hungry hungry hippos

We've been really trying to play more games with the kids- we have SO many of them! Lyle has really caught the bug, and always seems to be over by the game cabinet calling out to one of us to "Play! Play!"

He and Stella have really been enjoying Hungry Hungry Hippos. Honestly, I am not sure when I have actually played this game by the rules- I'm not even sure what the details of it are. Around here the kids just love hitting the button that makes the marbles fly up and into the middle, and then everyone chants "Hungry Hungry Hippos!" Hungry Hungry Hippos!" over and over. Good times.

Stella's favorite hippo is the pink one, Happy. Lyle's favorite thing is the marble feeders.

Have you played a game with a child lately? Make an effort to do it soon- they will love you for it.
