Sophie's Seashell Scramble game is an awesome 2-4 player game where children can collect seashells with different patterns. Children take turns spinning a spinner to determine if they will pick up shells, throw back shells, or press their luck with Otto the Octopus. The children use the Sophie squeezer tool to pick up the shells from the game play area which also helps with fine motor skills. Students will learn to differentiate and match patterns and shapes. They will also learn counting skills and socials skills like playing fair and turn taking. But watch out for the big wave - sometimes a wave comes crashing you have to throw back a shell! And don't even get me started on that sneaky Sophie the otter who steals your shells! Children of all ages will love playing this game!

This game is so much fun my daughter would love to play this all day unfortunately we can't, but we do play this at least once a day, the game keeps my daughter focused, and entertained. Instructions are easy to follow, I love that it doesn't have many pieces and easy travel, she takes it when she visits friends or cousins.

We love this game. It's easy to play, which means that my just-turned-four year old was able to comprehend the rules and it's not overwhelming. It can be played quickly, which is something I enjoy as we can get a round or two in while we make dinner and are at the table but don't want to make a big mess. My son is in occupational therapy for his hands, and this is a great therapy tool that we can use every day, or at least several times a week. He works on his finger and hand positioning on Sophie/the tweezer, and the seashells being different shapes is a bit of a challenge for him. He also likes practicing putting the shells in their exact spots on the card and lining them up. We keep this near the kitchen and clean-up is really easy, throw it all back in the box. No small parts to put away or worry about them rolling around during playing as they are contained in the box. Older children have liked this as well. Our son also enjoys doing a 'voice' for Sophie and it's amusing to us, and to him. We like this game for what it is- a simple, easy, convenient and quick game we can enjoy often.

This game is one that helps your kids work on their hand eye coordination while using Sophie to pick up the shells. The pieces are adorable and attract the attention of young ones. The game promotes turn taking and learning to win and lose, especially when someone gets to steal a seashell from you. :0 The game is a matching game and your little one does not need to be able to read to play. Great fun game to have around. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
