(Sherwood Park AB, Canada)  As a Parents’ Choice Award winner, Hape is honored to be recommended for our Pallina Original Game. This game comes with high entertainment value and low environmental impact! The Pallina Original is made with bamboo from environmentally sustainable forests and designed to not only be eco-friendly, but a fun family activity.

The Pallina Original (MSRP $39.99) bamboo tumbling ball game is perfect for parties and family game night. This game comes with the Pallina Bamboo Basket, 20 bamboo sticks in 4 colors, 16 wooden balls in 4 colors, and 1 purple felt mat to play upon. To start the game, place the 20 colored tipped bamboo sticks through the basket to create a solid barrier, then pour the 16 wooden balls on top. Can you pull out a stick without any of the wooden balls falling down?

This fun game can be played in many different ways to suit all skill levels.

·         Level 1 challenges players to roll the die and extract the color of the stick shown and collect the balls that fall.

·         Level 2 challenge is to choose and collect balls of a certain color.

·         Level 3 is won by the player with the last ball left in the basket.

Compete with friends over who drops the fewest balls or play by yourself and see how many sticks you can collect.

Challenge and excitement awaits young players with the Pallina Original. This game is appropriate for ages 3 and up, and introduces logic, spatial relationships, strategic thinking and an understanding of cause and effect. Hape toys stimulate children through every stage of development and help nurture and develop their natural abilities. Durable child safe paint finish and bamboo construction make this a toy any child will love for years to come.
