Toys and Games Reviews of Wild Planet 1 - 2 - 3 Stomp

Customer Review: I wish it were better made!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is such a great concept - a fun way for kids to start learning math! The execution, however, not so great. To play, a child "stomps" on the big button in the middle, thus sending the 10 colorful numbers scattering all over the floor. The toy then asks for certain numbers, and if you get the right answer for all 10 numbers, it makes the next session harder. The first session just asks for numbers, ie find the 10. The second session says "find the number between 3 and 5" or "find a green number". All of this is fantastic. My son was incredibly excited to try this out (he just turned three and is heading into preschool in the summer). He made it through the first round just fine, but in the second round the music really picked up the pace and it repeated the commands over and over again a few seconds apart, creating a sense of urgency to complete it quickly. The problem is that the numbers are made out of cheap plastic, as is the main body of the toy and the connectors that hold the numbers in place. When my son went to put the numbers in quickly, they fell right back out and he couldn't advance to the next command. The way the numbers are made, you have to kind of "hook" them into place by lifting the number up and then sliding it downward. He was so frustrated by the numbers not sticking and the tempo getting faster and faster that after four rounds he said it was no longer fun. I can't blame him! I was getting frustrated myself, and I'm an adult. The little tabs that push the numbers out during the "stomp" also look pretty cheap, and ours has bits of the plastic that are already flaking off.
So, wonderful concept, but I wish the designers had spent a little more time and money creating a more durable, less frustrating toy.

Description of Wild Planet 1 - 2 - 3 Stomp

Keep your keeps kids active with 1-2-3 Stomp, a game that challenges the body and mind. Based on the listen-think-move concept behind award-winning predecessors (Hyper Dash, Hyper Jump and Animal Scramble), this new game is a high-energy alternative to sedentary entertainment. 1-2-3 Stomp is for preschoolers and can be played solo or in teams, indoors or out, and does not require a video screen or electrical outlet. In team mode, players practice cooperation as they work together to achieve a shared score. Varying levels of difficulty keep the games challenging as kids' motor and number skills progress. The game starts with basic color and number recognition and advances to more complex commands.
