PlayMonster sent us a copy of Stacktopus for free to play with and review. Opinions are our own.
With everyone being sequestered to their homes and all after school activities cancelled we have plenty of family time and lucky for our kids I have a stack of great games and fun things to do during this time. Case in point, Stacktopus. Stacktopus is a silly game where you stick tentacle fingers on your own fingers. they call them silly sea fingers in the instructions. They go on your thumb forefinger and middle finger. While wearing these you have to try to stack or arrange a set of colorful cups. they could be nested inside each other, stacked on top of each other and so many other combinations. The game is for 1-3 players and can be some very silly fun. I played with Eva and Andy and we had a good time. I just wish that the silly sea fingers would fit my fingers, they were too small for me but this is a game for ages 5 and up. If you have big fingers like me you’re going to have a tough time. Andy had no problem and neither did Eva. They were way quicker than I was at playing this game. My thumb kept falling off.
Look at that concentration from Andy. He was so good at this game.
You can pick up Stacktopus for $17.99 and your kids will have some very silly fun while playing. You can find more information on the game at the PlayMonster website.
Our Saint Patrick’s day started out like most but we were all relaxed and home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are staying home for the foreseeable future and as such have more time to do things together as a family. One of those things is to make breakfast each morning. I was helping Allison out so I made the bacon and pancakes that we had.
Our Leprechaun came and tore through the kids’ trap like butter. He also made the toilets and the milk and pancake mix green. So we had green pancakes for breakfast along with some bacon.
Thekids were not happy that the Leprechaun escaped them another year. They were so sure that they would have caught the guy this time around. Oh well, there is always next year.
The Leprechaun alsso turned the rest of our milk green and it made for a colorful cereal for me. I picked out all the marshmallows to put onto my pancakes.
In the afternoon Andrew and I watched Mo Willems do his Lunch doodles. Andy made a drawing of Gerald the elephant from the Elephant and Piggie books. The Mo Willems series is through the Kennedy Center YouTube channel. Mo is the artist in residence there and his series is excellent so far. There are many artists doing the same thing and I love it. Oliver Jeffers is also doing a series and it is great. You can check out the episode that Andy watched below.
It snowed this morning and was wet all day but later in the afternoon Eva and Andrew played with a new basketball that I had delivered. When it warms up we’ll go to a park and play a bit.
