I’ve been a long-time fan of Educational Insights. They make the most amazing toys and games for kids of all ages. The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game® is designed for kids ages 3-5, but fun for adults to play along with as well. Your forest friends are hungry and they need your help! Spin the spinner, squeeze the matching colored acorn with your Squirrel Squeezer, and place it into your log. Be the first to fill your log with delicious acorns and you win! You could also spin “pick an acorn,” “steal an acorn,” or “lose an acorn,” so be strategic, little squirrel! A quick, fun game that can be played continuously in a short time with easy setup and cleanup.
