My Thoughts

This game is so sweet. It is definitely a great way to interact with your child and teach them their numbers, and some plant life as well lol. It is really simple, which is something I like as well. Nowadays games try to hard to be complicated. This is just a cute simple game. It is a game box that is the "pot", the "ingredients (a bunch of acorns, plants, clovers, etc.), a wooden spoon, and recipe cards. You pick a recipe, count out the ingredients, and mix them up to make Acorn Soup. I showed my son the card and he picked a recipe. Then I counted out the ingredients and dumped them in the "pot" while he stirred the pot. I showed them to him and counted them as I dropped in. My hopes is that he is going to handle this on his own eventually, after working with his numbers and getting them down. 

The game is nice and portable as well. We can take it with us to Grandma's as well. Because let's not kid ourselves, grandparents love seeing how smart their grandchildren are. It gives them something to brag to all their friends about. This game will definitely help your child advance. When Declan is feeling destructive he can just turn it upside down and dump all the pieces on the ground and spread the pieces all over the ground. It is all around good fun.

Our Thoughts

This game really teaches teamwork. Everyone plays and you feed off of one another's ideas. It allows for such creative thinking, like physics for your brain. I use this as a homeschooling task with my daughters. This is fun but you also learn to really use your brain and think outside the box. Aside from it being a "game" it, again, teaches teamwork. Teamwork is essential in our day and age!

As for the rules and setup of the game, it's very easy. Best of all, replaceable if you lose any pieces! After a quick explanation to both my daughters (8 and 5) they understood what to do. It is fun and "easy" and we can all play together and be captivated and creative! This is a perfect addition to anyone's board game collection!
