Melissa & Doug Verdie Chameleon Beanbag Toss

I debated this purchase based on the negative reviews, but I am glad I took the chance. I have one child so most things require us to play with her. This is no exception. I purchased this for 3 3/4 year old daughter. I've used it inside on carpet and hardwood floors as well as outside on a concrete patio, on the grassy area and non-grassy (dirt) area but not in wet mud. It is easy to shake off dry dirt, works well on the patio, and indoors. It is lightweight which makes it easy for little ones to move around but if you have strong breezes outside, you may want to weigh it down to keep it in place. I can't report how well stains would come out of the fabric since ours hasn't experienced this issue yet. It seems well-made and is really easy to transport. Whether you go out into your backyard or walk to a park, it is easy to carry using the handle or under your arm. If you walk with it to your destination, you could even easily fashion a shoulder strap for it. One review seemed disappointed that the beanbags were not filled with beans. The beanbags are filled with some sort of small round pellets smaller than a bb size. I squeezed them and they remain hard. The bags do not hurt when they are thrown at you. Some reviews are disappointed with the size of the beanbags, mine are slightly larger than daughter's palm. My daughter is 41" tall and 40 pounds. The beanbags store inside a netted pouch that also has velcro closures. It is located on the end panel that connects the two printed panels together and when the item is in closed state the beanbag storage pouch is enclosed inside underneath the end panel. When I first received it and was removing the packaging, I thought the beanbags were missing until I fully opened it. It is easy to assemble with two ties that loop through the end panel and one printed panel and secure with velcro. When assembled, the beanbag storage pouch is on the inside of the structure. It looks like the picture and is colorful. It is fabric and I imagine it could be damaged with instruments that cut or could poke holes through the fabric. I didn't want a wood item so for us, the fabric works really well. For storage, it could easily slide under or behind a piece of furniture. The beanbags are numbered to match the yellow panel, which is the easiest side for my daughter to ring the holes. It lays flatter to the ground (more horizontal) than the blue side which is in a more standing vertical position. However, you could use the blue printed side as a horizontal toss as well, the print on the panel may just appear as if it were printed upside down. The beanbags come in two different shades of blue that would work well for two player games. The even numbered ones are a darker shade than the odd numbered ones. They have a number on one side and a dragonfly on the other. Currently, my daughter has to stand close to ring the blue side. Bean bag tosses are challenging for little ones anyway so from a learning and coordination perspective (knowing where to stand and how to throw to land the bag into the hole) it is good to help her build those skills. She does get frustrated when they don't land in the holes, but I view this as a great learning opportunity too to help her understand those feelings as well. I'm not one of those moms that believes everyone deserves a trophy just for playing. While it doesn't matter to me if she wins or loses, I can't allow her to be a sore loser. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. My daughter isn't destructive or hard on her toys. Since she is an only child, her dad and I play with her and take turns tossing the bags. It has held up well for the month we have owned it and is played with daily outside. We store it inside or in a covered area outside. We have also used the beanbags to toss around on child-sized tennis rackets, used the rackets to toss the beanbags into the holes, used the beanbags on the trampoline to see if they move when she jumps, used them for counting and ordering, played games such as toss the number 1 bag into the number 1 hole, called the hole like in billiards (now I will toss this one into the number 3 hole), had everyone toss into the same hole during a round, tried to juggle with the bags, tossed the bags to each other playing catch, and used small balls to toss into the holes. Then there's the game she loves the best which is for every one she misses, she has to burn off energy (she loves this and will run to the fence, jump in place, ride her trike, etc.). Her aim gets better when she doesn't want to run around, mom is happy when she gets the wiggles out, and the game gets used often.

Had this game since I think 2016. Honestly... I was surprised to see negative reviews. We are a family of 5 (8, 5, 1 and parents) and for the price it is 100% worth every penny. We love to play this with our kids. A little friendly competition everybody enjoys and doubles up for some good family time. Can be used indoor or outdoor and great game/activity for children's parties. Pouch to store bean bags holds tight so they do not get lost. Never had an issue and I would buy it again if we lost it. Are the bean bags smaller than I thought sure, but check the measurements if ur are concerned they are too small. They are well made as well as the pockets and no weakness in the fabric. If I could make the purchase icing on the cake, One request would be the option to purchase with more bean bags. Family of 5 it can be difficult to share. 😆 You won't regret this purchase. If the multiple options of targets are too small as some have said.. well... PRACTICE makes perfect. #Hand eye coordination

Once again M&D makes great products! I had previously bought another Beanbag toss and returned it as soon as it arrived. This one is very sturdy ( My daughter has stood on it and it pops right back up into shape ). The bags are fairly light, but usable. They have a cute little bug printed on them. You can use either side to toss into, laying down or standing up. It has a built in storage pouch for the bags (8) which is an awesome feature, and it folds up for easy storage. Overall, we love this toy.

This bean bag Toss game has well thought out design and storage. It's pretty strong while being bendy, folds for storage and has a storage slot for the bean bags. It's two sided, so you can make it harder or easier for the kids. It's fairly challenging to get the little bean bags Into the holes. That is my one and only complaint. if the holes were just a little bigger the bags would fit better, making the kids more successful at accomplishing the task and lower frustration. That said, it's adorable, and I like that it encourages movement, gross motor skills, hand eye coordination, ect. It travels well and can be used either in doors or outdoors. The bean bags are pretty small, so not for under 3 years old I believe. I do recommend this for families with kiddos 3 to 5.

Cute game for educational purposes, coordination & fun. I wish my daughter took more of an interest in it! Huge con in my opinion are the bean bags...Super small & extremely lightweight!! Very difficult for them to sink down in the holes properly. You have to throw really hard or walk up & manually place them in the holes,which aren't very big themselves either.(could be alot wider). I love most of Melissa and Doug products as my daughter owns a ton of their line but some products they design,I am not quite sure what they were thinking during production..? :/

This game is awesome!!!! I bought it for my daughter as a Christmas gift and it is amazing! I see a lot of reviews complaining about how it's impossible to get the bean bags into the holes. You people must suck at this game, it's actually very well constructed and my daughter and I can get the bean bag in from across the room. She's four years old. We've got hours of entertainment from it and we love it! It's a big family favorite now! I don't see how you could get tired of it, stay off your phone and create new challenges with it, keep score, try at different distances, etc. It's exactly what I would expect from a game like this.

This was a Christmas present for our two year old boy. We were looking for something we could play together while we're stuck indoors for the winter. I'm glad we got this because it's a lot of fun. It comes with small bean bags, but we use a lot of toy balls, too. I think my husband and I like it better because we managed to make a competition out of it. It also folds back up and can be stuck in a closet/under the couch/etc. Lots of fun!

I was worried about buying this type of material vs. a wooden one but it works well. It holds up to my 2 and 5 year olds and I love that you can put it vertically or horizontally (one is easier than the other). It has a pouch to hold the bean bags and folds down with velcro to hold it in place. The bean bags are very small which is great for little hands. I'm not sure about having it outside on an uneven surface but for inside it's great.

pour donner en cadeau

Jeder Treffer macht Spaß: die Bienen bei den kleineren und die Punkte entsprechend der Zahlen bei den größeren Kindern. So ist das Spiel vielseitig einsetzbar.

Very sturdy construction, great bean bag size for younger kids, two options for level of difficulty. Storage pocket is great to keep the bags with the game!

It is OK. Just like in the picture. I wasn't expecting it to be so small, and the holes are very small, which makes it tough for the little bean bags to go in easily when throwing. Overall it works fine for what I need.

Didn't have any bean bags inside:(
