We have a set of HABA Sevilla building blocks which my children love and play with very frequently. They use them in a variety of ways. My daughter likes to build high rises and fantasize about moving to the big city. My son likes to build tunnels for his train engines to pass through.
When Maukilo asked if we would like to try out one of the HABA board games, I thought we might have fun. They sent us the Wiggling Cow game.
My daughter isn't quite six, but we've enjoyed playing the game together. We played according to the suggested rules, and then we played according to the guidelines my daughter made up. It was good practice counting the cards and took a bit of dexterity to use the wooden fork to slide the cards out from under the cow. As with other HABA toys, the Wiggling Cow game can be pretty open ended. In fact, the cow was not returned to the box for several days as it made it's rounds of our other playsets!
(From the company:)
There’s no crying over spilled milk or in this hilarious game a “spilled cow.” Pile up the hay/flower cards and carefully pull on the cow’s tail and balance him on top of the cards. Each player uses the hayfork to harvest a card while trying not to tip over the cow. Whoever collects the most cards wins! The rules permit the cow to tip up to 3 times during a round. A more challenging variation asks players to count the flowers on the cards! Designed for 1 to 4 players, ages 6 and up.
