Doesn't last long.. Posted 19 November 2008
Like all those games you wanted when you were a kid and saw the cartoon on tele, then then box was great and it was so exciting,until you played it.When you realised that it was just a load of cheap plastic and paper.
Its disappointing, the butterflies are bits of twisted wax paper which got wet or lost, it makes an unpleasant noise and its all over in less than a minute. In fact I've just thrown it out.
Great Quality and Fantastic Fun. Posted 28 October 2008
This is a great activity toy. It's one of those few toys that are well worth the money and get lots of use. My under 6s find it hilarious and although the game doesn't last very long they are so enthusiatic about playing it again they have no problem collecting up the butterflies, setting it up and starting again. I can't think of any other games where they are really happy to tidy up like this.
Parental help is required when loading the butterflies - you have to disconnect the nose hose at the base in order to put the butterflies in again. There is no way children can get their fingers stuck in the fan that blows out the butterflies and it has a great safety feature where the fan cuts out if the elephant is lifted up.
It is a well made toy. The hose is sturdy and has lasted 3 years+ without needing any kind of repair. I haven't noticed it eating batteries either. They seem to last a long time.
Most of the butterflies do come out pretty fast and furious but there are usually a few stragglers you 'hear' rising up the tube which adds to the anticipation of catching them. The butterflies don't fly far from the Elefun so there is usually a good chance of catching 2-3 butterflies. Especially if you hold a net in each hand. My children are equally happy trying to collect them with their hands though.
It's a really fun game and highly recommended for young children.

Well we have not had the problem others seem to mention regarding butterflies getting stuck. We have played this many times with our 1 & 3 year olds. They love it, yes it's over quickly but at least our 1year old can join in and we make putting the butterflies back into another game. We race to collect as many as possible or count the colours etc.. We play different games too on the main game, eg collect any colour or each player collect a specific colour.
Doesn't last long enough! Posted 17 January 2008
When we first got this game, the batteries we used weren't new so they weren't powerful enough to blow the 'butterflies' out. I purchased some new ones, and they are so powerful that almost all the butterflies fly out at once, with a couple stray ones at the end. It's very boring to keep having to switch it off and replace the butterflies/trunk, switch on.
A bit disappointing.
