Win 2 Hasbro Games from My Blog Spark!

I was given the opportunity to test two games from Hasbro courtesy of My Blog Spark, called Giraffalaff Limbo (ages 3+) and Scatterpillar Scramble (ages 4+). They also want to give away one of each game to one Fun and Frugal reader. Our boys, ages 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 enjoyed playing with these. The Scatterpillar Scramble was too challenging for our 2-year-old (it’s designed for ages 4+), but it was also challenging for our 4-year-old and my husband and myself! Our 4-year-old enjoyed playing it with the motion turned off, so we bent the rules and let him have fun. Both kids enjoyed Giraffalaff Limbo. I thought the spin dial was a neat twist on the classic game. You can find several Hasbro toy coupons for $5 and $10 here – great for Christmas gifts! Here is more info about the games…
Giraffalaff Limbo and Scatterpillar Scramble are two new games that are sure to bring smiles and laughter to you and your kids!
* 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.
The Elefun & Friends collection, which also includes Elefun, Hungry Hungry Hippos, and Gator Golf, provides a great way for parents and their kids to enjoy silly, active playtime together.
But the fun doesn’t stop with the games! Kids can also experience the fantasy world of Elefun & Friends online by visiting www.elefunandfriends.com and entering the special code that can be found inside each Elefun & Friends game box. Once the code is entered, kids can access The Tangled Tale, an Elefun & Friends animated short. This entertaining tale features Elefun on an adventure to untangle a kite string, which ultimately leads him to the true meaning of friendship. The Elefun & Friends online experience also lets kids play games and sing along to songs like “Friends til the End” and “Follow that String” that help remind children of the importance of fun and play!
If you’d like to enter to win both of these games, leave a comment telling me what one of your family’s favorite games is or what one of your favorite games was as a kid.

As a child, my family had game night every Friday. My sister and I always picked either “Memory” or the “Cootie Bug” game. We loved them so much. Even to this day, all grown up and living in different states, we still play them whenever we get together!

We LOVE Littlest Pet Shop Monopoly as a family and love the game Catch Phrase when we have a good sized group.

Well my kids love to play Monopoly and Life, which just so happens to be the longest 2 games EVER! LOL But my oldest never wants to buy any property, he says he wants to save his money. Already a Frugal!

My kids are still pretty little, but my 3 year old really likes go fish or memory. Growing up, my favorite game was chutes and ladders.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:20 am
This is a hard one for me because I love games so much! I’d have to say, though, that while growing up, my favorite game was probbaly trouble. What can I say? I loved gettin’ in to Trouble! I also loved Twister, too, but it was rare that I actually got to play that one.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:21 am
I LOVE board games and puzzles as a kid. Right now my daughter’s favorite game is Elefun and Cootie Bug! We play them often. Thanks for the review of the new games.

My boys have always enjoyed Hungry Hippos. This game is loud but always seems to produce lost of laughter.
October 28th, 2009 at 8:16 am
My 3 yr old enjoys playing Candyland and Chutes and Ladders. Chutes and Ladders normally takes too long to hold his attention the entire time so we never find the winner. He is very interested in the Scatterpillar Scramble because he’s seen it on a commercial. Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win it.

My kids love playing Jumping Monkeys. They set it up themselves, which they love, and monkeys go flying everywhere! The object is to get the monkeys to land on the tree, but I think they just like flinging monkeys!
