CLASSY BOARD GAME

I bought this game for Nikki and Ethan a few days ago. It's very similar to the snakes and ladders boardgame but this one is 3D. When the ball falls into a "ladder" it automatically rolls up. If it falls on a "slide", it rolls down. The boys love it especially since it has a Disney Cars motif. Nikki was a bit confused with the counting because not only did he have to remember the number on the dice, he also has to make sure he counts upward on the board (44, 45, 46...etc.). So this will really be a big help for Nikki in counting numbers. But not only that, this game will also teach him how to lose gracefully. Nikki hates to lose. He gets so affected when others win. So using this simple game, hopefully, Nikki will learn a bit of sportsmanship.








When the ball reaches number 71, the ball rolls downward to the "win!"
