CLOSED: Chuggington's Traintastic Cargo Game (+ Giveaway)- 2 winners

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

I don't think any of us have forgotten those Dr Seuss goodies from I Can Do That Games. Well
Wonder Forge is 'forging' into 2011 with a whole bunch of new, exciting games for kids and Chuggington's Traintastic Cargo Game is one of them!


The Buzz:

In Chuggington's Traintastic Cargo Game , a trainload of surprises is chugging into the depot! Can you find the right cargo? Look inside the boxcars for the shapes, colors and numbers you need.

But watch out - you never know when Old Puffer Pete will chug around the track and mix up everything! It's a fun game of memory, pattern matching and discovery!

CONTENTS: Game Box with Rotating Train Disk and 8 Boxcar Doors, 4 Game Boards, 30 Vee cards, 32 Cargo Pieces, 1 Game Rules Manual


How to play the game:

To begin with you will need to randomly place the cargo pieces into the boxcar containers, ensuring each container has atleast 2 pieces stored in the same. (You do not need to place an equal number of pieces in each container)


Once this is done, position and place the train disk on the knob, ensuring that Vee's purple light can be seen through the circular signal light cutout.


Then cover the containers with the box cars doors and get ready to play.


Allow the youngest player to pick their favorite Chuggington character for the game


and then get him/her to pick one of the shuffled Vee cards from the pile. Each player follows suit. (Each player's Vee card will indicate the type of cargo he/she will need to collect)


To move around the board, everyone takes turns to spin the arrow, starting with the youngest player again.


The objective of the game is to be the first player to fill his/her Chuggington bogies with the cargo reflected on the Vee card.

* This game will be enjoyed by children aged 3 years and older.*


E.B. Mommy's Report:

Chuggington's Traintastic Cargo Game is now our hot favorite at home. I personally love the game because it's quick and fun but I will add that you may need to play it a few times before your child gets the hang of the game.

It will teach your child to recognize and match shapes, colors and numbers, as well as memorize where he/she may have seen certain pieces of cargo while making that 'spin' around the board.


Warning: If you have babies/toddlers at home I would advise you play this game away from his/her reach. We made the mistake of playing this while seated on the floor and before we knew it Bunny Boo reached out and tried to "taste" two cargo pieces. Thankfully I was right next to him when it happened.
The cargo pieces are tiny enough for a little one to swallow or even choke on. So stay alert!


Buy it:

You can buy Chuggington's Traintastic Cargo Game from ToysRUs for 19.99 US$.


Win it:

Two readers will have the opportunity to win Chuggington's Traintastic Cargo Game



Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

CLOSED: Chuggington Training Yard with Loop Playset (+Christmas Carnival Giveaway #28)

This post is a 'Christmas Carnival' feature...The Carnival of Giveaways (or should I say Christmas prezzies?) on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from November 1- December 5 2010.
For a list of all the live giveaways visit 'The Christmas Carnival Center'

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

They're Chuggeriffic! They're Traintastic!... They're Chuggington Die-cast toys from Learning Curve!

If you have a little Trainee at home who loves honkin' his/her horn with Wilson and racing round the tracks with Koko then the Chuggington Training Yard with Loop Playset will get a big 'bumpers up' this Christmas.

Now many people think trains are just for little boys but this playset is different. The Chuggington Training Yard Loop Set is just as fun for your little girl as it is for your little boy. (Ask Bunny girl!)


The Chuggington Training Yard Loop Set features:

• An action-packed playset!
• Engines that plummet down spiral track!
• An exciting 360 loop!
• A motorized engine launcher
• A die-cast Wilson engine and Vee figure. (We were sent Wilson and Koko much to Bunny girl's delight as Koko is her #1 Chugger)
  

We set up the tracks on our carpeted floor and for a while thought we were doing something wrong when the 'D' batteries didn't seem to trigger any 'train whooshes'.



Thankfully I thought I'd try the set out on our tiled floor and .....((Honk!Honk!)).... It worked!



I have to admit that Hubby and I had as much fun watching Koko zip around the tracks, 'Woop-De-Roll' around the loop and then zoom out onto our floor.



We did try hooking Wilson and Koko together to see if they could spin around the loop together but our Chuggers snapped apart and stubbornly decided to stay put. So we decided Koko could ride the rails first and then Wilson could follow after!

Do I think your Trainee will enjoy this?
If he/she loves trains and loves Chuggington....then you just can't go wrong with the Chuggington Training Yard Loop Set.

Wheels to the rails!


Buy it:

You can buy a Chuggington Training Yard Loop Set for 39.99 US$.


Win it:

One reader will have the opportunity to win a Chuggington Training Yard with Loop Playset.


Here's how you can win it:
