Magic Cabin Flippity Flop Domino Game {Review and Giveaway}



From Magic Cabin's humble beginnings in 1989, to their full-color, full-size catalog of today, they have been guided by the simple notion that children's lives are enriched by ample time for open-ended, creative, imaginative play. Magic Cabin believe in good-old-fashioned make believe and in children's innate need to interact with simple, natural toys and crafts. The words "batteries not included" do not appear in their catalog simply because their toys are "kid-powered." While childhood becomes endangered Magic Cabin pioneer towards protecting this special time in life by conscientiously selecting products that are beautiful and enchanting, sturdy and safe, and best of all, FUN.

************************************************************

I was thrilled (as were my kids) to have an opportunity to review a wonderful product from Magic Cabin. My kids received the Flippity Flop Domino Game.




Kids can clown around with this three-ring-themed take on a classic. Arrange the colorful wooden dominoes in a serpentine pattern, then use the battering ram to create a chain reaction that brings the whole display tumbling down.

Winner of the Oppenheim Gold Seal Award, this circus set includes 70 dominoes, 10 clowns, 13 accessory blocks and canvas bag.

For ages 3 and up.

ace and friends thoughts: 

The Flippity Flop Domino Game was a super fun and entertaining time for the kids, especially my little *e*.

finger on the trigger...
Getting Ready...


And they're off...
Ding, ding, ding... success!

It was hard for little *e* to set up the dominoes by herself. She would randomly keep knocking them down, however she really enjoyed pushing them down once I set them up. She also enjoyed making large stacks of blocks, sorting them by color and really loved the clown shapes. It does require a flat, stable surface for the set to work properly. The colors of this set were very vibrant and the wood pieces were certainly very well made. I found the canvas bag to be very useful, but I did have a hard time tying up the bag once all the pieces were placed inside. Overall, the Flippity Flop Domino Game was easy to play with, allowed for great use of imagination and was definitely very entertaining. Bottom Line: A knockdown... hit!
