Advantages: Interactive, family involvement, colourful, easy to play

Disadvantages: Can have problems with battery connections

Jitterbugs is a great game for young children. It comes complete with 4 magnetic spiders making sure that all the family can get involved and have some quality time with the kids. The packaging is nice and sturdy and appeal to the little ones, and the games is a good size for storage.

The aim of the game is to catch your bugs which are 'jittering' about on the vibrating base. Yes you do need to buy the battery, which is a C size, however, i would recommend that if you are buying this as a present you test it first. My daughter has received 2 of these games and on both occasions the connection in the battery compartment was not tight enough which meant that as soon as you put more than 2-3 bugs on the base it stopped shaking which my 3 yr old found quite upsetting. ELC are great though and replaced them free of charge without the receipt.

This a great game for children young and old and worth the money if you can pick up during one of ELC's sepcial offer periods.

Summary: A good purchase as long as it works!
