Snug as a Bug in a Rug

All the colorful bugs love to play under the rug! Help all of the bugs get snug under the rug before the 3 stink bugs stink up the place! In other words, the object of the game is get all the colorful bugs under the board before the 3 stink bugs are on top of the board.

There are three levels of play involving matching attributes: simple colour matching; roll and find a match on a spinner then a matching bug; and using a spinner only match the bug with two attributes. Each time a bug match is found it is slipped under the board. If there is no match a stink bug is placed on top of the board. Keep taking turns until either all the bugs are under the board or 3 stink bugs are on top of the board.

Contents: 24 bright bugs, three stink bugs, a die, instructions for three game levels and a game board with a built-in spinner.

Feed the Woozle

Chocolate-covered flies and hairy pickles? Yummy! The big-mouth Woozle is hungry. Can you feed him 12 silly snacks from the spoon before all the snacks are gone? Play together, work together and have some monstrous fun! Set up the Woozle a hop, skip and a jump away. Roll the die and place that number of silly snacks on your spoon. In Level 1 (ages 3-4), walk over and feed the Woozle his snacks! In Level 2 (ages 4-5), spin the spinner and then move toward the Woozle doing the movement the spinner directs. In Level 3 (ages 5-6), do the directed move blindfolded and rely on your team to tell you where to go. Be careful and don't drop those silly snacks! Feed the Woozle 12 snacks and you all win!

Unlike most games, Feed the Woozle encourages kids to work together feed the Woozle so he won't be hungry. This way, kids work together, learn together and they help each other! A cooperative game eliminates stress, builds self-esteem, and teaches kids that playing together can be fun!
