Gift Guide: Slooooks! (Review and Giveaway) CLOSED

"Spin the spinners to determine the color and the first letter of the object you will seek. Flip the timer and start looking. If you find it before the timer runs out, slide open one of the eyes!"
Going to the doctors was always a little scary when I was a kid. My mom helped pass the time while we sat in the waiting room by playing I Spy and we loved it!
I received Slooooks! to review and was very excited to play it with my family! Slooooks! is the game of I Spy but with a twist!
Slooooks! comes with a colorful, fun playing board, which has pictures of people wearing sunglasses, a timer, and two spinners attached to the board. One spinner has colors and the other has letters.
The game is very simple, first you choose an area where you want to play. This can be anywhere you want to play. Then each player chooses an eye color. You then spin both spinners and look for an object that is the color your spinner is on and starts with the letter you landed on. You have until the timer runs out to find an object, and if you do, you get to flip open one of your eyes! When all of your eyes are open you win!
The board is so fun and can be brought with you anywhere. It folds nicely in half, with a magnet holding it together. The only pieces is the timer, and it loops into the elastic for easy storage. My daughter had a blast playing with me and asks to play it often. She is a little young so we only played with the color spinner. We would spin it, then we would take turns looking for something that was that color. She knows most of her colors, but I can see her brain working hard as we play, so it's definitely great for her!

Other fun games to play:
1. Speed Slooooks! See how many objects you can find before the timer runs out. Then open up that many eyes instead of one.
2. Challenge Slooooks! Everyone plays at the same time. The first person to find an object opens an eye.
3. Mind Slooooks! Spin the spinners, then flip the timer and instead of looking for an object, use your brain to come up with 3 correct items before the timer runs out. If you do, open 1 eye.

There are several things you can do with this game, it's definitely a game your kids will love!
