Love it! Quick game, great for a breaktime and rewards. Also, you can put things on the butterflies and the child can say whatever he catches. Or put a butterfly in for each artic trial. Also can explain how to play the game to work on giving directions. Great ice-breaker for reticent children.

Boys and girls like it. Great for artic (put in a sword after each trial), phonology (final /p/ pop, final /n/ in, final /t/ or initial /n/ not), language (did not pop, did pop, popped, will pop).

I like the "classic" Little People better.. try eBay or yard sales. I feel they are more facilitative for imaginative play.

A kid-friendly version of Ker-Plunk. I like that the sticks can't be pushed out the other side of the tree by little hands. The leaves on one end of each stick make it easier for children to remove them.

The best thing about this cash register is the money. Practically indestructible.

Read a story then act it out.

Out of print? I just got it recently at Toys R Us for maybe $10. (May 2007)

Sturdy, but not injurious.

Same idea as Pop Up Pirate. Very cute.

This one is very sturdy, and kids love to put a baby doll in the seat.
