Using this WowWee's Hungry Hungry Hippos game is super easy. First, connect the hose adaptor to a water source and the sprinkler unit. Then, get the 6 snack balls ready. Players choose a hippo to feed. Try to toss the snack balls into your hippo's mouth as fast as you can. The first to feed all three snacks to their hippo wins. Remember, the closer you are to the hippo, the more you'll get sprayed, but it's easier to score. You can also use it just as a sprinkler. Let the hippos spin and spray water without worrying about feeding. When you're done using it, disconnect the hose and store it in a dry place. Check the parts regularly for any signs of wear and tear. Make sure to keep the snack balls in a safe place so you don't lose them.
