Today, was an amazingly beautiful day, and while baby brother was napping and dad out doing errands I decided it was time to have some fun one on one time and introduce Kelsey to her first board game. She got this from one of her favorite friends from school for her birthday back in March. Do you remember Candyland?
It was so long I had to read the directions before Kelsey and I nestled into flipping those cards. The race is straightforward, woven around a sample story line about finding the lost king of Candy Land. The board consists of a winding, linear track made of 134 spaces, most of which are red, green, blue, yellow, orange or violet. The remaining few spaces are named locations such as Candy Cane Forest and Gum Drop Mountain, or characters like Queen Frostine and Gramma Nutt.
Kelsey won the race fair and square and the game did last a while. I got sent back to the candy cane, otherwise it would have been a very close race!
I love Candyland!! Chutes and Ladders is lots of fun too!
