This game Takes the Cake, I mean, this Game IS Take the Cake (a Review)

We don’t know who invented the cupcake, but whoever it was surely deserves a culinary gold medal. The idea of a personal-sized portion of scrumptious cake topped with rich frosting and colorful toppings is genius – pure and simple. 

Speaking of pure and simple, Take the Cake is a simple game that’s pure fun. As you shake the shaker, you’ll hone fine motor skills, as well as shape and color recognition. For a double treat, whip up a batch of real cupcakes and play this game while you’re waiting for them to bake. A batch of yummy cupcakes is fresh out of the oven and it's time to decorate. Shake the sprinkle shaker and see what colorful shapes pour out. If any match a cupcake, add them to the card. Collect the most cards and winning is a piece of cake.

So, this game is great for learning shapes and counting and colors. Rolling the dice is a good way to count. You also have to recognize and match the shapes and colors. When you fill all the sprinkles on the card, you win that card! Whoever wins the most cards wins! 

Both of the boys love to play this, and it’s a good game we can all play together. It was one of the first games they learned how to play, and I recommend it for kids ages 2 and up, but be careful with the toddlers because the sprinkles are small and could be ingested. 

Have fun!
