Hasbro Gaming Crocodile Dentist Kids Board Game, Ages 4 And Up (Amazon Exclusive)

As a speech therapist, my kids love this game. An easy reinforcer and the size is perfect as it’s not the miniature version.

A classic, and my two and four year old girls love it. It is one of the main toys in their rotation going a year strong.

Super cute game for young children ! The best part is there’s no pieces for them to lose !

I just gave this to my son on Christmas, yesterday, and we’ve played it so many times. The quality is fine, clearly cheap plastic from China, but that doesn’t Take away from the fun. It requires no assembly and is ready to take turns around a table with even 80yr old grandpa. So fun. Highly recommend!

We love this game! My 4 year old and 20 month old play together and the anticipation is hilarious!

Bought this for our grandson to replace another brand that we purchased recently (that broke within a week of him opening the box).This brand is sturdier, and our grandson enjoys it. My only complaint is that our grandson (4) has figured out that when he presses the tooth slightly, he can feel the resistance and know whether that is the tooth that will trigger the crocodile's mouth to shut! Takes coaching for him to play fair.I bought a crocodile dentist for my son 30 years ago. The child removed each tooth with a set of dentil plyers. It survived his play time plus that of my preschool students, who used it one week a year (for 9 years) when we were studying community helpers. Am hoping to find one of the older version on Facebook Marketplace or e-bay. Manipulation of the dentil plyers strengthened the child's hand and improved ability to hold and use scissors. Wish these would come back on the market!

This is a great game for teaching turn taking and is simple enough for young kids to learn, as well as exciting for the older kids. I have used this game with my 2 year old daughter and also with my kids in speech therapy. I agree with some of the other reviewers who stated that the game is so simple that it can lose some of the fun after a certain amount of time, but if you change up the game play you can make the fun last longer. My daughter eventually grew tired of the game, so I changed the rules a couple of times and we ended up playing the game even longer. The basic game play is that each player takes a turn pushing down a tooth and hoping it doesn't cause the croc to bite down. Here are the other ways to play:1. Have one person push the teeth down and count how many teeth it took to make the croc bite down. Once all players have gone, you can talk about the number of teeth each person had to push down or decide whoever pushed down the most teeth is the winner.2. Each person takes a guess how many teeth it will take to make him bite down. You can play by having each person take a turn or only have one person push down teeth at a time. Whoever guessed the closest to the number of teeth it took to make the croc bite is the winner.3. Guess the exact tooth that will make him chomp. In this version you WANT to make the croc bite and if you pick the right/"sore" tooth you are the winner. Each turn, the player takes a guess as to which tooth he thinks is the "sore" tooth and then pushes it hoping he makes the croc bite down. Keep playing until you make the croc bite down.I also wanted to add, if your kid is scared about it hurting when the croc bites down, you can use a popsicle stick or something similar to push down the teeth. I have used this method with kids in therapy who want to play, but are too afraid of the bite. Once we have played a couple of times with the popsicle stick, they eventually try the game with their fingers and realize that it doesn't hurt.

Great game for young and older.
