The sturdy fruit basket provides another game on its own! The solid wooden fruit can be used for the game (with game boards and die) and also as pretend play food for your play kitchen.

• Game Idea: Working as a team, the children try to pick the fruits from the trees before the raven reaches the end of the path.
• If the players succeed in harvesting all the fruit before the raven reaches the orchard, they win together! If the raven gets there first, they lose together against the quick, ravenous raven.
• This cooperative Orchard game is designed to foster social skills and understanding of game rules, develop color recognition skills, and teach counting by ones.
