Goliath Greedy Granny - Toys R Us Exclusive Version

Product Information

She’s taking a nap in her favourite chair and has fallen asleep with a tray of yummy biscuits on her lap. Perfect for all the family, Greedy Granny is full of suspense and will have everyone on the edge of their seats.

First player to match the card to Granny’s face is rewarded with a different number of toy cookies which helps encourage counting - The player with the most cookies wins! The winner is the first person to get one of each biscuit – and believe me that can be very difficult!To play each player takes it in turns to spin the dial, depending on the colour it lands on (green to take a biscuit and purple to put one back on the tray) and the number it lands on will tell you what to do next. GREEDY GRANNY – In this family game, Granny has fallen asleep with all the biscuits, what a greedy granny! All pictures unless otherwise stated have been taken by me, Rebecca Smith – the sole author of this blog.

If you spin and land on purple, you have to put a biscuit back on the tray and press the button the number of times shown.

TRAVEL GAME FOR KIDS: The unit folds up neatly to provide a handy storage compartment for keeping cards and cookies safe. A perfectly mischievous game for all the family, Greedy Granny is full of suspense and will have everyone on the edge of their seats.

You put the two halves together to make Granny and the armchair before putting her teeth in her mouth, her biscuits on the tray and push her right back so that she ‘goes to sleep’ (her eyes close). When I was at Toy Fair at the beginning of the year I got to see a number of toys and games that would be released in the run up to Christmas. His birthday and Christmas list became quite extensive with the amount of things he saw and wanted so when we were offered the chance to review a Tomy product, I knew I had to opt for Greedy Granny – plus we would get some fun out of it too, wouldn’t we? This interactive junior board game is a valuable educational toy for children from age 4, helping develop motor skills, as well as hand-eye coordination as kids try to steal Granny’s biscuits without being noticed.

Set the game up by fitting Granny’s dentures in place and pushing her back into a reclining position and watch her fall asleep.

PRACTICAL FOR TRAVEL AND PLAY ON THE GO – The unit folds up neatly to provide a handy storage compartment for keeping cards and cookies safe, perfect for taking the game on holiday. BRIGHT COLOURFUL DESIGN – Kids play in rounds, pressing the hunger plunger to set Granny’s eyes spinning. My son has outgrown the game now, so it has been passed on to a local school otherwise I’d send you a photo to show how it looked. In Greedy Granny In a Spin, you’ll set her beady, greedy eyes spinning with a push of the hunger plunger.I was concerned that once Granny was assembled, she’d no longer fit in the box after playing the game. I don't think it will keep his attention for long as he is more interested in waking granny than following the rules but great fun while it lasts. DEVELOPS OBSERVATION AND REFLEXES – Each round produces its own surprises, with children having to look carefully at the contrasting designs and act fast to match the patterns. The aim of the game might sound easy but one wrong move and you could wake up granny and her teeth will go flying. As the outstanding balance, plus the interest now form part of your payable balance they will attract interest at your account rate, meaning you will pay interest on interest.
