The objective

Clear a path for each cub to meet its parent.

Setting up

Place on each of the floating objects a piece of food.

How to play?

Choose the first cub you want to help.

Roll the color dice. Eat a piece of food from any floating object that matches the color you rolled. Keep rolling and eating until there’s a path connecting the cub and its parent.

After one path is cleared, go ahead and help the second cub.

You can continue playing, even after you have helped both cubs.

Parent tip

Try placing different kinds of food on the floating objects of the same color. This will give the child a variety of options to choose from, thus, a sense of control over what he eats.
Young children might insist on eating in a sequence from the cub to the parent. This is a great opportunity to teach them flexibility and strategy. Show them that they can also progress in two directions at once (if the dice allows it), or that eating from the middle can help you later. This level of understanding is not expected before the age of 5.
