Spongebob Squarepants Memory Game

Okay, Phoebe now has a new favorite! This is the traditional memory card game where players turn over cards until they get a match. This one is Spongebob themed.

It is a fun game! Players can play from 3 years old and older. Phoebe and I played at least 4 times last night! My husband Allen had to get into the game as well, he could see how much fun we were having! Of course, Owen (my 2 year old) had to walk off with cards when we weren't looking...obviously, not a game for his age group!!

Cariboo Game by Cranium

Kids will love exploring the golden island of Cariboo, where they'll enjoy the thrill of unlocking secret doors and discovering hidden treasures!

The matching activities in Cranium Cariboo combine laugh-out-loud fun with four early-learning fundamentals -- letters, numbers, shapes, and colors -- so kids learn as they play. And, it grows with your child. Kids practice A, B, C and 1, 2, 3, 4 with the Beginner cards, then explore the full alphabet and numbers 1 to 10 with the Advanced cards.

Each game of Cariboo takes about 10 to 15 minutes to play -- perfect for young attention spans -- but kids love to play again and again. And because the rules are easy and reading is not required, kids can enjoy the game on their own.

Ages: 3,4,5,6,7,8
Number of Players: 2-4 Players

Chutes and Ladders

We also purchased Chutes and Ladders for Phoebe's birthday. We're planning on playing this evening. Love this game as well!!

Ages 3-6. 2-4 Players.

The Exciting Up and Down Game for Little People! This delightful game is simple and easy to play, even for children who can't read. Players spin the spinner and move their pawns, square by square, the number shown. If the pawn lands on a picture square at the bottom of a ladder, children climb up with a good deed! Naughty deeds slide you back when you land on a picture square at the top of a chute!

Hi-Ho Cherry-O

My daughter Phoebe turned 4 yesterday!! My baby is growing up!! One of the gifts we gave her was Hi-Ho Cherry-O. We played it last night, what a fun game! I remember this game from when I was a child.

The object is to be the first player to pick 10 cherries from your tree and fill your bucket.

Here's how to play the game:

In turn, each player spins and plays according to his/her spin:

One Cherry

Pick one cherry from your tree and put it into your bucket.

Two Cherries

Pick two cherries from your tree and put them into your bucket.

Three Cherries

Pick three cherries from your tree and put them into your bucket.

Four Cherries

Pick four cherries from your tree and put them into your bucket.

Bird or Dog

Take two cherries from your bucket and place them back on your tree. (If you have only one cherry, put that one back. If you have none do nothing.)

Spilled Bucket

Dump the cherries out of your bucket, place them back on your tree and start over.

Winning

You win if you're the first player to call, "Hi Ho! CherryO!" indicating that you have 10 cherries in your bucket.

Don't Spill the Beans!

I was shopping this Christmas for my 4 year old daughter, Phoebe, I came upon Don't Spill the Beans! I had to get this game! It was so inexpensive too!! I remember playing it when I was a child! She adores this game. I have to say my husband loves to play the game with her, my 2 year old, Owen, on the other hand likes to eat the beans! Not good!

Rules of the game:

Get rid of all the beans you've got, but do it without tipping over the pot.

Classic pre-school game. A favorite for 30 years!

Ages 3-6, 2 or more Players.
