Monkey Around is a first board game designed for toddlers aged two and up, encouraging movement and interaction. The game includes activity cards that prompt actions like hugging, high-fiving, balancing, hopping, and marching, along with a beanbag banana for added engagement. It supports gross motor skill development, coordination, spatial awareness, body part recognition, listening skills, and vocabulary building. The gameplay adapts to a child’s developmental stage—if catching the banana is challenging, caregivers can guide by shaping hands into a bowl, as toddlers learn quickly through imitation. The game has received multiple awards, including the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award, PAL Award, and Parents’ Choice Silver Award.
Things to Keep in MindHowever, a recurring issue noted by users is the limited durability of the game's components, especially the banana prop, which frequently tears or breaks soon after use, and some found the tree board to be largely unutilized. Why You'll Like ItMany parents find this game to be a simple, engaging way for young toddlers (around 2-3 years old) to participate in interactive play, encouraging movement and quality family time.
