Panda Game

The object of this game is to push the lit buttons as quickly as possible and then push down on the board to signal that you’re done. Mikey loves it!

Man, he’s good at that!

Sometimes, it’s best to limit the amount of time your kids can play these types of games. Although they’re fun, they are intense and require a great deal of focus. If it goes on for too long, Mikey gets irritable.  One suggestion might be to set a timer for a few minutes and then move on to another preferred activity.
