Hasbro Elefun
This enchanting activity game will keep younger kids happily distracted, whether it's played indoors or out. A cute, blue elephant blows 30 feathery, vinyl butterflies from its 4-foot trunk into the air. The trunk, made of flexible plastic, stands straight up when the small, quiet motor in the elephant's bottom is turned on. Kids use mesh nets (four included) to capture the most butterflies, same-color butterflies, or just catch 'em period. Requires four C batteries, not included. --Diane Beall
Like all the other bad reviews, this toy does not work properly.
You turn this on and a few butterflies pop out of the trunk but then the rest just sit in the base and and swirl around. So sad considering this was a birthday gift!! We will be returning this for her to pick out another present!
This toy is terrible
The idea of the toy is great, but this toy is terrible. You have to buy the most expensive batteries available (about in batteries) and then the toy works bad at best. The fan only blows a few butterflies out at a time and most didn't come out at all. This game needs a plug to get energy from a wall socket to make it work. I would love to return this hunk of junk, but not sure the store will take it back after I've assembled all the nets etc . . . This toy was a HUGE disappointment for the kids and parents as well. Save your money and throw paper in the air . . . I tried to take the toy to a consigment store and they wouldn't take it! Goodwill here we come!
Kids love it but it battery life is VERY poor!
My 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 year olds love this game however; it goes through batteries like crazy! Each set of batteries we put in it lasts for about 6-7 times of play before the fan becomes weak and slows down...then the kids have to wait and wait for the last several butterflies to "fly" out. The only suggestion we have for this game is that it REALLY needs to be made with the option to be plugged in!!
Ele NOT Fun
This is a terrible toy, most of the butterflies do not come out of the elephants snout, they get stuck, and when the occasional one does escape, it doesn't float long enough for a younger child to actually grab it.
Huge Disappointment
I purchased Elefun for my young niece for her upcoming birthday. Thank goodness I opened the game and put it together to see how it works. I was completely disappointed because the fan power was only enough to send one or two butterflies out of the trunk at a time, (with lots of time between)if at all. The fan power was not nearly enough to send a burst of butterflies out of the trunk as shown in the pictures on the product box. I feel this product was misrepresented and I would have been embarrassed if my niece had opened it for her birthday. Save your money and buy something else, this game is a huge disappointment.
