I am all about games that are not only fun for my husband and I but that we can also play with our boys who are 3 and 4. Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel is one of those games. First off, the sturdy box it comes it actually acts as part of the gameboard, which is nice. There is no money to deal with or cards to read either which makes it perfect for young kids. The object of the game is to fill your log with all five colored acorns to feed the hungry squirrels in the winter!

To play the game all you do is give each player a log piece which they have to fill with five acorns, dump all the acorns in the game box and then each player takes turn spinning the spinner to see what their move should be. The spots on the spinner are relatively simple: Pick an acorn of a specific color, Pick any 1 acorn, Pick any 2 acorns, Steal an acorn from another player, Skip your turn, and Loose all your acorns. You use adorable squirrel plastic tweezers, which are very simple and perfect for little hands.

Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel is a game perfect for preschoolers to develop matching skills, develop fine motor skills, social skills of taking turns and strategic thinking skills. Kids are not only learning their colors, but learning decision making as they pick which acorn they need and learn good sportsmanship when their turn is skipped. It really is a cute game perfect for both boys and girls. My boys love the squirrel tweezers the best!

My daughter (4) absolutely loves this game. I chose it because the tweezers would help strengthen her fine motor skills - she also has to be sure to pick up the acorn the correct way or she finds she can't set it on it's stump. The illustrations are lovely and there's enough "variety" on the spinner (wind blows away your acorns, sad squirrel (other player takes a acorn), sneaky squirrel, one acorn or two) to keep the game lively and constantly changing. The game is also quite durable. My daughter tried to cram the acorn into it's hole instead of setting it on top. I had to pry it out but amazingly it didn't damage the stump at all. Phew! This game is definitely going to become part of my "birthday party gift list" for other children.

This is THE cutest game I have ever played!!! It is truly a piece of art with it's beautiful illustrations and adorable high quality pieces. And it's also a very fun game. My 3 and 5 year old boys really like playing it and really enjoy using the squirrel to pick up the acorns. It's also pretty enough to give as birthday gifts - love it! Highly recommend!!

This game is great. All of my boys- ages 7, 4.5, and 3 love playing it together! Very simple and just fun. I am surprised it is not an award winner. I just love it when I find something they all can play!

The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game is so cute! The squirrel squeezers and acorns are really high quality and make the game really interesting and fun for my boys. The loved trying their hand at grabbing the acorns with the squirrel squeezers! My 3 year old has a very short attention span towards games but the game was interesting enough for him that he lasted the full round, and even won! The more complex actions kept the game interesting for me and my 5 year old so it we all had a great time playing together.

*Note, I received a copy of this game for free to review on my website, A Mom's Take. Opinions are my own*

We bought this based on the good reviews here. Our 3yo loves it! It is entertaining, but not too complex. She is learning who is missing what colors and also who to steal from. Also the tweezers are good for fine motor skill. It is tough for her at this point, but she is learning and going to occupational therapy, too. The box is sturdy and everything seems to be good quality.

My 3-year old has played this some, but gets bored with it easily. It's a cute idea, but I was hoping he'd enjoy it more. The acorns get scattered easily (our cat loves batting them around). I'll be interested to see if my son enjoys more as he gets older.

This is my all time favorite children's game. You will NOT be disappointed! This super cute game is also highly educational. It will help with your child's fine motor skills, color coding/matching, spatial skills, taking turns, strategy, and more! My 4 year old asks to play this almost every day. I love the bright colors and the high quality of the materials. The acorns are made from a tough rubber so they are very indestructible. The "wood" logs are made of a heavy duty cardboard and are really pretty sturdy. We have not had any bent or marred yet. I can't say enough good things about this game- I wish we could buy it for all of the teachers we know. WELL worth the cost. Very creative idea.

Well packaged and durable product. It is an easy game for kids to learn the rules. The Squirrel pickups teach fine motor skills. Great for preschoolers who are learning to write. Bought it for 4-5 year olds but the 2 and 3 year old cousins had fun playing too.

This game is big fun for our three year old and everyone who joins in! I highly recommend it- well made, very sweet design and so engaging!
