Noah’s Ark Matching Game + Kaleidoscope

Noah's Ark Matching Game

 

Recently we had a chance to review the Noah’s Ark Matching Game +Kaleidoscope, another in the line of faith-based products from Wee Believers.  Check out our other reviews on Wee Believers Floor Puzzles.

Details …

Make a pair, two by two, fun and games with Noah’s crew! 48 sturdy game pieces featuring Noah’s lively animal friends are stored in a keepsake, reusable container that doubles as a
colorful kaleidoscope when empty! Game comes with suggestions for extended play ideas and each game piece measures 2.25” round.

Our Thoughts …

The kids love this game. They love seeing the Noah’s Ark animals and they have played the matching game multiple times but … Matthew has claimed the game.

He just plays with the circles and lines them up or matches them on his own. In the process he has managed to lose at least one of the circles. That doesn’t matter to him though, you can still find him playing the the “animal circles” at least every other day.  As far as the circles themselves go, they are beautiful, but it can be hard to tell which is male or female.  We also found it a bit strange to find whales and fish in Noah’s Ark, but a 3-year-old doesn’t seem to notice stuff like that too much.

The Kaleidoscope is a neat addition, but being so far down into the storage part makes the light more difficult to get down there.  You really have to point the kaleidoscope at the light to get it to work.  When you do, you get ooh’s and aah’s, but our kids didn’t really use it for that.

All in all, it is a pretty great product.  While some of the features may not work ideally, we would have no problem highly recommending it to anyone who asks.  As a matter of fact, you might want to buy two…just in case your little one loses a card or two.  Amazon currently has a great price on these and they would make an excellent gift for Christmas. They would nicely fill up a stocking if you need a big filler item! ;)

A Family Carpet Picnic and Game Night #DipDipHooray

We celebrated the Labor Day holiday weekend with a family carpet picnic and game night! #DipDipHooray

Our family evening started with a trip to Walmart. I took Grace after her six year check-up appointment. As her treat for being so good, she had the privilege of picking out the ice cream for our family night! We decided to add a new game to our game collection. The game selection at Walmart made this a hard choice for a six year old little girl.

She did pick Hungry, Hungry, Hippos for our family game night! Are you a Hasbro games fan? … Check out the Hasbro Games sweepstakes microsite!
We then went over to get the Tyson Chicken Nuggets, Ore-Ida French Fries, and Heinz Ketchup.

Saturday night came around and it was time to make dinner. Beth opted for easy clean up and no dishes that night!

It was time for our carpet picnic! Yum!

After we ate, it was time play Hungry, Hungry Hippos. I didn’t think about having to assemble the game which lead to the kids being a little impatient as I snapped pieces together and put the stickers on the game.

Beth and I had to read the directions on how to play as it had been too long since we had played!

After our family carpet picnic and family game night, we loaded our UPCs into DipToPlay.com and were able to unlock games and play! You too can play the  DipToPlay.com sweepstakes! Uploaded the UPC numbers to unlock games and play. You can check out the sweepstakes rules located here.

Feed the Woozle

 

Details …

Feed the Woozle – A Game of Silly Snacks and Mixed Up Moves! Chocolate covered flies and hairy pickles? Yummy! The big mouth Woozle is hungry. Can you feed him 12 silly snacks from the spoon before all the snacks are gone? Play together, work together, and have some monstrous fun! Instructions for play include three different game levels so the fun will grow with your child.

Our Thoughts …

This game came with us on our camping in the cabin trip. The instructions to the game are broken up by age group and our kids cross the age groups. We let Grace and Sophie play with the spinner and Matthew just walk. It worked out nicely and for once it was great to have a game that all three kids could participate in playing in together! We stayed in a one room cabin and that was even enough space for this game!

Here are some pictures …

As you can see from the smiles, the kids had a lot of fun playing this game and I know they will be asking for this game on game nights. If you have little ones, you should add this game to your collection for sure! You can find this game on Amazon for a great price. Remember to start thinking fall/winter birthdays and Christmas gifts!
