Hippo Plus Graphite 9 Wood

Advantages: Really fun, kids and adults with love it
Disadvantages: The noise you get after a while you can't hear yourself think.

...kids loved this game as much as I did when I was young. It just shows that the most simple games last the longest in the market place. It does'nt last that long when playing and parents its really noisy but your kids will play it over and over again. Till you can't stand the noise any longer. The only argument we had in our house was who gets which colour hippo, there is Green, blue, yellow and pink. My son wanted the blue because its for boys and my daughter wanted the same because its her favourite colour. EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES The only educational purpose was counting your mables at the end. But not everything need be educational so long as its fun and keeps the kids away from the tv for a while. OVERALL A lovely classic game my children enjoyed this game is for four plus as the marbles present a choking hazard to children... Read review

...This book was first published in 2003 but the paperback version appeared in 2004. I came across this book in the local library as it was on display and I thought my grandchildren would enjoy the story - I was attracted to it by the smiling hippo.

Advantages: fun, easy to use, great for kids
Disadvantages: it's not enough to cause a large weight loss so if thats what your hoping for try something else.

...The new wii fit plus comes with a variety of new games and settings including being able to target specific body areas. This game is a fun extension of the orginal wii fit, it has all the same features with some added extra's so if you don't already have wii fit there's no need to buy it just the wii fit plus and the board. I recommend wii fit plus for keeping the kids and adults entertained but not as a fitness program. The new games are highly entertaining with the same fromat as the orginal wii fit so it's very easy to use. The new routines are a great new addition because you can put in a target area and there are 3 activities that are specific to that area, or you can make your own routines for a training programme or just if you want to 3 games in a row so yout dont have to keep stopping between playing. Overall though FUN... Read review
