Description
To play this fun little game, you lay the spaghetti pieces across the bowl then put the yeti on top. (No logic behind this – just go with it.) Then each player takes turns pulling out one piece of spaghetti. If the yeti falls to the bottom of the bowl on your turn, you lose. This is usually the point at which kids collapse into giggles, which can be contagious!
This game is perfect for younger kids because it helps develop their executive functioning skills when they learn (the hard way) to be patient and pull the spaghetti pieces out slowly. But because it’s so quick and silly, even tweens and teens get into it too!
Note: The manufacturer says this is for ages 4 and up, but according to several other families (including mine!) most 3-year-olds are ready for this game.
From the Manufacturer
Who knew yetis love spaghetti?! In this fun and wacky game, you place the noodles across the bowl, and the yeti sits on top of the noodles. But as you remove the noodles one by one (be careful!), the yeti could fall into the bowl, and that would mean you lose!

My kids (ages 4 and 7 1/2) are fans of Yeti in My Spaghetti and Spot It, which is my go to for long waits at Doctor appts or restaurants!

Fun and fast. Great for practicing slowing down, focusing, fine motor control, and turn taking!

This is a fun and fast game that’s perfect for the preschool set. Practice taking turns, fine motor skills, and we play cooperatively and help each other find “safe” moves. It’s a good intro to games.

My girls, 5 and 3, love this game. Easy enough for the three-year-old and it’s always sends them into giggle fits. And it reminds me of the old kerplunk or thin ice game from my childhood.
Tara Sanger –
My kids love this game. It is quick and easy to set up, requires no batteries, and missing pieces go unnoticed.
Lisa T Smith –
Fun for even very young players, I even play without the chopsticks if this is too hard for some. You can add to the difficulty by how you stack the “spaghetti”. It is quick and fun for different ages.

My kids can’t get enough of this game! They adore the cute Yeti and love thinking of creative ways to get the spaghetti out.

Super short and easy to play!! It’s goofy and great for little kids!

My 4yo hasn’t mastered the patience necessary to remove the spaghetti but he loves this game and begs to play it!

We liked this game for my younger kids but my older two 7 and 9 got sick of it after a while. We also found random spaghetti around house for days after playing too!

Even my three year old loves this game. It allows younger kids to practice taking turns without a lot of patience required overall. Also helps develop fine motor skills in kids of all ages!
