Hide and Seek Safari Monkey Jr - a must have for your little hide and seekers

Do you have a child that loves to play hide and seek? Boy, do I have the perfect gift for them if you do! Hide and Seek Safari Monkey Jr. is a hide and seek based game where your children get to play hide and seek with a monkey!

The monkey is an adorable plush toy that takes 3 AAA batteries in it's back. You turn the monkey on and someone hides it. The seeker uses the included wand and pushes the red button. When this button is pushed, the hiding monkey will call out so the seeker can find him. He does 3 calls and then is quiet again till the next time the button is pushed. This game was a perfect activity for my 4 and 6 year old. They had SO much fun. The 6 year old (Spaz) loved to pretend that the 4 year (Lil Riot) old was the monkey napping villain and Spaz was the monkey saving hero! This worked out well :) This also evened out the playing field with the game. Usually, we all know, that the younger one is stuck counting forever and never seems to find anyone. The wand (when it is taken with the hider) makes it so the seeker doesn't need to count. They just wait for the wand to be handed over.

I asked the boys what their favorite thing about the monkey was and Spaz said finding him while Riot said hiding him. That may be why the game they made up worked so well! They both said that it was fun to find the monkey because they liked pushing the button on the wand and waiting for the monkey to call. This was definitely a cute idea and will come in handy on those rainy days!
