Kids will get a huge kick out of Chameleon Crunch because the chameleon is wackadoo! Get ready for zany, silly fun with this new Mattel game for preschoolers where players race to feed him bugs.
Two Ways to Play:
Bug Crunch – players select an insect type (grasshoppers, ladybugs, dragonflies, or butterflies)
Color Crunch – players select a certain color (blue, green, red, or yellow)
Just spread the insects out on the floor, turn Chameleon on and watch him scurry, talk and make goofy sounds as everyone tries to feed him all their bugs.
His mouth opens and shuts so you have to be quick, and sometimes he’ll spit the insects back out as a surprise! When he stops moving, whoever has the most bugs in his mouth wins.
I tried the game on both hardwood floors and on carpet, and I was surprised how well it still moved on carpet. I think I may have even liked playing it there more! It’s a really active, frenzied game and super fun!
Buy It! Chameleon Crunch can be played with 2-4 players, ages 4 and older. 3 AA batteries required. Available at nationwide toy retailers and Amazon
Stocking Stuffer Games
Apples to Apples Dice Game – Players rotate as the judge by rolling a letter on the green die making up an adjective starting with that letter. Then the judge rolls the red dice, and players race to choose one of them and say a noun that starts with the letter on the die they chose. The judge awards a green chip to the noun that makes the best comparison.
The first one to get 5 chips wins the game. (3 players)
UNO Dice Game – On this two-player twist of the popular game, dice take the place of cards. Each player starts with five dice, and the one remaining die is placed in the center of the play area to act like a discard pile.
The first player rolls their dice and tries to match either the number or color of the UNO starting die. If they have a match, they add it to the line and the next person rolls and tries to match. Play continues until one person has just one die left. They have to say “UNO!” or be penalized by having to draw one or draw two dice.
The first person to get rid of all their dice wins the game!

I’m not sure which of these two games I like better, so I refuse to choose one. They both translate to a dice game really well, and the twist on the clasic rules is a lot of fun. I also like the fact they store in their own small and portable cans because I often bring games with me when I travel.

Looks like a lot of fun!

Such cute games! We’re always looking for gift ideas for my husband’s young cousins, so I’ll have to keep an eye out for these.
my daughter is right at that age where she is starting to love games like this (she’s 4). I’m right at that age where I see all those pieces and cry.

This looks like such a fun little game my daughter would love playing.

Those games all sound fun. They would be great gifts for my nieces and nephew.

That looks so fun, the Chamelion Cruch is a great idea for little man.
I like when board games evolve (the Uno game) to other types of play. This looks like something my daughter could get involved in.
I haven’t seen Uno in forever. Looks like cute play games. Thanks for the information.

cute games – I think the more you interact with your kids, the more they gain confidence.
All of it is so cute especially the Chameleon!!

Those all look like great games! I just snagged Chameleon Crunch- it was on sale for $8.99! I can’t wait for my little dude to open it on Christmas morning, he’s going to LOVE it!
I think my grandson Jack, age 4 would like this game- he’s into bugs right now- there’s a spider web in his room and he thinks that he has a pet spider.
LOVEEE uno!
That chameleon game looks so fun! I think my son’s at the age where he can “get” games (you know, versus just throwing pieces around the room?). This might make it’s way into our house on Christmas morning!
I love the Chameleon Crunch game! It would be perfect for my younger girls. 🙂
I LOVE the Chameleon crunch game! That looks like a lot of fun, and it’s not too expensive. I will definitely look into that for my kids!

I would like to try the Uno Dice. It looks like a lot of fun, and I am already a big fan of regular Uno.
My kids are currently obsessed with all things bugs. Chameleon Crunch would be the perfect stocking stuffer for them!
I saw those can games the other day at work. I bet my nephew would love them. That Chameleon Crunch looks adorable. I think my niece would be just the right age for that! I think she’s 6! =) We’ll be seeing them next week so I needed some ideas!
I know a couple of little kids that would enjoy these on Christmas Day 🙂

Chameleon crunch would be a fun one to play with the kids i babysit.
I bet my girls would love that Chameleon Crunch game!
The Chameleon Crunch game looks like a fun and colorful game for preschoolers. It is hard to find good games for this age range. The Apples to Apples Dice Game and Uno game would be great for older children to play and small enough to take along when traveling.
I’ve never played that crazy lizard game but it looks hilarious! We love UNO and Apples to Apples around here, so I can think of several stockings those would go great in!
Oh my gosh I love Apples to Apples. I’m going to have to check out their dice game.
We love Apples to Apples Board Game, I’ll have to check this version out.
Those look like very fun games. Do you believe I have never played Apples to Apples? My daughter wants the full game for Christmas. Those look like great travel games, or for our camping trips! Thanks for sharing 🙂

What.. Apples to Apples Dice game?! This would be perfect to pick up for my sister to bring along on our trip… its a family favorite game and this is nice & small to travel with. So glad I saw this post today! My kids love Uno too, so I may have to look for that too.
I have never heard of any of these games (Uno Cards yes, but not dice) but know the children would love them. I only wish they would take care of games better!
I’ve never seen Chameleon Crunch before! I think my youngest would love it!
Mattel has some of the neatest games, not only for kids but for adults, too 🙂
I do quite love my Apples to Apples game! I’d be interested in seeing how the dice game works.
I am a HUGE gamer. Balderdash is one of my favorites. It’s mainly an adult game but it’s downright hilarious to play with the kids.
These look like such cute games! My kids would love these!
Chameleon Crunch sounds like a very fun game. We are fans of Uno and Apples to Apples, I have to check these out. These would make great stocking stuffers!

All of those games look like fun. We love to play Uno around our house.
Oh Zoe would love the chameleon Crunch, fun. I had no idea there were dice games for our favorite card games!
What a fun game! I just rounded up a bunch of games and am taking them to the charity drive down the street. I wish I had this one too!

OMG! I’m throwing Emma a Tangled b-day party. That chameleon game would be perfect! Wish I knew about it sooner.
These all look fun but I love the dice one more!
I want to introduce a new game to my kids.
Oh, my goodness. The kids would love the Chameleon game (ok, I admit that we would, too). Looks like fun. Can I just say that we will absolutely run out and buy Apples to Apples Dice? My husband and I are big board game fans and we always want to play Apples to Apples, but usually it’s just the two of us playing. This is the perfect solution !
How fun! That Chameleon makes me think of the beginning of Curious George the movie. There’s a Chameleon that changes all kinds of colors in the beginning. I love Chameleons!
I was thinking of getting apples to apples for my boys. I am trying to encourage more game playing – great turn taking skills for autistic kids (actually all kids) to learn.
These look like so much fun! My 6yr old daughter is addicted to Uno and I think she’d love the dice version.
What a great collection of games! My kids would love those. They already love traditional Uno and Disney Apples To Apples so I’ll have to add these to their lists.

Oh… I missed the stocking stuffer games. Well how cool are those. I am headed over to see what other games they have.
My Grandson would really like this. This looks like such a cute game.
My oldest would get a kick out of the bug crunch! Too cute.
I love Apples to Apples I’d probably pick that one first….but both are great games for any age!
