Elementary School Age Toys That Your Kiddo Will Love!

Ages 3 and up

 Another one of our favorites at the spot! Players must carefully remove leaves without dislodging the sleeping bees. The player with the fewest bees in their tray at the end of the game is the winner.

TRY TO BEE CAREFUL: When the tree is turned towards you, you must figure out which leaf to pull. The goal is to select the leaf that will wake the fewest bees and pull it out delicately to not disturb them. If you’re lucky none of them wake, and you turn the tree to the next person’s flower tray.

DEVELOP SKILLS WHILE HAVING FUN: The Honey Bee Tree is a favorite not only because it is a blast to play, but it also teaches children hand-eye coordination, strategic thinking, and dexterity. If they’re not thinking and acting carefully they’ll let all the bees out of the hive!

HAVING FUN WITH FRIENDS: Game play is essential to teaching children about working together, taking turns, and sharing. Bring children together and help them develop social and cognitively all while they’re having lots of fun with the Honey Bee Tree.

 Ker Plunk! is a blast from the past with a cool look and attitude! The object of the game is to skillfully remove the sticks from the tube while dropping the fewest marbles possible. The translucent tube stands upright on a base that contains four separate numbered trays. Each player selects a numbered compartment to use throughout the game, and the straws are passed through holes midway of the tube to form a lattice "web.” The marbles are then placed in the top of the tube and held in place by the web. Just set it up, start playing and watch out for marbles that go “Ker Plunk!” The players must use steady hands and a cool head to remove the sticks from below the marbles. This best game from yester-year is just as much fun today! Share your great memories or start new ones! You and your friends will have a blast playing Ker Plunk!, just don’t let the marbles fall!

 Get ready for fast-paced play with lights and sounds that challenge players with every sequence. To beat the Simon game, players need to remember the color pattern and repeat it by pressing the colored buttons on the game unit in the correct order. It starts off at a rather steady pace, but the more you play, the more complicated the patterns become, building suspense with each turn. Count 1 point each time the green light flashes, and 10 points when all the lights flash at once. The Simon game unit helps keep track of the highest score as players challenge friends or try to beat their own high score in solo play.
