5.0 out of 5 stars Great for playdates, but a bit fragile, January 2, 2004

This review is from: Crocodile Dentist (Toy)

We are on our third crocodile dentist! It is a wonderful wonderful toy that my developmentally delayed preschooler and his typical friend all LOVE. But I carry it to the park in a large toy bag and the past two copies have broken...when you press a tooth it won't stay down anymore. A good way around this might be to keep it in a box of it's own.

This is also a wonderful toy for parents following the RDI Steve Gutstein social therapy for children with Autism. Because this toy has an element of surprise, as you press each tooth you never know if this is the tooth that will cause the jaw to snap shut! Note: the snapping shut is fairly gentle and safe for preschoolers!

The toy was much smaller than I thought it would be but it makes an OK travel toy because there is no loose pieces. Also, it did not take my 4yr old long to realise that the tooth ( a different one each time) which is stiff to push is the one which makes the croc's mouth close.

This game is wonderfully simple. It comes fully assembled and has no removable parts to lose. Every time you open the croc's mouth a new tooth will act as the trigger to make the mouth snap shut.

You can play a winnerless version of this game where the point of the game is the surprise for all of the players when the crocodile snaps at one player's finger. By playing this game so that there are no winners, I have taught my little one the value of taking turns for the enjoyment of all.
