Everyone works toward the same goal, creating a gentle setting for taking turns and following a simple rule. Matching the die to the fruit gives colors and sorting a purpose beyond being quizzed.
Begin by putting fruit in the basket together. When your child is interested, add the die and take turns gathering fruit before the raven arrives. Keep the mood playful if the raven wins.
Let the play grow with them
Try sorting first, a shortened game next, and the full rules another day. A toddler can also help you move the raven without playing a full round.
A no-shopping version
Take turns putting large toy foods into a basket and naming their colors.
