Cranium

Amazon.com New: from $47.99
Product Description
Cranium Cariboo is the all-new, magical treasure-hunt game designed especially for young minds. Kids will love exploring the golden island of Cariboo, where they'll find castles, boats, balloons and more. Their eyes will light up as each turn gives them the chance to match fun drawings, unlock secret doors and discover hidden treasure. Multiple matching activities reinforce four early-learning fundamentals: ABCs, numbers, shapes and colors.
Editorial Review
Taking a step away from trivia questions and clay sculpting, the makers of Cranium have instead created a game for teaching wee ones a few colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. (And, if you know 3- to 6-year-olds that won't lose all the included cards and balls, they may also learn sharing, cooperation, and imaginative play.) The bottom of the box houses the game itself, with three chutes along the top that the balls are dropped into and three rows of flip-up panels that are decorated with various colored objects. Players draw cards, match them to a panel, flip up the panel, and hope there is a ball underneath it. Once all six balls are recovered a treasure chest pops open and gameplay can begin anew. --Pam Lauer
