    Best game for toddlers!
    I bought this for my daughter's 3rd birthday and we have played it so many times in the past couple of days. She loves it! This has so many different things that were so well thought out. The squirrel develops hand strength with the kids having to squeeze to pick up an acorn. It also works on matching once they pick up the correct colored acorn they must match it in their log. The game is perfect for her first game.

    My seven year old granddaughter saw this game I got for her younger sister and she was so excited. She said they had this game in her classroom and it was her favorite. I like the very simple rules and my three year old likes the little colorful acorns. She doesn’t understand the rules so we just let her match the acorns to the appropriate color in the little log. The little squirrel to pick up the acorns is a little awkward, but not overly difficult for my five year old grandson. He does have to work at it a little, but he insists on using it every time. I think the pieces are well-made and the five year old and seven year old grandchildren really love playing the game, the three year old doesn’t grasp the concept of the game as well but as I mentioned earlier, she does like matching up the colors so she gets fun out of it as well. I think it was money well spent..

    5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT first board game for preschoolers! Fun for adults too
    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    We purchased this game a couple months ago for my 3.5 year old son as his first official board game, and he loves it! I honestly don't mind playing it with him either, and it's even more fun when we get Dad to play, too. I'd love to implement weekly "Family Game Night", and I think this is a great educational game to get the kiddos involved!

    Synopsis of the game:
    Each player gets a cardboard "tree trunk" that has 5 little holes in it that have a color surrounding the hole. The object of the game is to get one of each color acorn to fill your tree trunk. Players take turns spinning a wheel that has 5 different colors. You can also land on some other interesting spots on the wheel :
    - Sad squirrel: pass your turn
    - Storm: dump all your acorns back into the "tree"
    - Squirrel thief: steal an acorn from another player
    - 1: pick any one acorn of your choice from the playing area
    - 2: pick any two acorns of your choice from the playing area

    Things I love about this game:
    - Although designed for preschoolers, I don’t mind playing this game
    - It reinforces color matching and recognition
    - Using the squirrel grabber requires some motor skill (pinching motion)
    - We practice taking turns by passing the squirrel grabber back and forth
    - Winning the game is based primarily on luck and where the spinner lands; therefore, sometimes my son wins and sometimes I win. In this way, it helps teach that you can’t always win, and you can still have fun and lose the game. We always congratulate the winner when the game is over!
    - There can be some optional strategy involved regarding what colors to pick and when based on what colors the other players have. I think it’s a little early for my son to learn that, but I’m thinking he’ll learn that when he’s a little older. It’s nice to know that he can keep this game for a while and still grow and learn things from it.

    CONS:
    The only thing I don't necessarily care for is that the acorns are small. Which means that I need to make sure all acorns are accounted for so that my 8 month old doesn't happen to find a stray one on the floor and choke! Just keep away from little babies!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and clever design!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Beautiful game and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the squirrel! It is thick plastic and looks like it wont crack or get broken easily by rough children. I am using this for ESL preschool and elementary school students. So far I have used this with five to seven-year old students. They all loved the design and got really excited to play. Immediately they started touching everything and made me nervous that they were going to peel off the sticker covering the tree stump. Some students also poked the tree stumps holes and tried to jam the acorns in deeper instead of just setting the acorns in place so I had to tell them to stop or they would've made giant holes or ripped them since they are just made out of card board. Kids are so curious, I guess! So I kind of wish the tree stumps were made of plastic as well, although they look nice made out of card board. I told my students they couldn't use their other hand to place the acorn in the hole and to only use the squirrel--it was actually quite challenging! I could see some children getting frustrated with the squirrel pincher. It is bulky and hard to pick up only the tip of the acorn with, but I like that it is challenging. Since it was hard for even first graders, I cannot imagine how three-year olds would play this and if they would be gently with it, but every child is different so this is just my experience so far! I guess you could allow younger children to use both hands, but then they wouldn't be developing their fine motor skills.

    We got this as a gift for our 3 year old to play while we were all sick and in quarantine. She absolutely loves the game, and it has helped her with tons of learning skills. I've also taken this to my Prek class (ages 4-5), and they all love it too! This game is a fun way to teach color recognition and matching, fine motor skills, and emotional and social development, and they don't even realize they are learning!
    The game is very durable! The squirrel tweezers are well made, the box is a strong, and the colors are bright without being obnoxious or sensory overload.
    Absolutely love this game!
