Pie Face

It’s here the infamous PIE FACE! You know you have seen that video going around the inter-webs for awhile. It is re-released here in the USA! We just got this game today. Let me tell you it is FUN!

We love this game! Yes, I know then why did I rate it 4 stars.. the quality of the game is the only reason. I will list those reasons down below. First let’s talk about what we do love!

We love how much silly fun this game is! This game is one of those fun gimmick & nostalgic items. Does that mean bad.. not to us! Anything that has all the kids & adults laughing is a great thing.

This game is simply played.. Spin the spinner and land on a number. Then you have to turn the handles that number of times. Here is the tricky thing. The hand slaps at random numbers! We have had it slap the 1st turn of the handles and pass 9 turns. So who is going to get a face full of cream no one knows!!

Do we recommend this game YES! If your playing the MSPR price point you will get your money’s worth. Playing it till it breaks down.

The reason for 4 stars….

It’s cheaply made. You can see in our videos on youtube. It was falling apart on us. The face guard and handles kept coming off. If the handles would stay in during the whole game play. That alone I would have given it 5 stars. Having to stop and fix it over & over get boring. I also think the other of the head guard should be a girl or a girl head guard one should be included! Girls play games a lot especially in our household!

Plus side to it being made cheap. It all comes apart to be cleaned easily!

Here is a quick clip!

Feed The Kitty

Zayden’s favorite game for over a year now has been Feed the Kitty. In my option, it is one of the best starter games for children. You don’t need know how to read, and you only need to know how to count to 2!  This game helps with listening, taking turns and sharing. Which is wonderful for young children.

This game is simple. It’s a child’s version of LCR. The whole goal is to be the last player left with mice. You start off with few mice for each player and a cat bowl in the middle. With each turn, you will roll your dice and move your mice around accordingly.

Mouse: Put one mouse in Kitty’s bowl.

Arrow: Pass one mouse to the player on your left.

Bowl: Take one mouse from Kitty’s bowl.

Sleeping Cat: Do nothing.

Why yes, it’s that simple! I hope your family checks this game out and enjoys it. We love to hear feed back!! So comment below.

Find It To Go Games

These Find It Games To Go are limited Quantity. The editions are Pet Finder, Great Outdoors, Things that go and Treats & Sweets. These to go editions are half the size of the normal editions. Perfect to throw into a travel bag or keep in the car for road trips. This a contained game, so no chances of losing pieces. Every time someone comes to our house, they notice the Find it games we have. It never fails, they end up playing them while hanging out. They are fun for all ages. Adults get more competitive than the kids… Well, at least the ones we know.

You can play a few different ways. You can play solo or compete with a friend. You can time yourself to see how fast you can find the items, or see if you can find them in alphabet order. You can also make stories with the items you find. Don’t forget to look out for the mystery item! Need help keeping track of what you have found or what is on the list? You can print out a list from their site. (minus the on the go editions. Hopefully they will be updated soon!) Finditgames.com

In 2013, I believe they emerged with another company called Identity Games. Personally, I like the changes I have noticed. They interact more on social media, there is now a hidden mystery object in each game, and cute holiday editions have come out! I am hoping for a Halloween one!!! Fingers crossed! One can hope. Rumor is a Pokemon is coming soon!!!! The only down side is that they no longer use real pennies. I know you’re wondering why it matters, as it’s locked inside the game. The real penny is much heavier, so it makes it a challenge to find.

Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game

Our kids are so excited to start blogging/vlogging. They have been asking everyday to make a let’s play video. Here is our first let’s play styled video. Hope you enjoy it as much as the kids did making it. 

​The game is Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel. It’s one of the kids favorite games. It is an educational game that helps with memorizing colors and building motor skills. 2 -4 people can play ages 3 and up. Its easy enough they can play by themselves. For Zayden its helping him learn to play by the rules. He is our little rule breaker. Seriously, he’ll try anything to win. 

Very similar to the classic Hi HI Cherry-O. You spin to either collect, lose or steal and nut. First person to collect 1 of everyone color nut wins.
However, the components for this game are amazing! The squirrel “tweezers” are made a a heavy duty plastic and is simply adorable. When using this squirrel it help develop fine motor skills. The nut are also plastic and bring very durable.
