Elefun and Friends

elefunMoments made up of fun times in everyday life are some of the things that will become your children’s greatest memories.  Having fun games around the house is one of the ways to make just such memories.  Recently I was contacted about Elefun and Friends and some of their great games.

Their games truly are fun.  They are creative, and would even make great party games, primarily for preschoolers.  Giraffalaffe Limbo is a fun musical game that they really get into and Scatterpillar Scramble also keeps them hopping…and balancing.

Here’s a few more details:

elefungiraffalaffGIRAFFALAFF 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.

elefunscatterpillarIn 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.

You can even visit their website for more fun and creativity.  When you enter the special code inside each Elefun and Friends game box your child gains access to a fun animated short.

One very lucky reader has an opportunity to win both of these games.  To enter, visit the site and check out the games.  Then come back here and leave a comment telling me what your favorite game or memory while playing is.

    All 3 of my kids have loved playing Hungry. Hungry Hippos. I can’t believe that thing hasn’t broken yet. I guess my bet memory would have been when I was on bedrest with my daughter, my son and I played lots of board games to pass the time. He would bring the game and we would just lay in bed all day playing. While a stressful time, it was a good time to be with him.
