My son received this as a gift when he was 2 and enjoys playing this game. When he originally started he had a hard time using the squirrel tweezer with his small hands. The game is great for toddlers with simple instructions. I (mom) loves playing it with him since it's a pretty quick game.

We got this as a gift for our 3 year old to play while we were all sick and in quarantine. She absolutely loves the game, and it has helped her with tons of learning skills. I've also taken this to my Prek class (ages 4-5), and they all love it too! This game is a fun way to teach color recognition and matching, fine motor skills, and emotional and social development, and they don't even realize they are learning!
The game is very durable! The squirrel tweezers are well made, the box is a strong, and the colors are bright without being obnoxious or sensory overload.
Absolutely love this game!

Overall, this is a fun and educational game for young children. My daughter is three years old so we have trouble finding fun games for her age bracket. She loves squirrels and acorns so I thought this would be a good game for her. The box itself is very cute, as you can see from the picture. My sister saw it on the shelf and said, "That's the cutest game box I think I've ever seen." The inside of the box has a tree print (one big tree) and this is where you store the acorns while you're playing. The game comes with acorns with different colored tops, a spinner, log slices in which to collect your acorns, and an acorn grabber in the shape of a squirrel. The acorn grabber and the acorns are a nice material. The grabber is plastic and sturdy and the acorns are plastic and rubber-like and nice. However, the spinner is just a flimsy piece of cardboard with a plastic arrow on it and the log slices are cardboard and hollow (without a bottom). I was disappointed at the quality of those two items. I wish at least the log slices were plastic for better wear and tear. The game itself is fun for young children. You spin the spinner and collect acorns with the squirrel grabber, depending on what you land on. You might land on a color (grab an acorn of that color), a number (grab that number of acorns of any color), a sad squirrel (which means you lose all of your acorns) or a thief squirrel (which means you get to steal an acorn from another player). Whoever fills up their log slice with each color of acorn first is the winner. This game is educational in that it teaches colors, counting, turn-taking, and gripping (fine motor skills). It's easy for my three-year-old to play without much explaining. She enjoys playing it and so do we. It's probably more fun for us than her other games. It also goes by quickly enough that she doesn't get bored.

My toddlers love this game! They love using the squirrel to pick up the acorns and spinning the spinner. It teaches them good taking turns skills.

My seven year old granddaughter saw this game I got for her younger sister and she was so excited. She said they had this game in her classroom and it was her favorite. I like the very simple rules and my three year old likes the little colorful acorns. She doesn't understand the rules so we just let her match the acorns to the appropriate color in the little log. The little squirrel to pick up the acorns is a little awkward, but not overly difficult for my five year old grandson. He does have to work at it a little, but he insists on using it every time. I think the pieces are well-made and the five year old and seven year old grandchildren really love playing the game, the three year old doesn't grasp the concept of the game as well but as I mentioned earlier, she does like matching up the colors so she gets fun out of it as well. I think it was money well spent..
