2019 Monsoon with Tigger
Monsoon – the season that brings with it drizzles, showers, bajjis, and loads of fun
There are a few lovely memories of my childhood associated with the monsoon season.
The first monsoon that I remember as a child was probably when I was around 5 years old. Me and my sister would run up with our mom and our aunt to the house terrace to hastily take off the clothes that were hung to dry. Most of…

You may not always be appreciated for all the hard work you put in You may not always get the biggest share of ice cream that you secretly wanted You may not be shown enough love as a mom gets sometimes You may not have seen many firsts as you had to leave your kid(s) behind and go to work You may feel like the family doesn’t agree with you sometimes You may feel like your sacrifices are not even…

The brand Chicco came to India in 2008 and they have gradually become one of the top few chosen brands that parents trust and love. This post is a review of their Monkey Strike Game based on the experiences that I and Tigger (my son) had while playing with the toy. Yes, I do play with his toys too. Mostly with him but sometimes just on my own 😏 I say it is to test the toy but when it is so much fun, who wouldn’t want to play with toys?
Toys are to a child what the Internet is to the Generation X
Remember when the thought of going to a mall meant riding escalating and having fun at the bowling alley. If you are a 90s kid like me, you would be reminiscing those memories now. The heavy bowling ball, trying to figure out what weight suits you, running and skidding on those shiny runways and trying to score a single pin if not a strike. That pure joy in watching the pins tumble down as you finally master how to bowl right. Those are some precious memories. Chicco has brought back those memories in a toddler-sized package in the form of this monkey strike game.
The box contains 6 sets of pins. I say set because the top and the bottom are two different pieces that you put together. The top half has a cute little monkey face in bright colours with ears and the bottom half has a number in the matching colour. (There are so many different ways which Tigger uses them and I will come to it later.) The box also contains a bowling ball with three cute little debts for Tigger’s fingers. The ball is bright red in colour. There are instructions on the box, a separate instruction leaflet and a leaflet with the address and the contact number of their office.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Here are the different ways in which we play with it thus far
Bowling:
Just assemble the monkey pins as you would assemble any bowling pin set. We did it the classic way – 1 pin in the first row, 2 pins in the second and 3 pins in the third row. I tried showing Tigger that he needs to come a little away and roll the ball but he found it more fun to randomly throw the ball at the pins and squeal in joy as the tumbled. He also made sure that any standing in was hit repeatedly till it succumbed to its ultimate defeat.
Stacking up:
One monkey pin was placed on top of another and this we tried to make towers, tall, wide-based, and he even tried to make a giraffe (That is the only thing that comes to his mind when I say Tall). First, it was as a whole set and then he split them into halves and tried making many iterations. He did get a little angry when they didn’t quietly stand strong but wasn’t that an opportunity for me to teach my little one patience, perseverance, acceptance and not giving up? I tried, don’t ask me if he understood.
Colours:
‘The orange monkey is feeling alone… Uhmm is that right? Where is the orange cup? Let’s try to put them together’
‘How about a blue cup and green monkey now?‘ I and Tigger used the toy as a tool to help learn colours
Where is it?
The cups were then used to hide a tiny toy or a smaller ball and I tried asking Tigger to figure out under which cup it was hiding. To my surprise, he found it no matter how many times I switched the cups. So, I naturally asked him to do the hiding and switching. He did so and asked me ‘Ball ennne? (Ball enge means where is the ball in Tamil). But before I could answer, he lifted the cup and showed it to me with even more excitement. The innocence of this little one!
The box itself comes with bright colours and neat instructions on what it can be used for, and other details that assist a curious parent buying a toy. Tigger is the type of kid that loves anything that comes in a box. He plays for a long while with the box itself, throwing things into and out of the box. And since this was a bright coloured sturdy box, he just couldn’t resist himself from playing ‘in-out’ for a long time. This is what I had mentioned in my review of Chicco’s Activity Ball review and I am happy to report this hasn’t changed at all
Other Details:
Targetted age group: 18months+
Price – MRP is Rs 1675
Online – Use this link to buy the same at Rs. 1394 from Amazon
Material – safe and sturdy plastic.
No choking Hazard. Always supervise the child even if it is a peep from the kitchen as the little one plays with his toy in the drawing room.
The monkey strike game was sent to me by the lovely folks behind Chicco, for my honest review. I have written this blog post with my original personal experience and the opinions here are completely unbiased. Do give this toy a chance and you will find yourself agreeing with me.

In My Heart - Tigger Reviews
In My Heart – Tigger Reviews
There are certain topics that are quite easy to explain to a child and a certain other topics that are a little sensitive. A child is naturally curious and bubbling with questions to understand anything and everything better. When a care giver takes the time and effort to sit down and talk to a child about things, a child realizes the importance given to such topics and makes additional efforts…

Jungle Radio - Tigger Reviews
Jungle Radio – Tigger Reviews
It all started with waking up to the Koo Koo of the koel one day. Tigger, just like any other average toddler, always loved running to a lot what the source of any new sound was. He spotted a koel cooing and animated by showed me that he found the source. I promptly told him that it was a kuil (Koel in Tamil) and we both kept making Koo Koo sounds at each other for a while. He had only seen or…

Slap
She was holding the little baby who sat on her lap. She was showing the baby a little car that she held in her hand. The baby suddenly threw up on her hands and started crying. The little one’s mother took her away to wash. She gave herself a look to see if the baby’s puke was spilt anywhere else and was about to get up to wash her hands. At the exact moment, he walked in and threw down the bags…

Work in Progress
Prompt: Why I love being a lenient (I hope so) stay at home mom!
Life was super organized before I was a mom. I woke up at 5 AM, exercised for an hour, made Salad for breakfast, cycled to the office and came back to a similar routine.
That felt really weird to type because that is nowhere near the truth. I was always a last min person. Give me a deadline of 5 days and I will find all my talent…

PROMPT 1: My MANTRA!
Many parents tell their kids to start adulting as soon as they reach their 20s. No kid would have escaped it. But I am pretty sure that most of us dreaded it. Why will we give up all the luxuries of being cared for, and do it all by ourselves, right? Well, now I…

Not so little Sam and Ajnis!
Ajnis was a happy and proud mom of little Sam. She made sure Sam was a respectful, understanding and a kind kid. There weren’t any medals or trophies in her hall showcase, but only pictures of Sam being a typical happy kid who had then become a well mannered, friendly, interested-in-everything-from-coding-to-donating-from-dance-to-master chef level-cooking teen.
One day Sam brought home a friend…
