My impression
I absolutely love this little game. Hamish was totally bowled over and enjoyed getting to know each little monsters name and physical features.
The pins stand nicely and the ball is super soft making the game great for indoor play as it won’t break anything. However I do feel the ball needed to be bigger or harder to actually knock the pins down. Although this does knock one or two down, Hamish was hoping to knock all 6 with one ball and I noticed he had to throw very hard to knock the pins.
We had fun learning the great and have definitely played with it quite a bit. He also likes that it can be a single player game.
With a large focus on sensory toys online right now, I would add this as a great sensory toy for younger children.
