Crocodile Dentist by Winning Moves Games USA for 1 to 4 Players, Ages 4+

The poor old croc has a tooth that's bothering him. Pretend to be a dentist and help him out, but be careful - press the wrong tooth and he'll surprise you! This exciting game features snapping jaws that will thrill toddlers and primary schoolers alike. To win, be the only dentist who doesn't rile the crocodile.

No loose parts, no batteries required - it's ready to play right out of the box! Open the crocodile's mouth wide enough so it locks open, then take turns pressing one tooth down at a time. If the crocodile chomps down on you, you're out, and the last player left wins.

The trigger mechanism resets every time the croc's mouth opens, so it's anyone's guess which tooth will snap his aching mouth shut. The idea of a croc chomping down on your finger might be scary, but don't worry - his bite is very gentle. If you're still squeamish, you can use a pencil to press down the teeth.

With a game time ranging between 1 and 3 minutes, this is a perfect activity for kids (or adults) with short attention spans or if you've only got a few minutes to sit down together. There's something about the unknown that is exhilarating and exciting - you might outsmart the croc, or you might get chomped!
