Toys and Games Reviews of What's in Ned's Head?
Customer Review: Great family fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
We gave this toy to my six-year-old son for Christmas. I researched the top toys of 2003 from Family Fun Magazine and "What's in Ned's Head?" rated #1 for his age range. We've played it a number of times since and made up a few of our own rules to adjust the fun for younger friends. We have a scanner so I've been able to "take pictures" of other little items around the house and place the pictures on the extra blank playing cards then add the actual items to Ned's head. Of course, the ickier the better! I plan on purchasing more for birthday gifts. The kids love trying to guess whats in there and laugh each time they pull out the wrong or right item. I think its a wonderful game to challenge the kids to feel with their fingers and use their minds to see what theyve found. I just opened the game and took a good look at it, the stitching and fiber fill look very secure. The plastic items inside seem durable, though Neds lunch was initially so fascinating it got a bit too much rough play and ripped in the middle. However, that hasnt stopped us from using it and grossing out every time we feel it in Neds Head!Customer Review: Good sensory therapy tool

What's in Ned's Head?
A pretty simple straight forward game. Use your fingers to find the objects on the cards. When you have sensory processing disorder it is a bit more challenging. My 5 year old boy wants to keep peeking because he has trouble with his fine motor skills. The practice using his fingers to find objects helps that part of his brain develop. The yucky things in Ned's head are intriguing enough to keep him in the game even if it is challenging.
The only problem I can see is he will get tired of finding the same 15 objects. There are some blank cards so you can add new stuff. But they need pictures because words won't work at this age. Plus he needs enough visual information to assist in finding the objects. Maybe Fundex should make additional sets that can be added. The head is huge, there is lots of room to expand.
Customer Review: Fun for Five Year Olds
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought What's in Ned's Head for my five-year-old grandson. He saw it in a Christmas toy catalog and asked for it. He enjoys it greatly and it is fun to play with him. It comes with some pretend gross things that little boys love at this age- a plastic dirty diaper or plastic vomit, for instance. I liked that it came with reusable playing cards. He explored my house looking for more little things to put in Ned's head. He found things in the kitchen and toy box. Then we used dry erase markers to draw the new items to add to the game. It teaches the children to feel to identify game pieces. They can't use their eyes or other senses, as they primarily do. I was surprised that my 3-year-old grandchild can not play the game without peeking into one of the holes to see the items. There is much laughter and rolling on the rug in happiness while playing.Customer Review: Fun Game

My girls love gross things and really wanted this. I was very happy with my husband's mother picked this up for them, and we immediately set it up. There are only a few things to put into the head (ours didn't have moldy cheese) such as Ned's Earwax, Dirty Diaper, and a rat. We had a Wiggly Maggot and Itsy Bitsy Spider to add with the blank cards. The blank cards do allow for you to find gross things to put in, which should be easy after a visit to the toy section.
You do need several player for this, because two makes it too easy to find the item in the tent. It does get boring after 5-10 minutes, since there are only a few things in there. It might be more fun once we add more pieces. Overall, this is a fun game for kids. I don't see the girls getting a lot of use out of this unless we have several more pieces to rotate between.
Customer Review: Questionable durability after 1 game. Kids liked it though.
Summary: 3 Stars
We opened this game yesterday on my 5 year olds birthday. The first thing the kids said is that his face has a point in the forehead - the manufacturer put the stablizing rods in backwards (back in front, front in back - it took serious manipulation to switch them around - a 20 minute job). The head is constructed similar to a groovy girl terrific tent (search on amazon), except the front to back rod is separated - I question how much strain the side to side rod can withstand after seeing 8 year olds with both hands in this thing. The point of the game is to find the object on your card. After one single game's play, the cards are pretty much trash. They didn't use very thick cardstock for the cards. Our other pieces haven't yet collapsed as in the previous reviewer. I have concerns that this game won't make it through the next play.
