Lets Go Shopping! - by HABA Review

Lets Go Shopping - by HABAIf you have a child that is not into sharing this game is GREAT.In a fun and enjoyable environment it teaches that it's not only good to share but fun too.You pick a card and from the pile of food items they have to recognize and obtain the item on the card.Now, here is the sharing part, if someone already has the item they have to give it up.Items usually change hands several times.We had cousins that we really had problems with when it came to sharing toys.So, we took this game one step further and timed the games to see how fast we could go through the cards.It left little time to think about what had to be given up and always seemed to end in laughing and more sharing than the game called for.I love the real solid wood pieces. I will keep this game forever. Will be a great game for grandchildren....

Animal Den Review

Animal DenWhen I first got this, I looked at all the hidden animal inserts and the elephant I couldn't tell what it was. It's the red one with the green trunk.It could use more expression. Also, another piece is a leaf, which doesn't make sense since it's all the others are animals. Those two things I had issues with but overall babies seem to like the toy.

Educo Switchback Racetrack Review

Educo Switchback RacetrackI did a lot of research and found that this one was the best one I could find on the market. When I got it I found it to be a very good toy.

It is a much larger size then other ones so your child can really get in to it.
It comes already assembled so you can have fun getting it out of the packaging with your child and create some excitement. Plus much less work for you.
It has two tracks instead of one so you can really encourageand engage your child to play by having races.
It is absolutely great quality, well built and will last.
The tracks are lined up and on the right angle so you don't have to worry about to much flipping off track and traffic jams.
It comes with 4 cars instead of just two. The cars are made specifically for the track and to flip over on it. They are also a decent size not to small or to big.

However it is expensive, and is a toy your child will really want to play with someone, not alone. So these things could be a draw back for some.

Also I looked on line elsewhere, as well as, in some catalogs that I get, and found Amazon to have the best price. Plus if you use standard shipping most retailers will ship it for free on Amazon.

Animal Yahtzee - by HABA Review

Animal Yahtzee - by HABAYes, this game is very small. All of the pieces fit inside the tin, which is used as the cup for the dice, which is a brilliant idea. My three girls 3,5, and 11 all enjoy this game. My younger two don't understand the scoring aspect, but still enjoy this game; while my 11 year old is able to understand the scoring and pick the best use of her rolls. We are a gaming family, and play a game before bedtime every night. We play this game probably once every other week, it's not an absolute favorite but still well liked. However, my youngest is fairly sensitive to sound, this game is pretty loud (shaking wooden dice in a tin can!) Otherwise, we would probably play it more often.

Animal Yahtzee is a charming game for children ages 3 years and up. You will love the colorful tin case (perfect for storage and travel) and child-friendly design of the dice. Counting animals on the dice is undoubtedly more fun for young children than counting dots on traditional dice! Roll the dice, count how many of each animals are face up and add up the points. Whoever has the most points at the end wins! Play with 2 - 4 players.
