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.

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.

MY 5 YEAR OLD SON JUST HAD TO HAVE THIS TOY. HE PLAYS WITH IT FOR AN HOUR OR TWO AT A TIME. ALTHOUGH THE FLIES ARE KINDA HARD TO GET IN THE MOUTH ALOT OF THE TIME, THATS THE CHALLENGING PART...THE FUN PART!!!!! I RECOMMEND THIS TOY..(IT IS A BIT NOISEY)

I can't believe they still make Mr. Mouth, This was my favorite game when I was a kid (20+ years ago) I just got It for my own kids, 2 and 3, They just love it. So simple, yet so challenging.

I bought this toy because my 5 year old son really wanted it. We purchased this for Christmas and we were all looking forward to playing it. We were very disappointed in the product. You have to use an arm to flip the flies into the frog's mouth which sounded easy enough. We found out that is was anything but easy. You had to push the arm just right in order to get a fly in the mouth. Too much, and it would go right over the mouth. You had to recognize how much is how much, and after 5 minutes my son (and myself) were fed up with trying to get 10 flies in the mouth. The 4 arms that attach to the mouth are not secure, you can't really move the game without everything falling off.
I would definitly not recommend this game to anyone. After buying this product and re-reading the reviews, almost all of them say that the flies are hard to get in the mouth, I just didn't know HOW hard it was. Look elsewhere for a better game.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 4 AND 6 YEAR OLD. THEY LOVE IT, IT TOOK SOME TIME TO GET USED TO HITING IT JUST RIGHT TO GET THE
FLIES IN HIS MOUTH.AWESOME FOR PARENTS AND KIDS TO PLAY TOGETHER.

AHHHH, TO BE A KID AGAIN!!!

Over the Christmas season I purchased this toy for one of my kids, one for a niece and one for a nephew. I was so excited because I remember having this toy when I was a child. Well, I guess they didn't bother to make the toy a better product then it was 25 years or so ago. It's still fun to play but is not a very durable toy. The legs constantly pop off and when the mouth gets a certain amount of bugs in it the head starts to make a grinding sound and doesn't work properply. Just wish I remembered that before I bought three of them.

Mr.Mouth is my favorite toy in my closet!Mr.Mouth's head comes around and around and you try to get your frog into his mouth while it's open.Before you get really good at it you have to get used to it's pattern of moving and how hard you should fling the fly. I give it to thumbs up![and and three if I had a third!]

My daughter fell in love with this game at daycare and just had to have it for Christmas. The daycare's game was missing the top of the head, which made it easier to actually get your flies in the center. We actually ended up removing the head from our game at home. We set a timer and see who can get the most flies in the center in one minute. Without the head, its still loads of fun, much easier, and MUCH quieter.
