This game is very easy to set up and play. It's very simple to play and doesn't require batteries. Also, you don't have to worry about reading (other than the instructions ).
The zits are squishy and have great quality , my kids love them. You pull the zit from wherever indicated and the size of the zit determines the amount of points you receive (there are three different sizes of zits) . Very simple for sure!!! The goal is to get as many pimples possible without popping the mega zit. It's definitely very entertaining and my family absolutely loved it. You will get wet if you 'pop' the mega zit, so be careful. 😂😂The instructions are simple to follow. You just fill the plunger, pull back the mechanism till it clicks, put plunger in till it locks in place (it will make a snap noise) , push the red lever down. . Repeat once the mega zit pops. Keeps family entertained .I would recommend this game; great quality, simple and fun to play, no batteries, no reading , entertaining!!! Just be sure to keep a towel on hand for the water.

SITUATION:
I am not a baby, but was born with sensitive skin. For years I tolerated itchy scalp. After awhile, my ears also started itching. My doctor suspected I was allergic to my shampoo and suggested switching to another type. I tried several shampoos over the last couple of years, but nothing solved the problem. I was prescribed medication for my ears, but preferred a preventative approach.
WHAT ARE Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate?
My online research revealed that many shampoos contain an ingredient called Sodium Laureth Sulfate, a foaming agent that produces that nice thick lather we love. The problem is that some people find it irritating. I looked at the label of my shampoo and saw that it was the second ingredient on the list. It is associated with another ingredient called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is also an irritant.
I should mention that these two ingredients are *not* to be confused with another ingredient called Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is derived from coconut and palm and is considered safe. These three names are all very similar which can make things confusing.
NATURAL PRODUCTS:
I eventually found J&J;'s Natural Baby Shampoo which doesn't contain Sodium Laureth/Lauryl Sulfate. This shampoo is in their Natural line of products. Although it's made for babies, I hoped it would work for me because I have fine hair and sensitive skin.
First of all, it was difficult finding this shampoo locally. Many stores carry J&J;shampoos, but not the Natural line. If they carry the Natural line, it was usually out of stock. I went to at least five stores before finding it. Although I chain-link my errands, I suppose it would have been better to just buy it on Amazon from the start, but I wanted to try it before buying the 2-pack.
RESULTS:
Anyway, the first thing I noticed is that this shampoo is watery. But I can accept that because it doesn't include those thickening ingredients that might be irritating my skin. Just be careful when you pour it so that it doesn't drip out of your hand.
It also doesn't lather as easily as "regular" shampoo, so you have to get over yearning for a head full of lather. I do miss the lather, but it's a trade-off. I do miss the fragrance of my old brand, but then again perfume can be an irritant as well.
*Update: Please note that I received a helpful tip (see comment) to first lather the shampoo in your hands and add water before putting it on your head.
However, it does what it's supposed to do... it cleans just as well as my other shampoos. It doesn't leave my hair oily as I was expecting. So the bottom line is that I am happy with this shampoo and am willing to trade-off thick shampoo and rich lather for a mild and effective shampoo.
PROS:
- Does not contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
- Cleans gently, but cleans effectively
- Reasonable price
CONS:
- Doesn't lather
- Watery
RECOMMENDATION:
- In spite of the CONS, I still recommend this shampoo to someone who is sensitive to other shampoos. I am still giving 5 stars since I like the idea of less irritating synthetics and more natural ingredients. Of course everyone's chemistry is unique, so the only way to know how it works for you is to try it. At least it's not expensive. Hope this helps.

The around we go, is the best toy/play table on the market. We bought it for our 4mnth old as he was wanting to stand and move his legs lots, and he loves it. He zooms around and around the table and plays with everything. The sit swivels almost 360• and moves around entire table, making it easy for babies to move and to learn to use their legs and feet preparing for walking. It also keeps my baby quiet for hours at a time. -
