Friday Giveaway: I CAN DO THAT! Games

Okay, don't panic.  But, I have to tell you something important:  there are less than 6 weeks left before Christmas!  Insanity!  It is pure insanity at how quickly the time flies.  I love, love, love November and December!  I am a total sap for all the traditions surrounding the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  But, isn't it crazy how quickly these holidays can morph into chaos inducing madness? 

We are really, really excited to have some pretty great giveaways lined up over the next month that will hook some of you up with some great toys and gift products that just might take a bit of the chaos out of your Christmas shopping to do list!  And, to kick it off this week we have a giveaway lined up from the super fabulous folks over at I Can Do That! games.  They realize that this holiday season brings some hefty economic challenges for lots of families and are generously going to give away 6 games to our readers!  (This giveaway will end on Friday, November 21st! Do not fret if you missed the deadline, we have a new giveaway every Friday!)

These are really fun games, mamas!  The creators at I Can Do That! know kids. And they know parents. Their Dr. Suess-inspired games get kids up and out of their seats—running, jumping, and following directions. They understand that games for the preschool set need to be simple, engaging, and easy-to-follow. Even better, they seem to have created toys that kids can actually play BY THEMSELVES. Yep, every parents' dream.  We also love that these games are intended to build confidence in our kids!

If you are a Dr. Suess fan (who isn't?), you will love the variety of games offered at I Can Do That!  

We will be giving away 3 Cat in the Hat games, and 3 Horton Hears a Who! games!


  • The Cat in the Hat I Can Do That Game - The high-energy game that combines balancing, jumping, sliding, giggling and more to celebrate your child’s “I Can Do That!” attitude! This is a super silly game that helps foster following simple instructions and confidence as kids accomplish a task!  And, there is sure to be giggling when you have to do the silly tasks with the "trick-a-ma-stick"!  This game has received multiple awards for its greatness!




  • Horton Hears a Who! - Go on a wild adventure to save the Whos! Put on the Horton hat and race around the house to find the clovers where the tiny Whos live. Pick them up with your trunk—then hurry back before time runs out! The player who rescues the most Whos is the winner!  This game has won multiple awards.  




So, to be entered to win one of the 6 games this week, please leave a comment answering this question:

"What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book either from your childhood, or that you enjoy reading with your kids now?"
[this giveaway is closed]

And the winner of last week's "Fall Family DVD Movie Pack" is...

(((Momma Meme)))

Please shoot us an email in the next two weeks so that we can hook you up!

Happy weekend, Mamas!

My children love The Cat in The Hat and also The Cat in the Hat Comes Back :)

The "I Can Do That" game looks perfect for my preschooler and his little brother (who is currently in the "me do it!" stage).

They both also enjoy Horton Hears a Who! and could watch the movie over and over!

Thank you for a great giveaway! I did not know either of these games existed - they look wonderful!

Kathleen said...

I LOVED Dr. Seuss when I was little, and my favorite book was probably Hop On Pop. I loved that it taught me "Timbuktu" and "Constantinople". I enjoy reading it now to my son, and whenever I read those words I remember when my parents used to read it to me.

Thanks so much for a great giveaway!

Heather Kate Mattos said...

I think Green Eggs & Ham was my personal favorite. We read Dr. Seuss EVERY NIGHT over here. My youngest would freak over the Horton game, as she is literally OBSESSED with elephants- doesn't really talk about anything else. I haven't seen that game until now, and we are pretty big on good games.

Always a great giveaway at Mama Manifesto! :)

Ali said...

I am not entering in the giveaway - just leaving a comment. My favorite Dr. Seuss book is "Oh the Places You'll Go!" I love the celebration of life's journey - that there will be highs and lows. And, Dr. Suess pretty much gives me a shout out on the last pay when he says, "So... be your name buxbaum or bixby or BRAY mordecai ALI van allen o'shea..."

Our favorite of the I Can Do That Game series right now is the Horton game. My kids get so excited to put on the Horton "helmet" and they are so stinking cute running back to the game with the little who attached to Horton's nose. I cannot imagine a kid that would not LOVE this game!

hondaray6 said...

We love the Foot Book! I started having the kids stand and listen...and stamp their feet everytime they heard the word foot or feet! What fun! Its almost become a little dance for them and they listen so attentively for a chance to stamp-stamp-stamp! Thanks!

Max, Ava, and Elle said...

In our house we love to read Are You My Mother? It is such a sweet book and my kids have every page memorized. Another favorite is Red Light, Green Light!

hopeshines said...

We enjoy The Foot Book. It has been a favorite for awhile. Thanks, Julie Lawrence

matt+lynds+cam said...

My absolute favorite as a child was Green Eggs and Ham! I probably read it a million times.

Tegan and Tage said...

"Oh Baby the Places You'll Go" is near and dear to our hearts right now as we expect our first little one. He responds to his daddy's deep voice and I love the sweet message the book conveys. You can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss!

Lydia said...

Nothing can beat "Green Eggs & Ham!" Love that book!

Without a doubt, my favorite Dr. Seuss book is "Fox in Socks." My kids' favorite is "Hop on Pop."

What a great giveaway -- thanks for the opportunity and I'm checking into I Can Do That! games (sounds like a great gift, too)!

"Oh, The Places You'll Go"....for sure! My daughter went through a few phases of loving Green Eggs & Ham but I would always bring her back to my favorite. :)

Shannon said...

I really like "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish." I don't really have a great reason--I just really like it. Also, I watched it in Spanish when I was in high school.

Janelle said...

fats82439 said...

if the games are anything like the books, my grandkids will wear them out in a month, they love them so much!

michi said...

Believe it or not,I read my first Dr. Seuss book when I was 28! (for some reason my mom was never a fan) Anyway, I was preparing to move to New York and a friend of mine gave me "oh the places you will go". I remember reading it everywhere(curled up in my bed, during my lunch break, on my way to NY) and wondering how many other fabulous Seuss books I had missed out on. Lucky for me, my girls love Dr. Seuss and I love getting to experience him and his magical world with them.

Shannon said...

Cat in the Hat.

Annie said...

My favourite Dr Seuss book when I was young was Green Eggs and Ham....I always wondered if there really were such things as green eggs and ham in this world somewhere!

Thanks so much! My grandchildren and I would have a blast playing one of these games.

Colorado Shelton Family said...

Cat in the Hat is, of course, an all time favorite from my childhood. I also loved The Sneeches and the one about the mom who named all her sons Dave ( I can't think of the real name of that one!). :-)

My three year old is just now starting to get into them, and so far, One Fish Two Fish is a favorite in our house.

Thanks!
Rachael

Hop on Pop and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Kelly @ Love Well said...

The only Dr. Seuss book we own is "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." (The rest we check out of the library.) And I have to admit - it's not my favorite, because it's REALLY LONG at bedtime. But it is clever.

cathyhall said...

Green eggs and ham is our fave, but we've just bought Hoton hears a who!

Roberta said...

We love the I can read with my eyes shut and my son Dtilll loves reading the ABC book as there are so many great words to read.

rhubbert(at)socal.rr.com

Anonymous said...

I like to read Dr. Seuss's ABC's to my daughter. It really helps me with articulation, but my daughter really likes to help say the letters now that she recognizes them. We go to the library and look for Dr. Seuss books that we haven't read yet, but it's starting to be slim pickings.

My childhood favorite was Red Fish, Blue Fish, but my daughter much prefers The Foot Book, which she knows completely by heart and "reads" along with me. (Counting all of the feet keeps her pretty busy, too.)

I can do that! games are awesome, I want to get them all. For the kids, of course, ahem.

Diaper Cake Becca said...

We have so many favorite Dr. Seuss books....both of my girls regularly pick one out from the stack at bedtime. The ones that gets picked most lately (because it is that time of year) is The Grinch. (But Hop On Pop gets picked a lot, too!!)

I like the Horton game and I think my girls would, too.

Thanks for offering them up to some lucky winners!

This is actually a bit difficult for me. The one I remember most is Hop on Pop, and I still love that one so much. However, my little 2 year old just adores "Are you my momma?" and reading to her brings so much joy to my life! We have four children that I homeschool, and we love all the Dr. Suess books!

We've never tried these games...we live in the country and don't have many stores within driving distance (I actually have never seen them before)but they look like they would be a lot of fun and a great learning opportunity. Thank you so much for such a generous giveaway!

I like that one that goes When Tweetle Beatles battle in a tweatle beatle bottle too - the tongue twister one - but I can't recall the name of that one. It was a lot of fun to read though.
