Peaceable Kingdom Games and Puzzles Friends and Neighbors Hoot Owl Hoot FloorPuzzle Snug as a Bug in a Rug Race to the Treasure! Monkey Around Mermaid Floor Puzzle Review: BRILLIANT! - Purchased this for my kids, and they absolutely LOVE it! Such a great game for encouraging kids to consider others and learn ways of how to be a helper. The pieces are all made of a cardboard-like material, so fairly durable (meaning my toddler hasn't bent any pieces yet) and love how it's a quick, easy clean up! There's not a thousand pieces everywhere that often get lost. And love how the materials are eco friendly! Keeps everyone occupied for a good twenty minutes and allows for discussion points such as identifying if the friend in the game is emotionally hurt or physically hurt and the importance of learning those differences when helping others. Can't say enough good things about it, so glad I purchased it!

A cute game, but I guess my 3 year old was beyond it because she got bored after two play throughs. Good for 2 year olds and 3 year olds, but not one that mine wanted to keep coming back to. Quality was very nice, giftable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Peaceable Kingdom Friends and Neighbors: The Helping Game Emotional Development Cooperative Game for Kids - Peaceable Kingdom Hoot Owl Hoot Cooperative Color Matching Game for 2 to 4 Kids Ages 4+ - Peaceable Kingdom Snug as a Bug in a Rug Award Winning Cooperative Preschool Skills Builder Game for 2 to 4 Kids ages 3+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/30419656-friends-and-neighbors](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/30419656-friends-and-neighbors) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
