Editorial Review

Blue, yellow, pink, and green flies whiz through the air as a big-mouthed frog snaps at them. Not recommended before naptime, this is a fast and furious game to see who can flip the most flies into the frog's mouth as it spins around opening and closing its gaping maw. From two to four players, each player picks one color for both hand and flies and then flings the plastic insects until all 10 have been fed to Mr. Mouth. The first to get 10 flies in Mr. Mouth wins the game. --Lynne Sampson

Product Description

This review is from: Mr. Mouth (Toy)

Our son got this for his fifth birthday. He enjoys it quite a lot, even though it is actually quite difficult and he hardly ever gets the flies into Mr. Mouth. So, as a child's game it is a success. Mr. Mouth also has greater than expected educational value in that it develops real hand-eye coordination. Getting flies into Mr. Mouth is quite difficult and really requires the child to pay attention. This is an upside for many children, though would not be good for a child with a low threshold for frustration.

That being said, I think that children's games should have some amount of appeal to adults, as it is usually adults that the children will be playing with, as most families don't have several children of the same age. Mr. Mouth is just annoying to the adults. His motor is really loud, and grinds like it is about to die, despite the fact it just got fresh batteries.

Go ahead and get Mr. Mouth for your kids, but be prepared to limit the number of games that you will allow to be played at a time. Otherwise, Mr. Mouth will quickly turn into Mr. Obnoxious.

This review is from: Mr. Mouth (Toy)

I used to have this game when I was a kid. It had a yellow man mouth instead of a green frog mouth, but otherwise it was the same classic game as it is today. This game looks tantilizingly easy. That mouth is moving around so slowly. But just like the windmill hole at your local mini-golf course, when you think you're in, that darn mouth closes. But you can't stay mad at Mr. Mouth. And besides, he'll be back around in a few seconds. I don't think there is any better game for teaching kids perseverance and hand-eye coordination than the forgivable and entertaining Mr. Mouth!

I used to play this game when I was a kid (about 20 years ago) and loved it!!! My brother and I would play it for hours (without fighting, too!). I am purchasing it for my own children and look forward to enjoying it again.
