Yes I remember my first Barrel of Monkeys. I was about 5 years old and was amazed by my red Barrel of Monkeys. This product is a small plastic barrel, which serves as the carrying case for several tiny monkeys. The object of the game is to connect the tiny monkeys together in a chain by either their tails, arms, or legs. It is a lot cheaper than other games, and the rules are simple.
Children can play without someone else always having to play along and explain the rules.
Also, this game does not make any loud noises. It is a nice quiet game for children to play while mommy is doing some work or while baby brother or sister is taking a nap. I recommend this game for children ages 4-5, because it takes a little coordination to connect all the monkeys.
