An interesting counting game, Monkey Math helps to teach math skills with the use of banana numbers and a monkey scale. If the monkey’s eyes are crossed, the numbers aren’t equal. I’ve never thought of counting that way, but it’s a clever idea.

You could play Hide and Seek with an old-school hard electronic monkey, but why not instead play with a big, soft, plush monkey? It’s fun, gets your little ones moving, and lets you play with them while sitting on the couch. What’s not to like?

Hand painted by Italian craftsmen, this fantastic looking chess set features a wide variety of animal chess pieces including zebras, lion, monkeys, elephants, and more. I’m not sure how you tell which animal is which classic chess piece, but I’m not much of a chess player. Maybe it’s more obvious to experienced players?

Mighty Monkey Pegs is a game with monkeys, and pegs, and they stack. And you count them, I think. I need to have my 3-year-old explain it – I don’t get it. It looks like fun, and he loves it, and it has monkeys, so that’s a solid A grade in my book!

See how high you can flip your monkeys and still make a stack. The powerful magnets in the monkey’s hands and feet enable them to make amazing catches and fantastic stunts!

Here’s a cool-sounding game. The Hide and Seek Safari is a game where kids hide the monkey, then use the special wand to try and find it. The wand flashes when you get closer to the monkey, and beeps when the monkey is near! You can couple this with other Safari animals (sold separately, of course), so teams can hide animals then race to see who finds the other animal first!
