Mr. Mouth Classic & Retro Toys for Ages 5 to 11

It's Mr. Mouth, the classic game from my childhood! I had been asking for this game for a couple of years now, but it was as if no one really believed how badly I wanted this thing. Well, thanks to an Amazon gift card from my sweet Mother-in-law, my dream has finally (sort of) come true. My dream of creaming my kids on a game of which I have spent many, many, lonely hours at my grandparents' house practicing, that is. While other children learned piano, I mastered Mr Mouth, waiting for the arrival of visiting cousins so I could impress them with my crazy bug flipping skills. In my youth, I could get three bugs in on one turn, sometimes four. My quick, little hands could launch them in from, not only the front, but the sides as well. My cousins do not seem to remember this game as fondly as I do. Go figure. Now that I am older, my hands are not as quick as they used to be. These days I am lucky to beat my six year old, but the classic fun of Mr. Mouth's twirling eyes, gaping, snapping mouth, and spinning head take me back to my Grandparents' den, when life was simple. A time when the best thing I could do for anyone was to sit quietly* on the floor, entertaining myself. *sigh* Not much more to say other than it is exactly like the 2nd version of the game and still requires a "C" battery, so no modernization or upgrade to the less expensive "AA" batteries. *I would like to note that Mr. Mouth himself is not exactly quiet, his motor is actually kinda loud, but I find his rhythmic droning somehow soothing. I recommend that you buy Mr Mouth for all the children in your life, young or old. You will make their day.

Everyone loved them. Great Christmas gifts.

When I first saw this game, I remembered wanting one when I was a kid... Then, we passed it in a store and told myself to buy one for my kids (and me!!!!) when I had the time. I should have bought this on the spot! It occupied the kids for HOURS! It helps with hand eye coordination and focus. It's fun, they like to share (once the older kid finishes the game, he reaches over and helps his brother finish as well). My husband and I enjoy watching the kids interact with each other. The game is always entertaining to the adults because you get to be a kid for a few rounds playing this game. My kids are ages 6 and 3, I don't remember what the recommended age was, but as long as you're watching as the little one plays, it shouldn't be a problem. Just be a little careful, sometimes when the kids get too excited, they'll hit the spring mechanism wrong and launch the fly piece far enough to peg the other players on the arm, nose, or clear across the table (luckily--knock on wood--no one has been hit in the eye!). Pieces are light and colorful so you shouldn't have a problem finding them if they fall on the floor. Good family fun!!!

The media could not be loaded. We have had this game for over a year and it’s still a family favorite. Our 4 year old daughter loves to try to get the frog to catch the flies. Each time the frog opens and shuts its mouth, his eyes wiggle in a silly manner which makes everyone laugh. The game itself promotes fine motor skills, coordination and turn taking.The reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is the fact that you have to take all the pieces of the game apart to store it and the top of the head is a bit tricky to attach at times but overall, the game is lots of fun for everyone.

I replace my 31 year old game with this one. It is changed a little but is still well made and fun to play.

There were no flies in it so pretty much pointless plastic. I sent a message to TOMY inquiring about replacement flies and received no response. Did replacement through Amazon and they are out of stock for 2 weeks. I'm wondering if all of the games were missing the flies.Either way, can't comment on the game other than it is missing an integral part of the game.Update: Was sent some flies. The 3yr old loves it. It's fun enough for an adult for a couple games. Well made and works well.

I had this toy when I was a child, so, I wanted to gift this to my frog loving nephew for Christmas. We played for hours! He loved it just as much as I did when I was his age. He is 4.My only complaint- they do not make them like they used to. The game is a lot smaller and not as sturdy as before- but still an all around great game!

I loved this game when I was little , I bought this for my kids . The toys they have these days are so complex or the exact opposite side of spectrum . I cannot stand watching my kids with their tablets and video games , it's like they disappear almost . My kids played with this for hours ! It arrived around 2 pm and my kids played with it until 10pm . It's the simple things that they find fun . It was entertaining for all of us , two adults , an 8 yr old and a 4 year old . Best family game night so far . I have purchased other Tomy Toys as well and my kids would rather play with these toys than the tablet or any other electronics when given the opportunity .
