It's naptime at the pond but the baby frogs still want to play. Baby frogs try to be the first to hop around the pond without being seen by the adult frogs.
Players guess or remember which adult frog popping eyes will freeze the baby frogs in their race. This fun memory game is a delight for the entire family!

great game for younger kids and family!

I was very impressed by the quality of this game. Beautiful wooden pieces, and very sturdy box. A quality product, and a fabulous memory game to boot. Our entire family enjoys playing this. I bought this to help us spend quality time together and it is definately a success!! Fun and easy to play for kids, and surprisingly challenging for adults (particularly for those whose memory is not what it used to be :) )

Great game for learning colors!
»
This game is perfect for 3 - 7 year olds. It's great for the three year olds for recognizing colors and acts as a memory game for the older kids. My grand children ages 3 -5 all enjoyed it.

Great Game!
»
I bought this for my 4 year old. Easy to learn! Lots of laughs! It's great for working on memory skills and identifying colors! I highly recommend it! If you're burned out on games like Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, and Pretty as a Princess, this is a fantastic change! The whole family truly has fun playing this one!

Good little game
»
I bought this today for my niece's birthday (tomorrow). We opened it up on the SI Ferry and played a quick game between me (an adult), her (five years tomorrow!), and her sister (two years, seven months).
It took up only one seat on the Ferry (though that was by us being very economical in our space), so it can be played even under crowded conditions.
Both children grasped the concept of the game easily, and were able to keep close pace during the game - nobody felt very left behind for the entire game. Even if you have a bad memory and can't remember which eyes "see" the baby frogs, you still have a 50% chance of a lucky guess, which really levels the playing field for everybody. In order to level out the lucky guesses some we instituted a rule that you can't move more than three spaces per turn, even if you keep guessing right.
The game only took about ten minutes - good for a quick game, but not for when you want the kids to stay quiet while you shower or something. For added challenge, you could, perhaps, have everybody run the race twice.
I do have a caveat. There are a lot of pieces to this game - 18 eyes, nine adult frogs, six baby frogs, 12 lilypads, two dice - all of which can easily become lost. If you're not very well organized, or if your children tend to get into everything and spill them around and lose stuff under the fridge and the couch, I would suggest you get another game, something where a lost piece isn't quite so dire.
Edit: As it happens, you can purchase spare pieces from the manufacturer, and contact information for them is noted in the instructions for this game. This is especially good for me - my game was, I found out, accidentally packaged with the wrong proportion of blank and "caught you" eyes!

Fun and educational game

I bought this for one of my granddaughters for Christmas. The whole family played and we had a great time. It is fun and educational at the same time.
