Haba: Animal upon Animal

Finally the exciting times of playing board games is here! It is so much more fun to play memory pairs with him than to build towers or watch him putting the puzzles together.

Among the new games I bought for him, there was this one: My Very First Games: Animal upon Animal by Haba. I thought he was going to love it because he loves to build and destroy towers, so why not to make a tower out of animals, right? There are, I think, 5 different games you can play, which is pretty cool - one game for 33 euros would be rather expensive...

This is pretty much what you get: instructions in 5 languages (no Estonian translation), 9 wooden animals, 9 cards with the pictures of the animals, two big circles and two rectangles (these we don't use for the first game we tried with T., so I didn't pay attention what they are good for)

The animals have a pretty smart shape perfect for stacking, the quality is ok.

This is what we tried: To turn the sun cards and stack the animal which is in the picture - Teodor just loved to turn the pictures. He probably doesn't understand that the pictures represent the wooden animals. All in all, he didn't get it much, but still was trying to follow my instructions (what is in the picture? sound A dog? nodding So, take the dog and put it there...very commonly he would put the card with the picture there..)

I still think it is a very nice board game and hope he will soon start enjoying it.
