We are happy to share the results of the San Diego Family Magazine Holiday Toy Review. Four SimplyFun games, Math'd Potatoes, Freefall, Foodle and My Monster, are featured in this year's toy review.
This list of parent-friendly, kid-tested toys is highly anticipated for helping parents determine what kids want most! We invite you to purchase any game from our award-winning product line. They are all great gift choices!
Math'd Potatoes has been in the news winning 2 awards, Creative Child's Game of the Year and The National Parenting Center 2012 Seal of Approval. We are happy to see it recognized with SDFM, as well.
A math game filled with lots of family fun! Roll your dice trying to hit the required value so you can move ahead. If you fall behind, don't worry. There are several ways to "ketchup"! A great introduction to various math operations. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Children learn problem solving, greater than/less than, quick thinking and addition and subtraction. Dad Art says, "An excellent game that builds critical thinking and reinforces basic math facts."
Freefall. It's a skydiving adventure with all of the fun and none of the danger, and we provide the parachutes! Score points each round by staying in the highest zone and then, finally making a skillful landing for bonus points. This playful game is filled with strategy and fun for kids and parents. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Children learn visual mapping, tactical planning and risk and reward. Melinda, 9, says, "This game has a lot of strategy to it!"
Foodle. Test your nutrition IQ with our fun new game. Learn important facts about the foods we eat to help you make better eating choices and see if your food knowledge of portion sizes, vitamins, fats and carbohydrates measures up! And, don't forget to exercise when you land on a Foolde Do space! Recommended for ages 8 and up. Children learn portion sizes, nutritional facts and making healthy choices. Mom Shannon says, "As a former dietician, I highly recommend this game for families to learn about healthy eating."
My Monster. Pick your monster and collect all their missing shapes by reaching into the bag. No peeking! An ideal "hands on" activity to encourage tactile skills in young learners. Recommended for ages 5 and up. Children learn hand/mind coordination, probability and mental imaging. Ryan, 6, says, "It's fun to see what you pull out of the bag!"
