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

Everyone loved them. Great Christmas gifts.

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.

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

Looked everywhere for this game could only find on Amazon not in stores … fun to play buy pricey! Easy to put together kids like this game !

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!!!

I use this game to keep kids motivated in a group therapy setting. I will often substitute small animal figures. Kids love to pick out an animal to try feeding the frog. It's great quality and can still be fun even without the batteries.

Classic, fun game. Can be adapted for many ages

Mr. Mouth will never disappoint. I played it, my kids played it, now my grandson can play it. What is not to love?! Put away the electronics and bring out the real games for a WIN.
