ChickyBoom : Eco-Friendly Wooden Children's Game from Blue Orange

I received complimentary product to facilitate this feature, all opinions are my own.

 

I am so tired of purchasing games that do not last, even when they're taken care of properly. With having a large family we want things that all of our children can enjoy over the years. Blue Orange games has ecofriendly wooden games that are made to last, are good for the environment & are fun to play.

We received ChickyBoom a wooden game that is high quality made and will last. It's all about balance with this game. What you do is place the chickens on different pieces (hay bales, wheels) on a balancing plank/perch. Then you take turns removing one thing at a time (each worth different point value) until the perch looses balance and they all fall off. Whoever has the most points in the end, wins. All my kids enjoyed it, but at the ages of 5 & 7 they had a hard time getting the perch set up on their own. It was hard to keep them all together & balance. With our help though they have played countless hours and has helped them learn how to remove different weighed items to keep the board balanced and which end to take from. I admit my husband and I have had a bit of fun with it ourselves.

Blue Orange carries many different games, check them out by visiting their website. I also read that for every tree cut for their game making, they plant two, pretty awesome. Connect with them on facebook & twitter.
