GREAT game for family time!
I spotted this game in a parenting magazine just before Christmas; it had won a coveted spot on their best toys of the year list. I'm always on the lookout for innovative games that our kids, ages 3 and 4, can play with us, so I decided to give Bunny Hop a try. I was not disappointed!

The game is suited for 2-4 players. I was thrilled that my 3-year-old son could play independently, giving him a confidence boost. (Many games that are marketed to preschoolers still require adult assistance, which frustrates them after a while, especially when older siblings can play independently.)

The game begins with all of the bunnies in the patch, and every player chooses a color (blue, red, yellow, green). After rolling a cube, a player chooses a matching colored bunny and pushes it down into the patch. Then the player pushes a farmer, and if the bunny hops out of the patch, the player gets to keep it. (3 bunnies will hop; 2 will not -- of the same color) The first player to get a bunny of all 4 colors wins!

The process is simple and there aren't any real educational benefits as far as I'm concerned, but this is a wonderful game for building in a few moments of family time. The entire game is pretty short, so you can pull it out in a pinch.

We love the game and consider this a marvelous investment!

Fun game for preschoolers!
As a mother of an active 3.5 year old, I too am always on the look-out for fun, educational games. "Bunny Hop" is definitely one of those games that engages young children, and best of all they are able to play by themselves [once they get the hang of the game]. No reading skills are required here, just a knowledge of colors [here, the colors used are red, green, yellow and blue].

Each player chooses a color, and then rolls the die - depending on which color comes up, the player then chooses the bunny that has the same color [as reflected on the die] and pushes it into the carrot patch. if the bunny hops [some hop, and some don't], then the player gets to keep the bunny. Though the game can have a few variations [and we even came up with our own rules], the one who gets bunnies in all 4 colors is the victor.

It is a simple game yet really fun especially since it doesn't require any complex skills. And it is a game that can be enjoyed with the family, or by the child independently. All in all, highly recommended. I also recommend the fishing game, Gator Golf and Candyland for preschoolers.

Great for a 3-4 year old
Bought this after seeing in Parents Magazine. Did not diappoint. My daughter loved it! Would not recommend until 3 though.
