Product description
Monkey Around boosts hand-eye coordination as kids toss, catch, and balance the banana while mimicking fun, movement-based actions.
Kids builds vocabulary as kids hear and act out action words, body parts, and spatial terms like “hop,” “under,” and “balance” during play.
Supports social-emotional growth by encouraging kids to take turns, follow directions, express feelings, imitate others, and connect through play.
Monkey Around won the Oppenheim Platinum, PAL, and Parents’ Choice Silver Awards for promoting safe, creative, and language-rich developmental play.

Great value – endless fun!
This is hands-down the best game for ages 2â4. I originally got it for my daughter when she was two, and we’ve loved it ever since. I’ve bought it multiple timesâonce as a parting gift for a daycare I worked at and several times for birthday gifts. Itâs simple, gets kids moving, encourages teamwork and communication, and thereâs no pressure of a clear winner. A total win for little ones!

Fun Easy Game for Kids
Very cute. My son loved this game. He played it with his grandpa and had a good time. Easy game for kids not quite ready to learn rules.

Get your kids moving
Fun game to get kids moving and interacting. Helps teach kids different movements and motions. Good quality and price. Game can be played at your speed. Small enough for easy storage. I just wish that there were more than 5 places on the tree!

So fun
This is so fun and adorable. My 2 year old loves it and wants to play it at least once every day. She has learned taking turns and better limb coordination from it. We learned some fun new things to do that make her giggle like dad being a bridge for her to crawl under, imaginative play like using the banana as a pillow and pretending to sleep Etc

So fun and easy to play
We LOVE this game! We just keep playing until all the cards are used up. Itâs so easy and fun for toddlers to play, you just have to read them what the card says. The cards also have pictures which makes it even easier to play. My daughter loved this at 2 and still loves it at 4.

Le jeu n’est pas écrit en français donc une vrai galère quand on parle pas anglais, à 32e franchement il pourrait avoir au moins les règles du jeu en français.Apparemment il faut un des si j ai bien compris.. et il n y en a pas dedans. Bref je vais devoir tout traduire et le renoter sur toute les cartes pour que les enfants puissent y jouer sans moi…
