Wooden Stacking Game
This is a beautiful, colorful wooden set, and the company that makes it (Blue Orange) plants two trees for every tree used to produce their games. The box that it comes in is incredibly sturdy, and has held up to being tossed around in my car and my bag, not to mention the hands of small children, for a few years now.
Take turns rolling the die and stacking the elephants in number order, but don't knock it down! The person to put the tenth elephant on top wins.
Age Level: 3-6 (although my one-year-olds do love stacking the pretty blocks!)
Skills/Talents:
~Turn-taking: When children are first learning to take turns, games with quick turns are best. It also helps that in this game, it's exciting to watch the other person take their turn!
~Counting: To set up the game, I always have the children help me set up the elephants in number order. For children with early emerging counting skills, I set up the elephants and have them count with me. Kids with stronger counting skills and better number recognition set up the elephants themselves.
Rating: Five out of five stars. This game has it all. It's environmentally friendly, pretty to look at, reasonably priced, and kids love it!
