Imagine Toys Review ~ Shopping Cart Dash ? Huppie Mama

By Carrie Wells, Ed.D.

I love early learning board games, and Shopping Cart Dash?available at Imagine Toys is no exception! It is a similar game to Pesky Pirates, which I reviewed last month.

This game incorporates several skills, including identifying certain types of food, sorting food by category (e.g. fruits, veggies, meats), turn-taking, counting, making purchases, and understanding the relationship between icons and their corresponding words. It is played similarly to a Trivial Pursuit game, in that you must collect one item of each color to win. Each color on the board corresponds to a color on a shopping list each player gets at the beginning of the game. ?Each player also selects a different colored shopping cart and begins at the starting line. Players take turns rolling the die and moving the correct number of spaces. If the shopping cart lands on a color that corresponds to an item the player needs for his/her cart, then that player can use the coins distributed at the beginning of the game to pay for that item. Game play ends when one player has filled his/her cart with all the items on the shopping list.

Since we received this game (it?s probably been almost 2 months now), Lydia asks to play it with either my husband or her grandmother almost daily. I usually ask that she wait until her brother goes to sleep (since he?s just 10 months old and can easily choke on the smaller pieces). This game is a great way to introduce so many important early learning concepts in a fun, engaging game that kids will love!
