 Hard to FlipOct 28, 2007
By Jaclyn R. Mirenda
"Mom of 2"
I bought flippin frogs for my 4 year old knowing my husband and I would be playing the game with him. Well none of us play it because it is soo hard to flip the frogs. I see great potential for this to be an adult drinking game, but I don't believe my son will have the coordination for this game until he is about 7 or 8 or older. My husband and I enjoyed being silly with it, but also had a hard time shooting the frogs. It is not for small children. Also, each player has to be a certain distance away from the game and so it is not a good table game.

 Short-Lived FunApr 30, 2008
By Steve Martin
"(really)"
After seeing the commercials, our 4-year old didn't stop asking for this for his birthday. Before buying it, we asked other parents their opinions, and knew in advance that we'd have to figure out how to store it, since it wouldn't fit back in the box once assembled. We also knew it was a game we'd want to play with him.
After I assembled this game, our son (okay, all of us) had great fun with it for all of fifteen minutes, even though he had no success landing frogs in the tree (I didn't have much luck myself). But before the tenth time around, the sound effects quit, the tree continued to spin even after "popping up," and the smell of burnt plastic became noticeable. Mind you, the loss of sound effects bothered my son more than the rest. Folks seem to be rating the game as durable, so ours must be defective. I still can't recommend it.
I am also disappointed by Mattel's lack of internet service options, and limited calling hours.

 flippin' fun or flippin' frustration!!Dec 11, 2007
By lbskis
We just gave this to our son for his 5th birthday yesterday. I suppose it could be flippin' frustrating for younger kids but our son thinks it's flippin' fun! The concept is easy, but these guys have their own agenda--they don't always stick on the tree which is when the giggling starts (or frustration). We have had Mr Mouth for years, which is a great game but Flippin' Frogs is more challenging. As far as educational, you could make an addition or subtraction game out of it and you certainly learn patience! Now to start Christmas shopping!

Waste of MoneyNov 30, 2008
By M. Curtis
This toy is a waste of money. It is even difficult for adults and older children get the frogs on the tree. Also, the plastic leaves/branches aren't very strong, we have hardly used the game because it is an exercise in frustration, and the plastic is stressed where it connects with the trunk of the tree. It is really hard to push the tree down to set the game, impossible for children. It is also very loud and there is no volume control. It is also akward and difficult to store. Don't make the mistake we did and waste your money.

Very difficult to assembleDec 25, 2007
By Katie Cooks
"katiecalico"
This game is very difficult for a child to assemble, even causing frustration for my teenagers who have spent time trying to help their younger siblings play this game. The tree pops up at the drop of a hat while trying to reset the game for play. I'm afraid this purchase was a mistake. It should be redesigned to be more kid-friendly.
