Since January is “International Brain Teaser Month,” now is the perfect time to review Little Red Riding Hood<\/a>, another Smart Game I ordered through Timberdoodle<\/a> for my little ones. <\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

This set is a little more challenging than the Three Little Piggies<\/a> I reviewed a few days ago. Consequently, you’ll note a slight shift in the suggested age range for Red Riding Hood. It’s recommended for ages 4-7, althugh my 8-year-old Abigail loves it, too.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

Abby’s still recuperating from a recent rollerblade accident. She’s been in a splint\/cast since December 28. (She broke her arm trying to “break in” the new skates she got for Christmas.) \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this single-player thinking game can be worked single-handedly, too. Her arm may atrophy a bit while the bone is healing, but her brain will get a good workout!<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

None of the challenges have completely stumped her (yet). But some of them have taken multiple attempts before she gets it right. The point of the game is to lay a trail that will lead both Red Riding Hood and the wolf (when he’s on the board) directly to Grandma’s house.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

You’ve got to make sure the trail bypasses any trees on the board. And it must end at a door to Grammy’s house (not a window). <\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

Like the other fairytale games in this series, Little Red Riding Hood<\/a> features brightly-colored, chunky pieces. They are delightful to look at and easy to handle.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

The set also includes a wordless book, so kids can retell the classic story using as much or as little detail as they wish. This makes a great language building activity!<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

In an age where so much of children’s education and entertainment is taking place on a screen (something studies have shown actually DAMAGES children’s brains<\/a>), I am grateful for hands-on games and puzzles like Little Red Riding Hood<\/a> that keep my kids happily occupied and mentally engaged without the use of a digital babysitter. <\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

If you have a little one who could benefit from some screen-free learning and play time, I’d highly recommend Little Red Riding Hood<\/a>. You can order yours through Timberdoodle as a stand-alone product or as part of their Kindergarten Complete Curriculum Kit<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
