Don't Step in It! Preschool Game

What's in the box

• 2-sided Animal Tracks spinner with 8 animal moves
• 4 cans of soft compound and a plastic poop mold
• Easy-to-clean floor mat plus a blindfold for the walker
• Solo play and an advanced spin-around option
• For 1 or more players, ages 4 and up

How it plays

First the kids press soft compound into the mold and dot the mat with little piles. Then a player spins the Animal Tracks spinner, lands on one of eight moves — hop like a frog, stomp like an elephant, go slow motion — slips on the blindfold and sets off across the mat. Fewest squished piles wins.

It is silly on purpose, and that is why it works at birthday parties, playdates and rainy afternoons. Kids four and up can play alone or in a crowd. For a tougher round, a grown-up spins the walker three times first.
