Cat and Mouth Game

One of the "Little Tykes" favourite games is Cat and mouth.  The divider is a sort of cartoon cat's face.  The multi coloured "eyes" are to score the number of games each won.  The "mouth has three white balls balanced in it as teeth and the nose is a black ball sitting loosely in a hole.  At each end is a sprung Cat's paw.  The aim of the game is to flick your four yellow balls and any that come through from the other side back and hopefully knock out the teeth and or the nose.  You win in one of three ways.  Getting all the "teeth" into the other side, having no balls left or knocking the "nose" out.

The game is fast and furious because clearly the faster you get the balls through the "mouth" the better your chance of winning.  Emily happily worked her way through anybody who would play her and won the majority of the games.
