Review & Giveaway: Peaceable Kingdom board games

I'm always looking for fun, educational activities for my kids. Since their young, it seems like the options are limited and we do the same activities over and over. I recently learned about Peaceable Kingdom & was excited to try out their "cooperative games"!

My kids really enjoyed playing this game! And I really enjoyed the skills this game focused on developing: color matching, following directions, and cooperation.

What is a cooperative game?
A cooperative game is a game where all players play together against a common obstacle, not against each other. In a cooperative game no one feels left out and everyone has fun! Peaceable Kingdom’s cooperative board games use familiar game mechanisms - spinning a spinner, matching cards, moving a token, strategizing a win! The difference is that players play together. Playing together helps kids in many ways - they experience shared decision-making, they build self-esteem, they learn to share, to feel compassion, and to work as a team. Playing cooperative games teaches kids to cooperate.
