Great game for little ones!
This is such a fun game for little ones! Emphasizes color recognition and matching, counting, taking turns, fair play, and winning and losing! The hardest part was for my little one to be able to grasp the squirrel tightly enough to use as the pinchers for picking up acorns. There is a space you can spin where you can sneak an acorn from another player and a space where the wind blows all your acorns away. I personally like these because it’s a gentle way of introducing them to strategy and the not-always-winning aspects of a game. It’s well made, we have had it for several years and it has been played by many kids! Even young 2 or 3 year olds can definitely play under close supervision since the acorns could be a choking hazard. We have this ourselves and have given it as a gift too. It’s always a hit!

Easy to play. It provides fun.
This game is very simple to play, kids love the squirrel. Beautiful illustrations.Besides the esthetics, this game helps your kids to practice some skills, pinch, color match, counting, actions, take turns, etc.

Perfect game for non-readers!
I introduced this game to my preschool class and they BEG to play it everyday. So easy, teaches colors, turn taking, aids fine motor skills. If you spin and land on the sneaky, snacky squirrel, you get to take an acorn that you need from another player and if the windstorm blows your acorns away you have to put them back in the tree 🙁 …. cooperative game play (another skill we are working on in preschool!) There is a plastic squirrel “tong” that the kids can use to pick up their acorn and place it in their log, and there are twists along the way … kids who are behind can spin to receive two acorns and come from behind to win! I would SO much rather play this game with kids than others that take forever and are hard for them. No reading necessary! The spinner has visuals, the kids catch on quickly, and they often beat me!This is my favorite gift to give little kids.

Perfect Game for Young Children
I love the cuteness of this game as well as the quick game play. It’s the perfect length of time for my 2 1/2 and 4 year old to play. Great for boys and girls, I enjoyed playing it so much I purchased one for my nephew.

Meu filho de 3 anos gostou. NÃvel de desafio adequado para a idade, pena que não tem outras opções de jogos na coleção para entrega no Brasil. Não recomendável para crianças acima de 5 anos, pois eh muito fácil .
