My kids love this game! They are 4 and 6. The 6 year old is on the spectrum and picked this game up easily and plays it at least 5 days a week! The game is a fairly fast play which is great for smaller kids. It helps them develop fine motor skills picking up the cards and it can help your little learn colors. The game is cute and so much fun. It can be played a variety of ways! My kids get hysterical when their raccoon loses his clothes and is in his undies!

What a fun game to play with pre-schoolers. It’s a pretty fast pace game & little ones catch on right away, needing no help when it’s their turn. The bonus is, they can play this by themselves. Nice compact game, easy to store in the box it comes in. High quality glossy cardboard that will hold up to kids. Nice & colorful. This will be a great gift for upcoming birthday party invites.

Cute, fun game. Our 4 yr old grandson loves to play it.

WOW this game is amazing. I rarely leave reviews but this game is a winner. I am a pediatric speech language pathologist and this is a fun an awesome game the kids love it and you can target so many goals for kids of different ages. I played it last week with kids 2.5-5 and it was a hit. Work on colors, matching, following directions, turn taking, wh questions (who put out fires? fire fighter), expanding utterance length (he is cooking). The game can be modified to fit different skill levels and you can modify how long it takes to play (the game said the first one to get to 5 is the winter but many kids wanted to play until all of the costumes were on). 5 stars!!!!

I have played this game about 10 times now with my kids (ages 3.5 and 2.5) and they really seem to like it. As an adult it is totally boring but it's very hard to find a game that can engage both a 2.5 year old and a 30 year old so I'm fine with that. The idea is that you roll two dice - one that gives you a color and one that gives you a part of the outfit. You then find a costume for your raccoon that has the appropriate color on that part of the outfit. If you roll the underpants then you have to start over. The first person to get 5 costumes wins. My main criticism of this game is that unless he/she rolls underpants and has to start over the first person to play will always win. According to the directions the youngest player goes first so in my house that means my 2.5 year old daughter has won every single time. The other problem for me is that the game is not enough of a challenge if you only need 5 costumes to win. Ideally there would be a time that my daughter would roll the dice and be asked for a certain item of clothing but it wouldn't be available in the costumes that were still laid out. I've decided to modify it to require more costumes (6 or 7 depending on how many people are playing). My kids have been confused a few times because the article of clothing die only shows shirts, pants, and underpants. A couple of the costumes have dresses and they haven't been sure if that counted or not. Cute game, easy enough for my little one to play, interesting enough for my older child to play, could use a few improvements.

The play time on this game is perfect. It's not over so fast that it's uninteresting, but it doesn't drag out forever. The busy parent has time to play a round with their kids, but it's not so time consuming that you have to stop mid game to make sure the kids get fed, bathed, and put to bed at a reasonable hour. Quality wise, I have zero complaints. The packaging is strong and great for storage between games (with easy clean up) and the pieces are well constructed to not be too easily ruined during play. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design of each "card" outfit. The illustrations are beautiful. The game is simple. One thing I love about games like this is that even older kids (my oldest is almost 10) enjoy playing, because it's really a game of chance, and yet, it's something that younger kids in the house can play as well (maybe age 2 or 3) with help from a parent. Kids who don't know their colors can learn them, and those who know them can simply enjoy the game. The longevity of this game being relevant to a child is pretty good. I was ambivalent about purchasing this game, but I'm glad I did. It's one of the better ones in our game closet.

I don't have any issues with this game. It is cute and funny for the littles. However, if you asked my granddaughters, they would say that it needs more fairy outfits. It comes with only one fairy outfit, and they don't like it if the other gets it. Maybe someday they will be interested in the astronaut or the chef outfits for their silly racoon, but for now, they are all in on the fairy. They still enjoy the game, especially the 3 year old. It helps teach her colors, patience, and taking turns...and that the fairy outfit is golden, especially if it makes her sister upset if she gets it first.

Great game for my 4 yo. His older sisters were even entertained!
