I was very disappointed with this product. When receiving this it was noticeably smaller than it looks when advertised. It contains very small pots of play dough and a small plastic elefun toy... more

    Advantages Advantages Great kids game for all ages, lots of fun, can help with coordination and learning colours

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not enough butterflies (make your own?), some butterflies get stuck in trunk

    I brought Elefun for my nephews third birthday. I got it from Toys R Us (in the board games aisle) for £14.69. I choose Elefun as I remembered having lots of fun playing the very same game with my cousins about 15 years earlier. To my suprise the game hadn't changed at all, unlike many toys which seem to get facelifts and upgrades. The game is recommended for children 3 years onwards which I would say is about the right age - my daughter who is 2 enjoys this game but can't seem to actually catch any butterflies! I'd say Elefun would be fun for children upto about 10 years of age but wouldn't ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great for hand-eye co-ordination

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Losing butterflies, noisy

    My 3 year old son saw the advert for Elefun on television in the lead-up to Christmas (yes I am a bad mother who lets her kids watch T.V.). All I heard for about 3 months was "mummy I want the elephant game". He did receive this game from Santa Clause and I think I was almost more excited about playing with it than he was! This is one of the first games that we could play as a family, and I wanted it to be great! When you open the box you find the elephant base where you put the butterflies in (bits of parachute material sewn in the middle to make a butterfly shape),a long plastic trunk that ... more

    Advantages Advantages Not cruel to animals

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor fan makes it unplayable.

    I'll start by declaring a slight prejudice against children's games. They are, as can be quickly realised, rubbish. There you go. Short but sweet. Too short in fact. Another 130 words to go. Elefun stands out as being especially rubbish. King of rubbish in fact. It has taken 150 years but it is becoming obvious that the Victorians had the best ideas about childhood. Give 'em a paper bag and a hoop and a child will be happy for hours. When they get bored of that, (strangely, by the age of 6,) send them down a mine and let them play with shovels and eat coal. That is the way to a childhood full ... more

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It's utter rubbish

    This was a Christmas gift for my 3 year old daughter, and while I know it’s only a week since Christmas so a review is perhaps a bit premature...but wait for it...this toy is utter rubbish, and I need to spread the word. I’d seen it around in the shops and avoided it myself because I’ve had experience of novelty Play-Doh kits and most of them are not as good as you’d expect, so I knew this was not going to be any better. Anyway, on Boxing Day I opened the box for my daughters to see how much fun we could get out of it. For anyone who doesn’t know, Elefun is actually a game by MB Games which ... more
