Demo Bar Item of the Week Toot and Otto is a terrific strategy game for kids. Each player takes on the personality of one of two loveable pups, Toot or Otto. Each player starts off with 12 letter tiles, six Ts and six Os. By dropping these tiles down the chutes on the vertical game board, they begin their quest to spell their respective names. Toot or Otto can be spelled from left to right, up or down, and even diagonally. This is a great game for kids ages 4-8.
