Editorial Review

Two old favorites often make a winning combination when they are brought together, as is proven here in this Pooh edition of Candy Land. Winnie the Pooh and his friends, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger, move along the winding path of the game board, picking up treats for a picnic in the 100 Acre Wood. No reading is required to play. Children draw cards and then use their color-recognition and symbol-matching skills to advance to the appropriate location on the board. Many adults will recognize this classic game from their own childhood and will enjoy sharing it with the kids now in their lives. A.A. Milne's familiar and enduring Pooh characters will ease children into the often-difficult concept of taking turns! --Wendy Slotboom

1.0 out of 5 stars Odd Colors, Lots Of Pieces, January 24, 2001

This review is from: Pooh Candyland (Toy)

We wanted to buy Candyland for our almost 3 year old boy. He really liked Pooh and Tigger so we thought this game would be great for him.

However, the colors on this game make it nearly impossible to play for a 3 year old. He understand colors like red, green, and blue. This game has colors like mauve, turqouise, and tan. And to make it even more difficult, the shade of colors on the cards doesn't match the shade of colors on the board.

Plus all the pieces make it time-consuming to put up and take down.

We took this game back. Do yourself a favor and buy the plain-old traditional Candyland.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for the true Pooh fan, but..., January 21, 2002

This review is from: Pooh Candyland (Toy)

I started playing this game with my son when he was three and he got the hang of it pretty quickly. He's 4 now and is still a huge Pooh fan - and still loves this game too. However, I have to agree with the other reviewers here about a few negative aspects of this game. The colors are quite horrible and unusual. I always try to say the name of the color out loud as my son and I draw the cards. Sometimes I can't figure out whether to say orange, gold, yellow, etc. simply because the color isn't really clear to me! I also don't think the little cardboard stand-up pieces are useful at all. They seem to be just for decoration around the board, so we leave them off whenever we play. It would just take too much time and effort to set them up each time... Luckily, the playing pieces are plastic (Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore), which makes them a bit more durable than the cards and stand-up pieces. The Eeyore piece is huge compared to the other playing pieces and is a little hard to fit on the squares as you move around the game board. That's just a minor issue, but when we play nobody ever chooses Eeyore for this reason. I don't have the standard Candyland game (I had one as a kid) so I cannot compare this Pooh version to it. I do think that if your child is over 3 years old and likes the POOH characters, this game will probably be enjoyed a lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars A simple game for small children, December 2, 1999

This review is from: Pooh Candyland (Toy)

I bought this game for a friend's new baby. Since baby wasn't old enough to play, we played it. We found it a delightful spin on the classic candyland game. The Winnie-the-Pooh characters are great fun and more "personal" than the original characters. However, we found that the oversized standup figures that are placed about the board awkward to play around.

The game works on the principle of moving by colored spaces rather than by numbers, so it makes it easy for young children who cannot count to move. The game might be educational for color recognition, but I seriously doubt any inherent educational value. After all, the object of the game is to finish first after chasing over the board looking for sweets and sugar!
