Bob the Tomato was right on when he made this dry remark in Veggie
Tales' "The Toy Who Saved Christmas". While "Mouse Trap" is as zany and
crazy as it gets, it is also completely safe (unless someone swallows
one of the mice). Younger kids enjoy just playing with all of the neat
gadgets without bothering to try to put it all together. Just be sure
not to leave a toddler alone with it as there are a very few game pieces
small enough to be swallowed.
On the other hand, for the
future engineer or inventor in your family, the elaborate setting up of
the game is so intriguing that they may insist on setting the whole
thing up before the game begins. The elaborate chain reaction which
eventually leads to the capture of the unfortunate mouse/mice is simply
ingenious, and the young participants may feel inspired to set up a
fancy machine of their own.
Bright colorful plastic pieces and
whimsical gameboard illustrations come together to create a
five-year-old's cross between miniature golf and a role-playing game.
One of the most creative games ever invented, no children's game closet
is complete without it.
