Object
Be the first to place all 8 of your color marbles in GIGGLE WIGGLE's hands.
Let's Put Giggle Wiggle Together!
Step 1. Turn the base upside down and remove screw from battery door. Open battery door and insert two "C" size alkaline batteries (not included). Match batteries to the illustration inside the battery compartment. Then screw on battery door.
Step 2. Now fit the caterpillar onto the base as shown in Figure 1. Place on a smooth hard surface for play.
Figure 1: Fit the caterpillar into place! (Parts labelled: Caterpillar, Switch, Base.)
Step 3. To test batteries, flip ON switch on the back of the base. Then sing, giggle, talk or shout! GIGGLE WIGGLE should start swinging and swaying to any sounds. If he's not dancing or he starts to slow down, batteries may be weak or improperly installed. To replace batteries, first flip switch OFF. Then follow Step 1.
IMPORTANT: Batteries may leak if improperly installed. Remove batteries when GIGGLE WIGGLE is not used for an extended period of time.
Step 4. Before applying labels, make sure GIGGLE WIGGLE's switch is OFF. Then apply labels to his eyes, bow ties and base as shown in Figure 2.

Step 5. To assemble a pair of tongs, hold it palms-up and bend until its two halves snap together. See Figure 3. Do this for each pair of tongs. Then apply labels to tongs as shown.

Let's Get Started!
- Choose 8 matching color marbles and a pair of matching tongs. All players do the same. Put all unused marbles and tongs out of play.
WARNING: Small parts (marbles) may be hazardous to children under 3 years of age.
- Sit facing GIGGLE WIGGLE and place all 8 of your color marbles into the base section closest to you. These are your marbles for the rest of the game. See Figure 4. All players do the same.

Hint: Now hold your tongs with its thumbs up as shown in Figure 5 and practice picking up marbles with the tongs a few times!
Figure 5: Hold your tongs like this! (Thumbs-up!)
- Choose one player to flip ON the switch located on the back of GIGGLE WIGGLE's base.
Let's Play!
To start, all players pick up one of their matching color marbles with their tongs. Then all players count out loud and yell:
"One, Two, Three— GIGGLE WIGGLE!"
On the words, "GIGGLE WIGGLE!", all players try to place their marbles into GIGGLE WIGGLE's hands!
Follow these easy rules as you play!
- Pick up only your own color marbles.
- Place them, one-at-a-time, only in the hands that are directly above your base section. See Figure 6.
- Always use your tongs to play—no fingers please!
- Never put your color marbles in the hands above another player's base section.
Figure 6: You're red! Fill GIGGLE WIGGLE's hands above your base section!
Players continue placing marbles in GIGGLE WIGGLE's hands until one player doesn't have any marbles left.
Remember
GIGGLE WIGGLE is Sound-Activated! The more you giggle, the more he wiggles! Laughing, giggling, talking and shouting make him move around. He swings and sways to every sound!
Oops! If any of your marbles fall, just pick them up and try again! (If they fall on the table or floor, you may pick them up with your fingers to put them in your base section. But then use your tongs!)
Double Oops! If you accidentally pick up another player's marble, just put it back into that player's base section.
Who's the Winner?
To win, be the first player to place all 8 of your own color marbles in the hands that are directly above your base section! See Figure 7. The winning player gets to switch GIGGLE WIGGLE OFF.
Figure 7: You win! GIGGLE WIGGLE's hands are filled with your marbles!
After play: don't put GIGGLE WIGGLE away! Instead, keep him out so you can see him every day!
Another Way to Play!
Mix up all of the colored marbles and give an even number of marbles to each player (up to 8 marbles per player) plus a pair of tongs. The first player to place all of his or her marbles in the hands directly above his or her base section wins!
