Find It Games recently sent us a game to play with and review. We chose "At the Beach" since blue is O's favorite color, and we love the beach. There are over 40 hidden items to find in this game, and we have had fun trying to find them! The top cap of the game has a list of the objects in alphabetical order, which makes it easy to incorporate phonics into the game. In this picture O is looking for an object that starts with "b."
The lack of loose pieces makes this game great for traveling and playing around babies... since you don't have to worry about them grabbing a small piece and putting it in their mouths (this is a constant concern around here since E is extremely fast and puts everything in her mouth). E also loves to crawl around on the floor while pushing the game and watching it roll.
I really like that through playing this game, O is learning to pay attention to details and to concentrate. This game also requires persistance which is something that most 4 year olds need to practice :)

My kiddos would love it too!
I've seen these they are very neat. I was actually thinking of making our own out of fabric and vinyl with rice inside. Thanks for the opportunity. I am a long time reader and your girls are precious. bowtiesnbutterflies@live.com
Looks really fun! We'd love to have one!
It's kind of like the I-Spy bottles, but better. I love your new header photo. It would be fun to win one of these.

I've seen people make these out of bottles and rice. What a great activity for a trip in the car!
We'd love to try one! Thanks for the giveaway. We are in the same boat with trying to make sure the little one stays away from putting small things in her mouth! Would love to hear more about how you handle that! :)
This would be great for our kids even though there's an 8 year gap I think both of them would love it!
We've made them out of rice and water bottles, and I also have everything I need to make them out of fabric and clear vinyl :) I really love this kind of thing...another fun thing is that it's a fun game for everyone from O up to her grandparents :)
Did you purchase it or did they give you this product to try and then review? If it's the second how would others be able to do this too?
We would love one of these! They are so neat :)

Oh how wonderful for long car rides! Mad would (and I would) love to have one of these handy in the car for our trips from Virginia to Connecticut!
Would love to have one of these-Dean
Oh! I love those things. My son would be memorized by it.
How cool! My two little ones would have so much fun with this! :o)
I've looked at those before and think they would be a great addition for my homeschooling!
That looks like a great game! (I just found your blog and am loving it!)
Thanks for the giveaway, my son would love this!

I used to work at a children's museum gift shop where we carried these. The find it was one of our favorite ways to pass some time, much better than cleaning. We never did find the penny though we tried many different techniques.
I'd love to have one of these for my daughter! jennifer@jennifercarnahan.com
Looks like a fun game my little ones would love.

Looks like a fun game!
I actually made one of those last summer for my girls to take on our long car ride to Maine. They loved them. I used lentils to fill the container. This one looks really neat and I know my girls would enjoy using it. I love your new photo at the top. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas. Cultivatinggranduer.blogspot
Oh, we are going on a 14 hour car ride in three weeks and my daughter would really love that!
That looks like a fun toy! I think my boys would love it!
We made something similar for my girlies bday last year - eye spy bags (think bean bag filled with rice and small trinkets with a window sewn in) but boy this would be much cooler to take a long on car trips - thanks for the chance to win!!!
I was actually just looking at something like this for my four year old. She would love it
My kids would love this!!

Would love to win! I made some I-Spy bags for my nieces (posted about it here in excrutiating detail) but my little one would probably do better with this version. Thanks for the chance!
We would LOVE this.
Everytime I go to the store I play with one of these. My husband says I should buy one for our boys and twin nieces just so I can play with it too. I would LOVE to win one of these because they are just so wonderful!
What a cool game! It would be perfect for our vacation coming up!
I saw this game in our local store and it is currently in my "to-buy" list. Thanks for the giveaway.
i saw this game at target and was going to buy it for our up coming car trip.
What a cool activity! I would love to start collecting games and activities for my little guy - 1 month old. But its never too early to start right?
We would LOVE one!!
My four kids would LOVE one of these!
My kids are the same ages as yours and I know they would love to play with this!
This would be an awesome "quiet" game to take places like church! Thanks for sharing!
Our doctors office had them and the girls keep talking about it. lol.
My boys would love to have this I was thinking of getting some already.
Oh neat! It's like the "I-Spy" pillows...but I wouldn't have to mess with those sticky pellets. Such fun!
Awesome...jocelyn.christensen@gmail.com
What an intriguing concept. I'll have to show that to my kids. (:
I know another 4 year old who would love it! Thanks for the chance!
We are planning a road trip soon and I like how you mentioned this would be a great toy for travel. I can just see my son entertaining himself with it. Love all the homemade ideas that people have listed also. Great blog! Just recently discovered it and I love all your creative ideas to teach the kiddos. Love it, love it! =)

I would love to have one of these in my home for my children.
I love the Find it games. We made some out of rice and bottles with Christmas trinkets as party favors for preschool last year, but we'd love a "real" one!!
That looks like an awesome toy!
Oh, these are awesome! A friend of mine (a school counselor) had one in her office, and I would always play with it when I was chatting with her. I bet my 3 year old would love it, too!

These are so cool (my kids would LOVE this). I bet I would get a whole 15 mins of peace :)
I used to volunteer at a children's hospital, and this type of toy is one they use a lot with kids as a distraction during frightening or painful procedures.Helps focus their mind on something else.

I would love to win this, and use it in my preschool class!!!

I'm at the middle of choosing little objects for a bottle I was planning to make for my little nephew (he's 4 too) but I guess it won't hurt if I try my luck a little so here's my email:

I've seen the sports one in person and loved it. We'd love to have one since we are a family that loves to travel!
Excellent website, wherever did you come up while using info in this piece? I’m pleased I uncovered it although, ill be checking back soon to see what other articles or blog posts you might have.
Those are so neat! My son would love one!
Oooo! Ooooo! Me! Me!!
That would be a neat tool for my kids at school.
This would be perfect for my little man!
I'm curious to see if my little girl would play with for very long! We're making a long road trip home (20 hours) & if I don't win the giveaway, maybe I'll just make one. :) Great idea!
Neat! This looks more sturdy than the fabric/vinyl sort of I Spy bags.
That looks like a great continuation of sensory bottles!
My little one loves his i spy bag, so i know in a short time he would love to move up to this...and as a trainer it is great to have to adults to do in trainings instead of falling to sleep :)
So Cool! I love your blog cant say it enough!!!
What a great idea! My kids would love this!!
Looks like something both kids would enjoy! Cool give away!
Oh I have been wanting to try one of these with my daughter. I've wanted to make a square pouch one but I don't have the time or trinkets to put inside. So here's hopen. Thanks for all your great ideas.

Creative and Curious Kids!
These look really neat! I have had a version of this game on my "to make" list for months. It would be lovely to have one for my eldest daughter, who is almost 4. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
My three year old would love this! I have emailed them to ask for postage costs to Australia. :)
Awesome! Definitely would intrigue my child.

Wow that looks like fun!My kids would love it!
looks like a lot of fun, my kids would love it. Ive always wanted to make games like that, but bt the time you buy all the little things to find, it gets expensive! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have seven kids who would love that! Thanks you so much for your blog.
I have been on the lookout all summer for tiny things at garage sales in order to make something like this. I still have not found one tiny thing, so a giveaway would be great! Thanks for the great giveaway!
this would be awesome to win for my kids!
I think I might like it (and my son would too)!

Is it too late? can I still enter? I'd love a chance for one of those!! How great for a pre-school classroom toy!
Agreed, those Find It Games are a lot of fun for the kiddos and the rest of the family. We made our own for Christmas gifts for the kiddos' to give to their aunts and uncles and they were a hit! (but we didn't make one for ourselves!!
Looks like a great game!
I hadn't seen a commercial bottle like this - only teacher made ones. It's beautiful.
We'd love one!
