Review: Love this game for toddlers! - My toddler is quite literally OBSESSED with this game. I gave it to her for christmas and we played it no lie, 8 time in a row. It's so cute and teaches color matching skills and motor skills. Each player has their own log which has 5 slots for acorns. There are colored acorns. Purple, yellow, blue, red and green. The objective is to get one of each. All of the acorns "live" on the tree, aka you just scatter them in the box because the box is the tree (this is great for keeping acorns contained!). You use the spinner to determine how many acorns you get, what color (if any) you get, or other plays such as stealing an acorn from a player, losing your turn or losing all of your acorns to the wind. If you spin and are able to get an acorn, you use the squirrel tongs to pick it up off the tree and put it in your log. Overall the game is super cute, my daughter isn't quite 3 yet and for the most part understands how to play this game. It's a great introduction to board games for her and super fun. Review: Cute toddler game - Such a cute game for toddlers! My three year old loves the concept and is already picking up on things on his own within a few plays. The game pieces are super cute and it helps with taking turns, color recognition, counting, etc. The game goes pretty quickly most times so it’s good for a toddler’s attention span. He even wanted to play twice in a row which was awesome quality time for us! ## Features - STRATEGY SKILL GAME FOR PRESCHOOLERS: This toddler board game reinforces color learning, encourages strategic thinking, and develops hand-eye coordination, dexterity, & matching skills - HOW TO PLAY: Spin the spinner and use the squirrel squeezer to pick up the matching acorn - but watch out for windstorms and opponents who might snatch them away;

Or 5-2. So many possibilities. **Q: why can`t an 85 year old play this game...why does the recommended age go to 83 years and 4 months?????????** A: I've had that same question when games stop the age at 99. What if you are 100 or older? Is this discrimination? haha **Q: How sturdy are the logs? They appear to be cardboard. Are they?** A: yes, but they are of the same thick sturdy construction of the box. for comparison's sake - take the trivial pursuit box vs. monopoly or chutes and ladders. the latter two end up ripping at the seams and are easily crushed. Trivial pursuit box is much sturdier and holds up. Sneaky Snacky Squirrel (box and logs) are better and stronger than trivial pursuit. if you step on the logs, they'll probably show damage, but form regular handling, not at all. in fact not only are they thick board, they are coated. my son also just got chutes and ladders and it is so cheap and flimsy - this game (SSS) was so well made that it was actually an ooh and aah session when we passed it around. like I said, 4 ppl ordered it once they saw it. If you are considering this game, I recommend it 1000%. and I do mean 1000 **Q: what age is this game for?** A: Manufacturer recommended age: 36 months - 7 years. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this game for toddlers! *by A***R on January 11, 2026* My toddler is quite literally OBSESSED with this game.

It’s super easy for toddlers to learn, and the gameplay is just the right length to hold their attention. It’s fantastic for building fine motor skills—using the squirrel tweezers to pick up the acorns is both fun and great for hand-eye coordination. The game also naturally teaches colors, counting, and taking turns, which makes it a great learning tool without feeling like a lesson. Even older kids (and adults!) enjoy playing along, which makes it a fun family activity. Highly recommend for toddlers and preschoolers! ## Frequently Bought Together - Educational Insights The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Board Game - Educational Games for Kids Ages 3+, Board Games for Toddlers, Gifts for Kids - HABA My Very First Games - First Orchard Toddler Game - My First Orchard Game, Cooperative Toddler Board Games for 2 Year Olds - Made in Germany - Hasbro Gaming Don't Break The Ice Preschool Game, Board Games for Kids Ages 3 and Up --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/261634-educational-insights-the-sneaky-snacky-squirrel-game-toddler-board-games](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/261634-educational-insights-the-sneaky-snacky-squirrel-game-toddler-board-games) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
