<p><strong>Play</strong></p>
<p>The giraffe’s body has a spot for one of the “friends” to fit inside. If you put one of the small animal friends inside, an adult can hide it, and then it will call out clues for the child to find it. They can do this with all the animals and simply play with them too.</p>
<p><strong>Observations</strong></p>
<p>Many users said that this was a toy that they bought for their children in the winter to get up and moving. It’s a great game to get kids active, because they do have to get up and find the giraffe. An adult can hide it from them, or they can hide it from themselves or friends in the treasure hunt mode. In treasure hunt mode, some users said it doesn’t give kids enough time to hide it, but the kids didn’t really notice because they were just playing and running around having fun. The giraffe will also ask them questions to help them figure out which animal to find, and they have to run around to find it. There are three other modes- play alone, play in a group, and memory. There are five levels of the game and they go from easy to challenging. Based on the age of the child, they’ll find the level suited for them. It’ss said to be a fairly durable toy. There have been a few complaints that the smaller animals were not sticking to the green grass platform, so they had to glue them on, and then they were fine. Only a few users have mentioned this issue, so overall, it is a durable plastic toy. Also, sometimes the noises that the toy makes can be loud. There’s no volume control, but based on most reviews it seems that the noise is usually not a problem for the majority of customers.</p>
<p><strong>Care</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Three AA batteries are needed, and will need to be replaced every so often</li>
<li>If dirty, wash with a damp cloth</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Parts and Pieces</strong></p>
<p>All pieces are plastic. There are four small animals, four platforms, and the big giraffe. Three AA batteries are needed for the giraffe to talk and give clues to the child.</p>
<p><strong>Concerns</strong></p>
<p>The main concern with this toy is that the small animals were not staying put on the small green platforms. To fix this, some people glued the animals down and said it worked just fine after that. </p>
