Another fabulous game from Haba! It is a take on any other bingo style game, with a few twists.

Ear Tug consists of 9 heavy cardboard squares, each decorated with an animal with cut outs where the ears should be. There is a blue fabric bag that contains 21 wooden and colored shapes, that represent the ears.

The object is to pick a card (or 2 or 3 or 4 depending on the number of players). Each player puts their hand into the bag, which you cannot see through. You must pick out a shape and if it matches one of your cards, you place it on that card and play on. There are 3 blue pieces that cannot be used, just to keep things interesting. The person who wins is the one that fills their cards first.

We bought this 3 years ago for my now 6 year old. She and her brother, age 3, love to play this game together. There is no need for parental help, reading or counting. It is simply a your turn/ my turn type game.

It has held up and is quite durable. I recommend this!

I'm a game snob, I admit it. This is the one game my 3 year old has that I can stand to play more than once a week. It's cute and well thought out, and she loves it.
One thing I love about it, is that it is scalable: for younger children, you can remove the blue pieces as they show up, for older kids, put them back in. It teaches pattern and shape recognition, as well as tactile recognition, as they learn to feel for the shape they need.
