Product Description

The Big Red Dog has lost his bones! Can you help him find them and carry them home? 12 color-coded bones are placed face down on the board. Press down on the electronic doghouse, listen to the number of barks, then move your Clifford playing piece that many spaces in any direction. At the spot where you land, sniff out the bone. If Clifford's collar matches the color on the bone, you can pick it up and bring it home! If the color doesn't match, it belongs to someone else. Hope they were paying attention so they can pick it up next! The first player to find all 3 of Clifford's matching colored bones is the winner. Features 4 collectable Clifford pawns and 12 magical bones that cling to Clifford's mouth and stay in place! Also comes with an electronic doghouse that really barks, game board, and game instructions in English and French. For 2 - 4 Players, Ages 3 and Up.

My 3 year old daughter loves this game. The barking dog house is too cute. It does have some educational value with learning colors, green, red, yellow, & blue and also counting to 3. It has some good memory skill building as well b/c you need to remember where your color bones are if another player finds them. This is just a good fun family game. It is also a pretty quick game so it keeps the attention of younger children. I think the age range of 7 and up is a bit high. I would recommend it for preschoolers!!!!!!

I had a heck of a time finding out the object of this game, it's not even on the outside of the box! After a search on the internet I finally found the instructions and it sounded cute so we got it. The barking dog house acts as the spinner, you press on the top and count the number of barks and that is how many spaces you move your Clifford pawn. The four Clifford pawns included each have a different color dog tag and you have to find the three bones (out of 12) that match your Clifford. The cutest part is that you use your Clifford pawn to pick up the bone. Each pawn has a magnetic nose so when you touch his nose to the bone he picks it up, revealing the color on the bottom of the bone. (My daughter was amazed that he actually picked up the bone!) If it matches you keep the bone, if not, the bone goes back on the board.

I agree that the manufacturer's age is too high. I'd say 3-5 years, as long as you don't let the children put the CHOKING HAZARDS in their mouths.

I got this board game for my 3-year-old daughter, a Clifford fan, for her 3rd birthday. We tried it yesterday and she had a lot of fun with it. However, at 3 she is not quite ready to play the game exactly according to the instructions. Nonetheless, we made up our own version of the game involving the barking randomizer (which she loved) and the magnetic bones & the Clifford playing pieces. By the end of our playing session, she was really getting the hang of taking turns. That was a huge milestone in my opinion. It will only get better I'm surmising. We had a blast playing this game. And my daughter got to feel like a bid kid, playing the game at the dining room table (so that her little sister couldn't get into the tiny pieces).
