Maybe things are different within communities of alive stuffed animals, but every time we've seen groups of exotic wild animals (said experiences limited to zoo environments, of course, and TV specials), we seem to have just missed the balloon-popping events. Our understanding of bears was that most of their days are spent sleeping, eating, or totally mauling stuff, which leaves limited time for presiding over Ka-Plinko games.
Similarly, we know that other animals do often play a hide-and-seek-like game against tigers, but those games rarely end in hugs. Well, except for the hug of the tiger's teeth against its opponent's throat. Plushees may be a cute minigame collection, but it completely fails to teach kids the lesson about the importance of not hugging tigers.

Finding games a precocious 4 year old is extremely difficult. This looks just about perfect for her.
I think it's easy for adult, or even teen or tween, gamers to be very dismissive of games aimed at a younger crowd, but making a good one is actually every bit as hard as making a good game for adults. The controls have to be intuitive, responsive, and can't be dependent on reading skills. Most games fail miserably that even try. And the ones that succeed meet the disgust of older gamers who, of course, are almost universally too selfish to accept there could be a game that is good for people who aren't them.
