This motorized matching game for preschoolers will have kids quacking up as the ducks "swim" around the pond. This game is sure to make a splash as kids try to match the duckies for colors and shapes as they "swim" around the motorized pond. Kids will learn color and shape recognition as they play along to the duck sounds. Requires 3 "C" batteries (not included). For 2 to 4 players.

Good for the littluns...Very Simple and very entertaining.
Not much learning happening but certainly makes her eyes light up.
 Kids love it, I hate it! December 12, 2008
E. Minch (Avon Lake, OH USA)
We got this game for my daughter when she was 3; she's now 5. I now have a 2 1/2 year old boy who has since discovered it. Both kids love playing with it, though none of them have really used it as a game. They both just enjoy the ducks and the pond. My daughter makes up little games for the ducks, one is the "mommy" and the others are the babies. My son likes to turn the pond on and off and set up the ducks. So for imaginative play, it has some value for us.
However... this has got to be one of the most irritating toys my kids have. It is so loud and has no automatic shut-off with the sound. My kids never remember to turn it off when they're done playing, of course! My biggest complaint is that I always have a hard time fitting this toy back in its' box to store it. The pond fits easily if you don't store the ducks with it, but who does that? But then when you try to cram all the ducks in the box, the box is so stuffed that it sets that noise off again. I find myself hitting the top of the box to try to turn the game off every time I put this away. And goodness help you if you forget to keep this game on the top of the pile of other games. If any other game or box is set on top of this one, you guessed it, the sound goes off again! I don't know how other people say that they can fit everything back in the box easily - I have really tried! I'm keeping it because the kids do have fun with it, but it will be a happy day when I can get rid of it!!!
Perfect for a 2-4 year old! December 1, 2008

This is one of the first games that we got our young daughters that they were actually able to play with. And play with it they did - incessantly! My four year old still asks for it, "Mom, can we play the duck game???"
As 2-3 year olds, they mostly pick up the ducks off the moving pond and try and match them to the colors on the cards - any cards. Once they get a bit older, they start to understand that everyone gets their own card and the object is to find ducks w/the right color for your card.
Like others have said, my edition is now 4-5 years old and it was unbearably loud. It would have gotten more play if I could've turned the sound down - especially b/c my youngest loved to play it all by herself.
And yes, it does get turned on through the box inadvertantly when we set something heavy on top. But we just learned not to do that!
Highly recommend this as a first game.
Daughter likes it, but AAAGH September 1, 2008
J. L. Callahan (Little Elm, TX United States)
My daughter (2.5 yo) likes to play with the ducks by herself. she prefers this to actually playing the game, although she does know how to play (with a little help from me on the taking turns bit...). I always know when she wakes up from her nap when I start hearing this game quacking away over the baby monitor.
We have several toys that make noise and I can pretty easily tune them out, but I have to say that this one is incredibly annoying. At least it's easy enough to turn on and off!

my two boys enjoy the game (3 and 1 years old)
it is very loud, i read that some older versions had 3 batteries and the one on the right could be removed to stop the quacking. our version has 2 batteries and a mechanical quack, i just finished removing the bellows that was attached to the red "duck call" whistle. I could not figure out how to remove the turn table so I just pushed at the bellows with the screwdriver and it was off. it is not yet back together but i am sure it will be less noisy.
