Customer Reviews

Great Toy!
I bought this for my 3 yr. old daughter who is autistic. As many parents of autistic kids know, reaching a child that "lives in their own world" and has little attention span is a major challenge. This toy grabs her attention and she picked up how to play with it immediately. When she asks to play with it, she asks for "Farmer". She asks for it a lot and plays with it for long periods of time. She has even started to sing along with the farmer! I am so happy with this toy. The other reviews on this item are right on for kids in general. I want to speak for handicapped children like my daughter. It is a difficult thing to guess what is appropriate and what won't be such a good idea. I hope this helps you shoppers out there that have a special person of your own to shop for.

Good for teaching sound identification and memory skills
The purpose of this game is to match Mommy animals with their babies - who just happen to be hiding under haystacks. Set up is quick and the game is easy to play. Children learn to identify the hidden animals by the sounds that they make, and to remember where a hidden animal is amongst the other hidden babies. It is easy to stop the animal sounds or the farmer's singing when you've had enough of either.

There are instructions for a beginner and an advanced version of the game. My daughter mastered the beginner version after playing just a few times. Since she's only three, the advanced version is just a little bit difficult for her. The game can be played to conclusion rapidly. I'm pretty sure that this will be a game that we'll be playing for at least another 2 to 3 years.

Fun for everyone!
I love playing this with my little girl, who is three. She loves helping reunite mama animals and babies, and is ecstatic whenever she succeeds! Everytime it plays Old Macdonald had a farm, she runs around the room and dances and then sits back down and plays again. She plays this on her own, and also with her dad and I. This game is educational since she is using her memory and thinking, in addition to concentrating on listening to the animal sounds. She uses some coordination and hand-eye since she has to place the animals right next to their mama's and also learning names of baby animals. I love this game - lots of fun and I'm sure we'll play it in the years to come.
