Chameleon Crunch - bug feeding game

I loved the walking, talking, humming Chameleon, and more importantly so did the children!  It's for Ages 4+ and can be played by 2-4 players.  
The idea is that you feed the chameleon your bugs, and whoever has the most bugs in his mouth when he stops moving is the winner.   It can be tricky as some bugs can escape, so was a lot of fun!

You can buy the Chameleon Crunch for £19.99 from Amazon, Argos and Toys "R" Us.  I would point out that it does need 3xAA batteries which are not included.

Whac-A-Mole Molehill Mania Game

We were given Molehill Mania to play with.  It is designed for 2 players, for Ages 4+ , which is perfect for my 2.  Though as you can see below, Scarlett enjoyed playing with her friend :)
The rules are fairly simple, there are 5 blue, 5 green and 1 red mole.   You simply bash the sides with the mole-catching mallet to make them fly out, and the children have to collect them up.  As soon as 1 player has 6 moles then their mallet shows its full.   There are actually 3 levels of play.  You can make it more detailed in that each player has to find their own colours, but at the moment they are enjoying just being the first to get to 6!

We've decided that the winner shouts "King of the Molehill"!  Great fun, will be taking it to their cousins on Christmas day :)

You can buy Molehill Mania for £16.99.  It's available at Amazon, Argos and Toys R Us.

Uno Roboto

I was very happy to be invited to review Uno Roboto.   It is of course the classic Uno Card Game we know and love, but with the addition of a cheeky Robot who can mix things up a bit.

Before each game you can record the names of the players into the Robot, and some suggested forfeits, or you could add your own.   Then, as you play, Roboto will randomly surprise you with specific commands for specific players - it really adds to the original game.   

It is recommended as being suitable for Age 7+ however I have played it with my 5yo daughter who got it.   As opposed to a normal suit of cards, these are played via numbers or colours, or clearly marked symbols to dictate the next move.  Another big plus for me is that it is small enough to tidy away!!!!

Great fun and sure to be a family favourite!   (If I can convince Jasper not to cheat that is!!!!)

Roboto is £24.99 and stockists include Argos and Amazon

HOT WHEELS® WALL TRACKS™ POWER TOWER® TRACK SET IS OFF THE WALL


We were very grateful to be sent this recently for Jasper to review.  It really does what it says on the tin, and anything that keeps an 8yo boy entertained for more than 5 minutes is a big hit in my books!   Even his daddy was impressed and had to be prized away from it!

At £39.99 it's a lot of kit for the money!!!  Wish I'd hidden it away for Christmas now ;)!

HOT WHEELS® WALL TRACKS POWER TOWER® TRACK SET IS OFF THE WALL

Say “so long” to clutter on your carpet with Hot Wheels® Wall Tracks™ – a clever new way for your kids to play with their favourite track sets – on the wall! 

Jasper is a huge fan, as am I since it's off the floor!!!!!
With less mess on the floor, there’s no need to spend your time building and breaking down track sets when you need the space.  And your kids will love having their very own race track as a permanent design fixture in their room. 

Wall Tracks™ are easy to use and come with a hanging template so you’ll know exactly how to set them up.  They stick fast to the wall using 3M Command strips, which hold the track tight but are extremely safe and easy to peel off with no damage to your walls.

New Wall Tracks™ Power Tower® takes the fun to the next level with an amazing motorised lift that moves cars to the top of the set for constant racing action.  Each car must speed through a series of terrifying obstacles including a slicing saw and chomping monster to reach the end of the course.

Get caught in the jaws of the beast and your kid’s car will fall through a trap door, while the ‘safe’ cars get transported back to the top of the track to run another lap.  With a colourful background poster included, Wall Tracks™ Power Tower® is the ultimate in frenzied racing action.  But beware; in the end, only one car will survive.

Priced at around RRP £39.99
Suitable for ages 5+
Includes one Hot Wheels vehicle and one background poster.

Send your young drivers to www.teamhotwheels.co.ukwww.teamhotwheels.co.uk to join in the fun
