We tested this game with at a local Mom's group and it was a big hit.  Moms. Dads. and kids all loved this game.  

First off you open the box and assemble the tree in the bottom of the box that it came in.  After you assemble the tree you place the three color set of Apples (balls) on the top and put the remaining pieces in front to allow everyone to pick their basket.   Game play is very easy on your turn you try to pop out your apple into one of the three baskets or in the box.  If it is a color you need and it lands in a basket then you get to go again.  It is a very fast game but still lots of fun.  You use a spoon shaped device that is in the shape of a leaf with a raccoon on the other side.  It is very well built and is strong cardboard and plastic.  Even with over 20 kids playing with this set now it looks like it did when I opened it.  

This is a great family fun game and it helps adults as much as it does children with your mobility and dexterity.  

The company that made this game is WonderForge and they have many very high quality games.  

I wanted to add this game is a perfect gift and my group are going to buy a couple games to hand out as trivia gifts for the next meeting.

Robot Turtles Review

I got this game a few weeks ago in exchange for an honest review.  Kids love most games.  This one is no different.  My nephew LOVES this game.  The fun part is he does not even know that he is learning programing codes.  You pick the difficulty of the game by placing cards that your character have to manuver around.  Use your blaster card to melt the ice.  Get your trutle to the Gem and win.  This game is a hit with our family and we play it weekly.  What I love about it not only are the kids having a blast but they are learning.  As a teacher I know the need for games like this.  Kids are growing up on technology so lets get them to sit a few mintues to play with us and they are still learning technology skills.  We highly reccomend this game and love it.

ThinkFirst Hoppers® Review

I got to try this product in exchange for an honest review.  First off let me say this is a solitary game with lots of levels.  It kinda reminded me of those old peg games I used to love.  The ones where you skip over pegs and take them out (your trying to end with as few as possilbe.).  I loved this game.  It was challanging and it kept me envolved for hours playing different levels.  I do this now for some brain practice to keep my brain working regularly.  My nephew loves it too.  We can not get enough of it in my house.  Also, I wanted to mention that the little frong pegs are so much cuter than pegs. :)  The cards that come with your game you try to make the pattern on it to win.  It is very engaging and fun.  Hoppers is a great game full of solitary fun and learning.

Wonder Forge's Disney Eye Found It Game Review

I think everyone knows by now that I am a Huge Fan of Wonder Forge.  The games at Wonder Forge are beyond Amazing. The are super sturdy and last with my boys. (My wonderful autistic son Timmy and my wonderful Nephew) They can be very tough on games by bending them and the cards and they have yet to break the game on of my Wonder Forge games.  Wonder Forge deserves all the Medals and Awards they have won on their games.  I am always eagerly checking the site to see if they have new games. The point is they are beyond any other games I buy from the big name brands.

"Discover hidden treasures and beloved Disney characters on the colorful, six-​foot-long game board!"(from Wonderforge)




Now, on to my opinion of Disney's Eye Found It.  This game was a 2013 Game and I can't believe I did not know about it.  My Nephew puts it best "this game is freaking fun".  First you pick your character either Tinker Bell, Ariel (which my nephew love to be because his baby sister was named from this Disney character.) , Mickey, Perry the platypus from Disney's Phineas and Ferb (that is usually my character, I love the show.),  Tigger (My all time Favorite Disney Character and I break in to his song every time I play!), and Lastly Alice in Wonderland's Alice.  The game is very fun and challenging and great for you daily mind exercise.  Spin the wheel and see how much you move on this four piece game board.  If you get the clock you must turn the clock at the top of the game the number amount.  Landing on a Mouse space or spinning one you pick a card and race the timer to the find the object on this large board.  The more you find the more Everyone moves. If everyone gets to Cinderella's Castle before midnight you All win!!  Very fun and challenging while encouraging team play.  Over all this game was so fun and exciting.  Every week its our new favorite and must play.

( Let me tell you I am not very good at this game the kids always win but it is fun ;) )   You might have to cover one eye or toss while laying on your back.  The person with the most points in the end wins.  This game is great for improving Cognitive Motor Skills.  Overall I feel this is a wonderful game and my family loves it.

Kids can enjoy their favorite characters from Disney Frozen: Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff and more in the Disney Princess Frozen game. Marvel is wonderful game for your little superhero who can not get enough of Marvel superheros.  Over all I feel these games are amazing and fun for the whole family.

Wonder Forge

I love Wonder Forge!  They make some of the best games I have ever played with my son and nephew. They are high quality games and are durable and extremely fun and get the kids really into the game.

Wonder Forge let me try a few games and they where big hits!  First off we tried Joker fun house. All  of our favorite of the three.  Kids or Big Kids pick which superhero the want to be from Batman, Superman, Green Lantern or the Flash! One player is picked to play the Joker!  Kids take turns spinning the wheel (if your joker you get your own wheel to spin)  and moving along the color game board.  If you land on a power up you get to use your superhero's special power! such as Batman gets a shooting symbol to try and knock the Joker down so he has to start all over.  Joker gets his own fun tricks he is playing against all the other players.  He has to make his escape before all the superheroes make it to the end.  He gets the option of rolling a ball to knock over the superheroes so they have to start all over (this is my nephews favorite to be! He is 5 and loves making us start all over.)  This game is endless fun and my nephew begs to play every week.  It never gets old!

The next game we tried was Who Shook Hook? game.  The game is fun!  It is a great game of skill and knowledge.  It really makes you think and have a steady hand.  Players take turns going around the game board and picking treasures off Hooks hammock (Hook also sleeps on the Hammock along with all the treasure.  but do not shake Hook!  If Hook falls it is all over.  Some parts are really challenging like trying to get a piece of Treasure piece with the shovel.  I fail every time.  This fun game is a blast.  The person with the most treasures win.  This game is based on the Disney series Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

The last game we tried was Dr Seuss Fun Machine.  This game is played along with a app type device like an Ipad.  Just download the app from Itunes.  It comes with strong and sturdy cards.  Three fun games that include Matching, Guess-A-Roo, and Slap Down.  All three games are  fun and challenging.     Extremely fun and goes along with your Ipad (also IPhone or IPod.)  From Guessing to matching fun and learning all in one.  I too love playing with my son.




**Again I would love to thank Wonder Forge for being Awesome and letting me try these games in exchange for a honest Review.  I did not receive monetary compensation and the opinions in this review are my heartfelt views.
