for his age are geared at `free for all type playing' without structure, but this game taught him about following the directions in order to fully enjoy the game

My son has always been really into frogs and so when I saw the Froggy Feeding Fun game from Learning Resources, I knew he would love it!

The game includes two frogs, 60 flies & 2 cubes that you roll to determine which flies to munchone for how many & one for which color. It's great for practicing numbers & counting as well as colors! Then once you roll the cube, the fun beginsyou squeeze the frog to open his mouth & get him to eat the flies!

The game is for ages 3-7, but at age 3, my son actually struggles with getting the frogs to open their mouths. At first I thought it was a motor skills thing, which is a huge thing that this game helps with, but then I realized that his hands are just too small still to reach as far as they need to in order to squeeze the mouth open. You would think that means that my son wouldn't play the game much if at all, but he actually plays it all the time! He just plays differently.

When we first got the set, he asked me to make the frogs some lily pads for them to sit on. He played with them just as normal frog toys for weeksand he played with them every day! Then he moved on to playing with the flies, which he fed to all of his toys for awhile. Now he does both, and even though he still can't quite get the frogs to open their mouths, he's been trying to play the intended way lately! We roll the cubes, he identifies the number & color, and we count out that number of flies. Even though he can't get the frog to open up, he either just rolls the cubes again or asks me to hold the frog's mouth open for him so that he can insert the flies.

The fact that my son loves this game despite not being able to properly play it shows me just how much fun he'll have it when he can play with it! I know that we'll be playing with it for years to come.
