We got a fun new game from Learning Resources called Hoppy Floppy's Happy Hunt Game, just in time for Easter! It's the perfect gift to give your little one in their Easter basket, and will keep them busy for ages. Ethan and I sat and played it over and over again today, he loved it!
It was easy to set up and start playing straight away, we each got a little basket and the goal is to collect a carrot of each colour for your basket. The first player spins the spinner to see which colour carrot they need to pick up. So right away they are identifying colours and following instructions.
Next they use the bunny (Hoppy Floppy) to pick up the carrot that they need. The bunny is a sort of tweezers, and by squeezing the ears the paws come together to pick up the object. It took a couple of tries for Ethan to get the hang of it, but was soon picking up the carrots without any trouble. And it's great for his fine motor control and concentration to use tweezers to pick up and put down in a desired location.
There are other possibilities that the spinner can land on, so your little one needs to learn to identify these as well. Ethan's absolute favourite had to be when he landed on the picture of the little bunny thief, and he got to steal a carrot from my basket, he thought that was hilarious!
There's also the possibility of landing on the tipped over basket, which mean that all of your carrots get spilled out and you need to start again. This happened to me a lot! Again this gave Ethan great joy, and it made our game last longer which was fun. I think we're going to be playing this game a lot!
