This cheerful Gathering a Garden game is a breath of fresh air! Take a trip to each vendor to gather some flowers, vegetables, and more for your bounty of garden delights. Lorna tells me that the game is so inviting that when Chris (my son, her husband, father to the kids) got home and it was still on the table, he played with the kids… during dinner! which he never does.

I have a few games in stock for right now in celebration of spring and Easter. It is for ages 5 and up, no plastic pieces. Shop here for Gathering a Garden.

This game is from eeBoo, a woman-owned specialty toy and gift company based in New York City committed to designing products that encourage curiosity, imagination, and creativity in people of all ages. Gathering a Garden is a winner of the Oppenheim Gold Award.

Lorna and Judy spend time searching for toys mostly for Bear. They focus on nice toys that make him use his imagination and his brain and that don’t require technology. When they find the right ones, I add them to the site because you might want them for your own special young ‘uns. First up are the Dino Dominoes.

Lorna gave a set to Edward, who is a dinosaur lover. The box says for ages 3 and up which is right where Edward is. Here he is opening the box:

His mom, Sarah sent pictures of him playing with them…

The Dino Dominoes are made of sturdy cardboard and they are the right size for small hands. They are bright and happy and kids can play with them and learn things without realizing that they are learning things. I didn’t order many sets and I’m not sure I can get more before Easter so order soon :-). Click here for Easter Crafts & Toys.
