Help collect food for the animals to eat. Fairies go to Knothole Pantry and find food matches to bring to the storeroom.

How to Play

As food falls and begins to fill up the game-play area, click on groups of three or more matching animal foods in order to add them to your collection. Once collected, the items will disappear and the food above will fall into place creating more matches for you to click. The more items collected in a group, the higher the score! To move on to the next level, you must collect the required amount of food before the game-play area fills up and overflows. Be sure to watch out for obstacles and take advantage of the special items in each level.
