If there’s one thing that we, as a family, love to do – it’s playing games. Who doesn’t love a family game night every now and then? It allows us all to be kids, no matter our ages. Growing up, I had a handful of games that were my fave’s, one being Hungry Hippo. Tons of great memories right there!
Thanks to My Blog Spark and Hasbro, we had a chance to check out two new games that my kids are in awe at!
Giraffalaff Limbo and Scatterpillar Scramble are two new games that are sure to bring smiles and laughter to you and your kids!

The first game, SCATTERPILLAR SCRAMBLE, Tucker saw this advertise on TV a while back and ‘had to have it’.
- 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.
This game is so cute! It is best to play on a hard floor surface or a table, but a lot of times, we will play in the living room, on the carpet – with a board under the game so it is stable to play on. SCATTERPILLAR SCRAMBLE really focuses on the child’s hand/eye coordination and their patience; which I didn’t think Tucker had, until we played this game. It is truly a fun game that is sure to be a hit this holiday season!
Since this game includes marbles, this isn’t recommended for smaller children. We do play this with our 2 year old, but we keep a close eye on her and make sure she isn’t eating the marbles.
The next game, GIRAFFALAFF LIMBO, focuses a lot on coordination and of course, balance. Your little one will have fun crouching, ducking, scooting – anything they can do to get past the GIRAFFALAFF LIMBO without knocking him down. If you knock him down, you will laugh but you will also be out of the game. Hey – fun in all aspects!
- 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.
Includes Giraffalaff plaque with 2 clips, 3 foam tubes, electronic module with support tube, 8 leaf bar supports, two 3-piece limbo poles, two bases, spinner and instructions.
- Requires 2 C batteries (not included).
- For 2 or more players. Ages 3 and up.

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!
