 Dr Seuss Super StretchyDec 01, 2009
By GiGi
Purchased this product for a November 2009 birthday. The recipient was a four year old boy. It kept his attention and he enjoyed the competition. He was a little too short to stretch all items, but we compensated for him. It was fun for all of us playing. It challenged his ability to follow directions and execute the required movement and would be considered age appropriate.

The most education game for Preschool/Kindergarten ageDec 09, 2010
By Missouri Mommy
"Laura, Missouri Mommy"
We are a gaming family. We love board games, card games and video games. Out of the many, many games we have in our house, this has got to be the most educational and fun at the same time combo game. My children (3 and 4 when we bought it, now almost 5 and 6 years old) consistently come back and ask to play this game. It teaches patience in taking turns, and great letter recognition (early reading skills) and social interaction.
Taking turns - It is still engaging while you are waiting for your turn. One player can operate the board and call out the letters and pictures, while the other plays trying to find the various letters on the mat.
Social interaction - we cheer each other on, and interact to help each other find and reach for the right letter or picture.
Letter recognition - to play you look at the letters that come up on the chips on the board, then find those same letters or pictures on the mat. You place the corresponding body part (ear, hand, foot) on the letter on the mat. It's a silly game, which captivates easily distracted young ones, and "tricks" them into learning.
This game earns it's critic acclaims (It has won the Oppenheim Platinum Toy Award). I keep thinking at some point my kids will outgrow this, but they love it still. We love it so much we have purchased one for my son's kindergarten classroom.
Don't pass this game up. I cannot say enough good about it. The only incredibly small issue I have is the little "collection boxes" that you use to hold your chips are a bit flimsy cardboard, but nothing a bit of tape cannot fix if needed. Also, it's good to get 3-4 ziploc bags to contain all the pieces in an organized fashion.

 Too much of a good thing?Oct 10, 2009
By S. T. Amatangelo
I played this game with my 4-year-old son. (It is designed for children ages 3 and up.) I almost gave up entirely, at first, because my son was fascinated by all the different parts of the game: the tornado, the little chips/coins, and so on. Once he settled down, we began to play. One problem I found was that it was impossible, for both me and my son, to touch our ear to any of the letters. I used to play Twister as a kid (and this game is an educational twist on Twister, since they have to be able to recognize the alphabet), so I was interested in the physical aspect of the game; however, we had no success with getting our ears to touch the mat. The creators of the game could have limited themselves to hands and feet, or added elbows and knees.
The tornado motiv is fun, but the footprints that signal the end of the game seem superfluous to me.
All things considered, a fun and educational game. But I think that the creators tried too hard to distinguish it from Twister (which was simpler).

 Fun exercise, educational value might be a little limitedJul 29, 2011
By Papa Grande
"Papa"
We purchased this game for our 4.5 year old daughter after playing some of the other cat in the hat games. I thought that it would be a little more like twister but it is basically a 'horseshoe' shaped map with letters (and words corresponding to those letters) on the horseshoe. You then have another part of the game which is the letter assigner that you spin and get letters assigned that you have to put hands, feet, and an ear on.
As far as difficulty, it is as difficult as you want it to be. Our daughter has been doing physical therapy to catch up to her classmates and that is why this toy intrigued us. It is very good in that way as she has to work on core strength and balance to get to all of the letters. But nothing in the game says that you have to get them all each time.
I wonder how much educational value it has though. The player must identify what letter they need to be standing on, but for our daughter this was a minimal task.
In conclusion, one month out from getting the game and our daughter still enjoys playing it. Great team building as you can cheer each other on. It is a durable product, but it does have a lot of parts (mainly the letter disks and feet) that could get lost (oh yeah forgot about the cards.) It would still be a strong recommend in my book.

Super Stretchy and Super fun!Nov 25, 2009
By Becky H
My little guys love this game! This is quite a confidence builder for my 4 year old who already is good with his alphabet but this high action, high movement game reinforces his knowledge. Like Dr Seuss, it is silly but in the end you learn a lot from it!
