Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In this wacky, whimsical game, players must use the Lily Pad Launchers to spring their frogs toward the rotating tree to see who stays and who falls. But watch out for the big POP -- and see how many frogs drop! Whoever has the most frogs left in the tree wins that round. This hilarious game is a hoppin' and poppin' good time for kids. Includes 24 frogs, 4 launchers, base, tree trunk with tree top and 4 tree limbs and instruction sheet. Requires 3 "AA" batteries, not included.

Amazon.com Product Description:
Do you have what it takes to survive the frog flippin' frenzy? In the Flippin' Frogs Game it's a flight for survival to launch and land as many of your frogs into the spinning tree as possible. But they better cling tight because there are crocodiles and piranhas circling the waters below, and when time runs out, the tree branches pop up.

Up to four players can duke it out in Flippin' Frogs. View larger.

Use the catapult to send a frog skyward. View larger.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Fun, fast-paced, flippin' frogs action The Bad: May require parental assembly In a Nutshell: Interactive game for the whole family At a Glance Ages: 5 and older Requires: 3 AA batteries (not included)

Recommended for children ages 5 and up, this fun game for the whole family is designed for up to four players.

Simple Rules, Fun Plastic Shapes
The object of the game is simple: Be the player with the most frogs in the tree at the end of a round. Win three rounds, and you win the game. However, it's not as easy as it looks. The flexible, rubbery plastic frogs are shaped to hang easily from the tree branches, but when the branches pop up, these little amphibian friends tend to go flying.

The brown tree trunk and blue game base are made with a sturdy, durable plastic. The green branches are made lighter for extra spring when the frogs land -- and when time is up. The lily pad-shaped catapults work really well -- so well, in fact, they'll fly too if you don't hold them down with a finger.

Sound Effects Complete The Mood
As we tested the Flippin' Frogs Game, the sounds of chirping frogs and babbling water happily transported us back to a boggy marsh. The game takes a little bit of assembly, and while it's easy to tell what goes where, it's tough to attach the tree trunk into the game base. An adult might have to help snap the two pieces together.

If everything's set up right, the tree will start turning when the game is "on." Once set up, the game is a blast to play -- even alone, since practice makes perfect. When the time is almost up, a bell rings, alerting you to hurry up and get one last shot in. A piece of advice: Aim for tree top; it's the safest place. With electronic sounds and motion, this game requires three AA batteries (not included).


What's in the Box
Game includes 24 frogs, 4 launchers, 1 base, 1 tree trunk, 4 branches, 1 tree top, and 1 instructional sheet.





Rating: - Waste of Money
This toy is a waste of money. It is even difficult for adults and older children get the frogs on the tree. Also, the plastic leaves/branches aren't very strong, we have hardly used the game because it is an exercise in frustration, and the plastic is stressed where it connects with the trunk of the tree. It is really hard to push the tree down to set the game, impossible for children. It is also very loud and there is no volume control. It is also akward and difficult to store. Don't make ...

Rating: - Takes a little practice, but TONS of fun!
Pros
FUN for the kids!
FUN for the parents/grandparents playing too!
Keeps my kids occupied for at least a half hour playing
Builds a little manual dexterity
Could probably teach some counting/more than less than values while counting how many frogs of each color stayed on the tree to determine the winner. (yea, its a bit of stretch on that one)

Cons
Little loud and scratchy game noises
Takes a little practice to get the right aim to get frogs ... Read More

Rating: - Flippin Frogs Followup
I was looking for an activity for our Fun Fair to add. The Flippin' Frogs' game seemed to be an activity that ages 4 through 6th grade and older could play. The game was interesting and fun as long as players could hold down the frog launcher and launch the frog at the same time. To solve this problem, we used duct tape to hold down each of the four launchers. This seemed to work well. Also, I would recommend that each frog be loaded with the head down when mounting it on the launcher. This seemed to ... Read More

Rating: - So much fun I am buying another one!
My grandsons in Denver introduced me to this game and every time I go visit we have to play it! For all of you who have played a board game with younger children and were bored to tears before they finally took their turn or someone won, this is the game for you. It is very fast paced and each game leaves you wanting to play another one!

My grandsons are 8, 6, and 4. We find it works best if I have the 4 year old on my lap and he does the flipping while I load the frogs and aim. The older ... Read More
