Mouse Trap - An Easter Gift Idea

MouseTrap Elefun & Friends

I have always been a fan of gaming, especially as a family.  We played card games, board games, dice games, and video games.  I remember all the family bonding time.

One game us kids loved to play was MouseTrap.  Do you remember the classic version?

Since my hubby and I are both the same age, I love that we both played with a lot of the same things, or remember the same cartoons and such.  We have talked and laughed many times about the game Mouse Trap and the aggravation of thinking you just won, and the trap not catching someone! Being a highly competitive person, this was like the worst for me! LOL  

MouseTrap is one of our classic board gaming memories, and brings back memories of fun childhood times with my sisters and our friends.  So when I saw they had a new version out I had to try it out for my boys!

Looking for something non-chocolate for the kids for Easter?  Think MouseTrap!  It's fun, and even my 4yo who never gets to play board games with us can play!



The board has been redesigned, and is much more little kid friendly.  It is part of the Elefun & friends line of products.  There are a lot less parts to put together now.  I also liked that they moved away from a dice to a colour spinner instead.

 The concept was easy enough that my 4yo was able to understand what was needed and to play with me. 



Of course I won...because that's how I roll.  He is 4, he was very happy for me! LOL



This is one of those games our whole family can play, and when I say whole family, I mean WHOLE family.
