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 :)

ReplyDeleteI'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
ReplyDeleteLooks really fun! We'd love to have one!
ReplyDeleteIt'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!
ReplyDeleteWe'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! :)
ReplyDeleteThis would be great for our kids even though there's an 8 year gap I think both of them would love it!
ReplyDeleteWe'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 :)
ReplyDeleteDid 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?
ReplyDeleteWe would love one of these! They are so neat :)

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.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have one of these for my daughter! jennifer@jennifercarnahan.com
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun game my little ones would love.
ReplyDeletecrafts(dot)petersen(at)gmail(dot)com
Looks like a fun game!
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteOh, we are going on a 14 hour car ride in three weeks and my daughter would really love that!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun toy! I think my boys would love it!
ReplyDeleteWe 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!!!
ReplyDeleteI was actually just looking at something like this for my four year old. She would love it
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love this!!
ReplyDeletedean_jd@msn.com

ReplyDeleteWe would LOVE this.
ReplyDeleteEverytime 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!

ReplyDeleteAwesome...jocelyn.christensen@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhat an intriguing concept. I'll have to show that to my kids. (:
ReplyDeleteI know another 4 year old who would love it! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteWe 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.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like an awesome toy!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
