I have a daughter who will be four in August.  Over the past few months, she’s been asking to play more and more board games.  We had a few, but as her attention span was so short, I hid them in the closet for a rainy day so she wouldn’t be reminded of them too often.  Well, now that she’s getting a little older, I’ve branched out from the standard games and reached out to Perk’s Variety store for a little more…well…variety.

The Little Orchard Game is absolutely a hit.  You can play with as many players as you want. There aren’t too many pieces to keep track of.  The quality of the materials is top rate.  The concept is fairly simple – beat the raven to the cherries – but the way you get there is both unique and challenging for everyone.  Everyone wins, or everyone loses. It’s great for moral, memory skills, recognizing colors and working in a group.  What I also thought was great about this game, it doesn’t drag on long enough for anyone to lose interest. I was always trying to figure out the next step or to see what my daughter would do next. She was excited for both my turn and hers and we have a ton of fun playing it. 

It’s perfect for a young child’s birthday gift.  Anyone between the ages of 3 and 8 will really enjoy it.  When you get it, tell them TRMom sent ya!
