Chutes and Ladders

Chutes and Ladders




Be the first to move your child-shaped playing piece from square one to square 100 on the Chutes and Ladders game board–but watch out! If you land on the square that shows you ate too much candy–Ouch!–you get a tummy ache and slide down a chute to a square a few numbers below. But if you end your turn on a good-deed square, such as helping sweep up a mess, you’ll be rewarded by a ladder-climb up the board.

A fantastic follow-up to Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders is ideal for younger children who are still learning to take turns and just beginning to recognize numbers (the spinner stays in the single digits). It’s also a gentle introduction to the higher numbers as players climb to 100 at the top of the board. And, thanks to all those chutes and ladders, it’s got enough excitement to keep your 7-year-old on the edge of her seat. English and Spanish instructions are included; no reading is necessary to play. Chutes and Ladders is for two to four players. –Julie Ubben

5 Stars Surprisingly simple, amazingly fun
My 3 year old niece loves this game. I gave it as a gift and she couldn’t be happier. It took a little time to get her to understand how to play, but once she did she really got into it.

2 Stars NOT a good toy
I got this game for my 3 year old and she and i didnt like the game at all. its also itant made well.

5 Stars Another fun game for the family
My 6 year old granddaughter loves to play this game with grandma. She loves to win, but she has also learned to lose once in a while. I recommend it to parents and grandparents. It is a great way to have fun with your children or grandchildren.

5 Stars game for my granddaughter
I bought this for my grandaughter she loved it and plays it al least once a day

5 Stars Chutes and Ladders Rocks!
I am so happy I bought this game. I never had one as a kid but I played last night for the first time with my daughter, 5 and my son, 3 and we had so much fun together. Although we get very busy we are going to start having several game nights a week. The game was interesting enough to hold my 3 year olds attention to the end which doesn’t happen often, they got to practice their counting and I got to explain ethics and morals. The “rules” were very easy to catch on to and their were lots of giggles and laughter! Don’t wait any longer to add this to your game room:)

5 Stars Excellent toy ever!
I bought it for my 7 yr old son after reading all the good reviews and boy I am so glad I did. Its fun toy, easy and excellent to teach your kid basics of electronics at the same time. My son kept on doing one project after the other. He is anyways too much into building/architectural/magnetic toys and always likes to talk about electronics/signals etc. I just wish they make a sturdier box and also provide simple basics of electricity/parts-resistance etc so that child can read and get attuned very early on. I wish I had this toy when I was a kid. Excellent product and great price!!

5 Stars Snap Circuits
I have used this product several times in the classroom with elementary and middle school aged children. The response was overwhelmingly positive. The schools we partner with for science demonstrations liked these kits so much they jumped at the chance to get some as a donation. The diagrams are easy to follow. Basic electrical concepts are easy to teach. Kids readily start designing their own circuits. I recommend these kits to anyone who has children interested in hands on experiments.

5 Stars Great for younger kids too
We got this for my son’s 5th birthday. He LOVES it. We spent a little time showing him how to connect the parts and now he does it on his own. He can’t read the book but, he can look at the pictures and put together all the circuits. He now wants to get one of the upgrade kits so he can create more circuits. The product is well made and I would recommend for any child curious about electricity and likes putting puzzles, legos, etc together.

5 Stars Excellent Purchase!
I’ve been studying physics with my kids for a while, and a friend recommended Snap Circuits- what a great tool! My son grabbed the set immediately upon its arrival and worked through a bunch of the activities, one after another, and then started creating his own projects. He loves it- and so so my daughter and I!

5 Stars Very Educational
This is super fun and very educational. I play this with my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter and we have a blast!
