July 2011 Notable Toys — Eco-FriendlyAge Range: 4 to 12 Specialty: Yes (as of 2011) Gender: Boys And Girls
This game is easy enough for first time game players and the game can be made infinitely more challenging simply by adding more owl tokens into the game. This allows the game to age with the child or for older kids (or even adults) to play with younger kids. Like in Candyland, kids practice color recognition and moving tokens. Unlike Candyland, Hoot Owl Hoot is a cooperative game, meaning all players are playing for the same outcome together. A cooperative game eliminates stress, builds self-esteem, and teaches kids that playing together can be fun. Kids learn to work together, they share in the game play, and they practice cooperation. The object of the game is move all the owls from start to the nest before the sun rises. Players take turns, but work together. Launch date: May 2011.

All children have their own likes and dislikes when it comes to their lunches. One child likes variety and surprises, while another likes the familiarity of that same PB&J sandwich every day. But neither child likes it when their sandwich touches their fruit. We have found that most kids like a variety of foods that stay in their own compartments and don’t “touch each other.” Parents can pack any food in any compartment. The lid has raised compartments so foods can be piled high, yet the box can still be closed. The hinge is designed to keep top and bottom together, while making sure little hands won't get caught.
