The motorized elephant blows colorful butterflies into the air. Practice catching skills with the handy butterfly net, or quickly gather butterflies where they land. The adorable baby elephant is over 4 feet tall during play! Review: Five stars in 1993, Afraid to purchase now. For shame, Hasbro!! - I gave this five stars based upon the toy that I bought for my son in 1993. It was PERFECT. No problems with the blower. The motor was quiet, the butterflies all flew out gently, and it was a joy for my toddler to just watch and perchance, catch a few. As he got older, he and his friends used the nets. I wanted to purchase this for my grand-nephews but clearly the design has changed. How sad. No way would I buy this current design. A penny more per toy for a better motor would make this PERFECT once again! Come on, Hasbro! You are being penny-wise, dollar foolish! Step up to the AMERICAN dream. Put out a good product, and watch the $$ come in. Review: Better than I thought it would be... - After reading some of the reviews here on desertcart about Elefun- The Butterfly Catching Game! I was leary of purchasing it. My daughter had her heart set on it for Christmas so I caved in and boy, am I glad I did! It has been nothing but fun! Set up was a breeze, and I followed someone's recommendation of snipping a few inches off the trunk right off the get-go. True to word, the butterflies started flying and my 3 year old was thrilled! She caught quite a few just holding the net by the elephant trunk, and later progressed to trying to catch them in the net. The plastic seems somewhat flimsy, but other components seem sturdy and long wearing. After a few runs, my daughter was able to open the elephant and replace the butterflies herself for the next round. The motor is quiet, just powerful enough to push out the butterflies and construction seems safe. I would highly recommend this game for any active preschooler who has winter blues! ## Features - Activity game - Elephant blows 30 feathery, vinyl butterflies from its 4-foot trunk into the air - Kids use mesh nets (four included) to capture the butterflies - Different game variation for matching colors or for collecting the most - For 2 to 4 players ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00007GCYP | | Best Sellers Rank | #927,819 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #23,489 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (80) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.07 pounds | | Item model number | 40838 | | Manufacturer | Hasbro Gaming | | Manufacturer recommended age | 36 months - 6 years | | Product Dimensions | 7.1 x 8 x 10.7 inches | ## Images ![Hasbro Elefun - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91TIZR7gqPL.jpg) ![Hasbro Elefun - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9114LmynAhL.jpg) ![Hasbro Elefun - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91+OTaCu5uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars in 1993, Afraid to purchase now.

We've had it since Christmas, and my kids love it. Isn't that the point? I really thought this game was a gimmick when I saw it advertised, but my son really wanted it for Christmas and Grandma got it. Both my 2 and almost 4 year old giggle like mad when playing this game. All that laughter and running around are worth the few problems with this game. I'm glad I read the reviews, because one mom mentioned the importance of spreading the butterfly wings in order for them to "fly" properly. This really does help. I have never had more than 2 butterflies get stuck in the trunk. It really isn't a big deal because in a minute the kids and I have them back in the elephant and ready to go again. It doesn't make the game any less fun. If the fan were more powerful, the butterflies would all come out at once, and it would last about two seconds. My kids have learned to anticipate the butterflies and listen for more still in the trunk. This actually builds excitement as they attempt to guess when the butterfly will come out, and exactly where it will go. The whole game really helps with hand-eye coordination. The only reason this game didn't get 5 stars is that I also share some concerns regarding the durability of the trunk since we store it in the box and the trunk is always rolled up and creased in the same spot. --- ## 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.nz/products/19708994-hasbro-elefun](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/19708994-hasbro-elefun) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
