For ages 3 to 5
$19.99 to $24.99
Piggybacking off the success of last year's Hyper Dash, Wild Planet created Animal Scramble, a similar game for preschoolers that involves lots of physical activity while serving an educational purpose. Spread the smaller animals around the room or in the backyard, then follow the directions called out by the hand-held "tagger," shaped like a giraffe; it will tell you which animals to tag (by name, color, sound, etc.). The tagger knows whether you've got the correct animal thanks to radio frequency identification technology.
