Toy Box Thursday - Educational Insights Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game Review & Giveaway

Educational Insights is a leading manufacturer of learning toys and hands-on educational materials.They provide quality, award-winning educational products in math, science, social studies, language, language arts, reading, early childhood, Spanish, ELL, ESL teaching and classroom management. (from Educational Insights website)

Recently, the Lil Divas and I had the opportunity to review the Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game.


About the Game:
The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game is recommended for ages 3-5 and was perfect for my two preschoolers. It is a fun, interactive 2 to 4 player game so the whole family can play together.

The game includes: 1 squirrel squeezer, 20 colored acorns, 1 game spinner, and 4 logs to fill. There is also a tree in the packaging which doubles as a game board (you can put your acorns in there for easy access)


The game is meant to help develop matching, sorting, strategic thinking, hand eye coordination, fine motor skills, and pre-handwriting skills - all the squeezing of the little squirrel definitely gets those hand muscles working!

Our Thoughts:
The game was fun, simple to learn and easy to play for the Lil Divas. They got the hang of it very quickly and really enjoyed playing it. I must say their favorite part was using the Squirrel squeezer - especially to "steal" acorns from each other! ;)

  5. The E-Z as ABC Game Set is really neat! It has 7 different games,with several levels of difficulty. My kids would love the Design & Drill Power Tool Workshop. Also the Finger Puppets. They have a really cute selection of them! So many great items that would really make learning fun!
