eeBoo Picnic Game

In the eboo Picnic Game you lay out a little cloth picnic blanket and a spinner. On the spinner there are categories of food (fruit, vegetable, desert etc...) You take turns spinning and grab the items you land on. You have to put one back if you land on "ants."

My daughter understands and plays it at 3.5 years. She does not like the ants at all and it is a little hard when you spin to a food you have already gotten over and over. But the turns are quick and it seems to not frustrate her.

I think this game teaches categorization (fruit vs vegetable which I still don't quite get) and simple "take one, put one back" math. It also has pretty lame "main courses" of a hotdog or a chicken leg, which we don't eat (why not enchiladas!)
