Pros: cute, easy to play, no reading or writing
Cons: 4 C batteries required, batteries drained quickly, son got frustrated with
Summary: My son saw the game Elefun on TV and wanted it. I should have gone with my first instinct that it looked like it would be fun for a few minutes but the novelty would quickly wear off. He kept asking for it so it was purchased for him. ...

Pros: Takes no time to learn; Kids like it at first
Cons: Takes too long to get going; Batteries die quickly; Motor too weak
Summary: Do your children like to play games? Mine love them, and like most children in the under five age category, they like games that offer action more than any other type of game. One game that does have some movement is Elefun, a butterfly catching ...

Pros: Good replay value, great for 3 year olds.
Cons: Needs more butterflies
Summary: First, I've gotta say I have NO IDEA what people are complaining about with this toy. How it works:The elephant has a plastic trunk (it's quite tall when extended - maybe 4 feet?) that is flexible. It easily just ...

Pros: cute to look at
Cons: makes your kid cry
Summary: Neither of my kids are toddlers anymore, but when my now preteen was in her terrible twos (or thereabouts) we bought her this game. It is really a great idea and so very cute, but it doesn't work at all how it's supposed to. The butterflies all launch ...

Pros: Fun, colorful, develops hand/eye coordination, gets kids moving
Cons: fan needs to be stronger, requires too many batteries, constant set-up/clean-up
Summary: Elefun is a popular game for preschoolers and really has an adorable concept. Children will enjoy the game as long as they have a willing adult to help them but unfortunately that becomes more of a challenge than you might expect. Contents of the box: ...

Pros: Good for developing gross/fine motor skills among other skills; gets kids moving;
Cons: price; game lasts only seconds; nets tear easily; kids run into each other;
Summary: Parents listen up. Toy maker Hasbro had something else in mind when they designed and created the game Elefun. I think it just might have been a conspiracy to either drive parents over the edge or get some of us in shape. Regardless I can ...

Pros: Fun concept; involves being up and moving; colorful; kids have fun while it lasts.
Cons: Game ends quickly; must be assembled over and over again.
Summary: I bought this game to play with my little cousins, Kaylie (age 5) and Luke (age 2-1/2). They were both excited to play with it... but it was hard for them to wait patiently while I unscrewed the battery compartment, put the nets together, etc. (If you ...

Pros: Colorful, cute, good concept
Cons: Weak fan/motor, lots of pieces to lose, needs repeated assembly
Summary: I bought the game Elefun for my son last Christmas who was five at the time. He had seen the game on a commercial and begged me to buy it for him. I have to admit that even I thought it looked like a lot of fun when I watched the commercial. ...

Pros: Easy to play, quiet, cute, great game for young children.
Cons: Very quick play time...matter of seconds, pieces easily lost.
Summary: My daughter received the Elefun game for her third birthday. She is now 4 1/2 and still plays with it every time she has friends over to play. She even plays with it when she's by herself. I'd say it was a pretty good investment. That said.... ...

Pros: Great fun for the children, trying to catch the butterflies!
Cons: Too expensive for what it is, fan is not strong enough.
Summary: Starting about October, our 3 year-old kept talking about this "elephant" he saw on television. Finally, one day we were both in the same room at the same time and I saw the Elefun commercial for the first time. The game looked cute, pretty harmless ...

Pros: Kids generally do like it.
Cons: It's expensive to buy, operate, maintain. Requires lots of adult intervention. Not much fun.
Summary: This item turned up on a kid's list prepared by a mom (my sister). I'm not sure what the heck she was thinking. This is not a very good game. You can get it for $15 at Wal-Mart. The game consists of a fan shaped like a sitting elephant and a blue ...

Pros: Fun to catch the butterflies, kids don't have to sit
Cons: Needs strong batteries, not durable
Summary: This is one of my 5-year-old daughter's favorite games. She has asked for Elefun every time we went through the toy isle for a year now and although I thought it looked really neat I didn’t think it would be worth the $20 price tag (and it's ...

Pros: Quiet & easy for the kids to operate it by themselves.
Cons: Trunk too long. Nets can fall apart easily. Motor not strong enough.
