My
kids (ages 3, 5, and 7) all love this game. It’s fun to play and easy
to learn. Simply take turns spinning the spinner while trying to fill
your tree stump with each color of acorn. (Spinning a 1 or 2 means you
get to pick any one or two colors, a sad squirrel means you lose your
turn, a stealing squirrel means you get to take someone else’s acorn
from their trunk - strategy!, and a wind gust means all the acorns are
‘blown away’ from your own tree trunk). When playing this game, kids
learn to take turns, strategize, identify and match colors, and even
practice some fine motor skills by using the ‘squirrel grabber’ to pick
acorns up from the box. It’s perfect for preschoolers and definitely mom
approved. We love it!
This
game is fun, colourful and creative but also excellent for young
children to develop game skills of taking turns, spinning the wheel and
strategy alongside counting, colours and fine motor skills in using the
squirrel shaped tongs to select the coloured acorns.
My
sons are 2.5 and 4 years of age and really enjoy this game. It is
simple enough that they understand the basic rules and can master the
manual dexterity required to play, and also makes them think a little
about strategy. You can set it up and teach it in under a minute as well
which is always a plus where impatient little ones are concerned. I
like that the bottom of the box is effectively the board, it means that
the game is all nicely self contained and bits are less likely to go
flying everywhere - the shaped box is nice touch.
