Learning Resources Hide-N-Go Moo, Preschool Toys, Sensory Awareness, 9 Pieces, Ages 2+

fun game to play with all ages/ the whole family. directions were easy to understand. colors are nice. good for fine motor skills, counting, comparing.

Brought for my son who has autism. This helps to keep his attention and creates joint engagement. He likes the element of surprise and the matching of the animals. He also uses the barn to put other animal figures in to hide them. It is also waterproof as it is plastic so great to use in the bath!

Great for preschoolers- second time purchasing this quality product.

My 1 year old and 3 year old grandsons both like playing with the animals and the barn. I hope they will continue to play with them.

Excellent quality product, the house is solid and the animals are very well made. This will last for years.

My daughter really loved play peek-a-boo game and trying to find certain farm animals. She had fun matching farm animals with their sound and their body.

My three year old loves playing Hide-n-Go Moo. She reaches inside the barn and tries to guess the animal by telling us what she feels. SHe also enjoys matching the mommy animal to the baby animal. I like that the pieces are big so I don't have to worry if baby sister gets her hands on anything. Plus it is very durable and definitely built to last.

The main play is to place the animals inside the barn and use sensory skills to identify each animal by touch. There is a vinyl flap on the top which is easy for little toddler hands to go in and out. It doesn't scratch up Kenzie's hands either. She definitely enjoys hiding her animals in the barn to quickly finding them again. The size of this toy makes it very portable and clean up is a breeze as you just place the animals inside the barn for nap time.

The Hide N' Go Moo is a fun sensory toy for children ages 2 to 4 years of age. It is made up of a hard plastic barn with a vinyl top. The vinyl top is a slit opening to reach inside the barn. It includes 4 mommy (or daddy) and 4 baby animals. There are cows, pigs, horses, and ducks. The animals are made of a smooth hard plastic. There is an obvious size difference so you can tell which is the adult animal and which is the baby. The animals are perfect size to grasp in little hands. This game can be used in many ways. The animals can be sorted by size or by family. By placing the animals in the barn they can be pulled out to discover which you found. Also, by reaching into the barn a child can search for a certain animal based on feel or guess which they have found based on feel. I really like the versatility of this toy. It really is simple, but we have so many options on ways to play. The barn and the animals are all well made and sturdy. This toy will last for many years and because of the great quality of everything Learning Resources makes I am sure it will continue to look brand new just as long. I am excited to continue to use this to teach my toddler about animals. The barn can also be used to put other things inside for sensory play. I have not tried it yet, but I plan to also use the barn with my soon to be kindergartener for letters, shapes, and numbers. I will probably use his magnet letters and hide them in the barn and have him guess which ones he grabs when he reaches in by touch. While I was teaching I used to sing a fun ABC song with Old MacDonald. Pretty much it was, "Old MacDonald had a farm e-i-e-i-e-i-o and on his farm he had an A, e-i-e-i-e-i-o, with an /a/ /a/ here and an /a/ /a/ there, here an /a/, there an /a/, everywhere an /a/ /a/, Old MacDonald had a farm e-i-e-i-e-i-o". It is a fun way to teach letters and their sounds. I think by adding the letters inside the barn and pulling them out one at a time we can sing the song with which ever letter we pull out.

I bought the barn for my just turned two year old granddaughter. Sadly, it had very little play value. More appropriate for 18 months. The doors don't open, and you can't see inside. And the animals are so similar in size, it was uninteresting to her after a few minutes.
