win a fun game
With numerous awards flooding in from both the UK and the US, this charming children’s game looks set to be the must-have family fun for 2012. As players race to fill their tree stumps with coloured acorns, they spin the spinner and use the Squirrel Squeezers to select a matching coloured acorn.
Game play also includes pick, steal or lose an acorn so encourages strategic little squirrels! Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game promotes fine motor skill development, hand-eye coordination, matching and sorting skills, and strategic thinking.
The awards to date are:
Practical Preschool Awards – Toys & Games ages 3-5 Bronze
Dr Toy Best Toy Award – Best Picks
Good House Keeping – Best Toys Award
National Parenting Publications Award – Honours Award
Parent’s Choice Award – Silver
Canadian Toy Testing Council – Children’s Choice Award
And here’s what the testers said: “The game includes a realistic squirrel squeezer and attractive acorns, as well as a spinner, four logs and instructions. It’s easy to learn, fun to play, and engaging enough to keep youngsters occupied. It encourages fair play and teaches sportsmanship, while targeting colour and number recognition skills” Canadian Toy Testing Council
