Dino Meal Game

Dino Meal Game
Ages: 4 and up
Number of players: 2 to 4
This game is somewhat on the same premises of "Don't Wake Daddy"... remember, that old game where you have to push an alarm clock button a certain number of times, and hope that this time the Daddy doesn't pop up out of bed? In the Dino Meal game, the object is to rescue stolen dinosaur eggs from a sleeping dinosaur's nest. You're supposed to use tweezers to extract the eggs from under a leaf. (Some reviews say that the tweezers are difficult to use, and it may be easier to reach in with your fingers if your child struggles with fine motor skills.) At any moment, the dinosaur might roar and lunge forward as you lift up the leaf! Warning: Some children might not like the startling aspect of the dinosaur lunging unexpectedly. (I watched one review video where the parents forced their bawling children to play the game... the kids were scared of the dinosaur!) Other children will be delighted by it. You just have to know your child and what they like. It might help to let them watch you play alone until the dinosaur does lunge and roar, so that they can see what it will look and sound like.
Here is a video of some children who seemed to be enjoying the dinosaur game, including the fun of being startled by the dinosaur!
