My grandchildren love this toy. They want to play it everyday. It's a great birthday game for birthday partys as well. It teaches the kids to move quickly, that time is short, and they have to cooperate with each other to pass the "Hot Potato". It's kind-of-like musical chairs except that you don't need as much space or as many people to play. Everyone can hear the timer ticking but you never know when it's going to ring so everyone passes the potato quickly. When the timer rings, the one holding the "Hot Potato" is out of the game and no one wants to be out of the game. There is usually a lot of laughter while playing "Hot Potato". Fun for kids of all ages.

This is a great tool to use for your students in any subject. Play hot potato with your kids and when it stops on the person you can quiz them in language arts, math or anything else. Kids love it and they want to be the one it stops on. It is a lot of fun:)

I bought this for my 3-year-old. I thought it would be a fun game that we could all play as a family. However, the very first time we played, the alarm went off when my daughter was holding it. It freaked her out and she hasn't wanted to play it since. She gets her dad and I to play it... but SHE won't play it.

We loved playing with this toy for a week or two, until it was dropped about a foot off the ground. After it was dropped, the timer stopped working.

This game is an old time favorite and the toy was awesome while it lasted, which was only a week until it was dropped accidentally on the floor by the child. The sound all but disappeared. Very disappointing that the manufacturer didn't take into consideration that a child's toy that is tossed would be dropped occasionally. This toy was not abused by the child - gently played with.

I bought the Tater Toss for my 2 1/2 year old niece for Christmas--when she opened it we wound it up for her and started to toss it around to everyone in the room. It was so fun---she stood in the middle of the room, watching, and let out a huge squeal accompanied by a little dance. Wish I would have caught it on video. It was hysterical. It's all she wanted to play with the entire day. She still drags it out to play it with just her mom and dad, which is probably not as fun as having the whole family around, but she still gets a thrill out of it. She has a room full of toys, but seems to continue to be engrossed with this inexpensive gift. Highly recommended if you show the kid(s) how to use it.

It's a fun toy for kids old enough to toss the toy underhand & catch it. My 4-year old took a few bonks to the forhead with it because she couldn't catch it. Ouch! Also, she can't toss underhand yet so she wants to throw it; the hard plastic can hurt if you don't catch it.

Thanksgiving fun. Tator toss has become a TRADITION!!!! I had to reorder from over use, no complaints :) Passing toy NOT throwing as stated.

This is a fun game for two or more players. It's great for kids parties. You wind the Tater up and just toss him around until he buzzes. Whoever is holding the potato loses, in a larger group you can eliminate people one by one. This is essentially the same as the old game Hot Potato. While it's an incredibly simple game it's lots of fun and sure to keep kids amused for ages.

THIS TOY IS SHODDILY MADE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT FOR ANYONE!!! I bought this toy for my nephew for Christmas. When we took it out of the box, I wound it once first to see how loud the bell was. I didn't toss it at all, just one fast wind. Then I gave to to my nephew, he wound it, and it didn't ring. So it never even got tossed and didn't survive to its second winding. Mind you, the winding is not stressful to the toy, it is a 180 degree twist of a knob on the toy's back. DON'T BUY!
