    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great game! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My two toddlers love this game! I have a two and a four year old and it has been perfect for them. Having a cooperative game has been good at teaching them how we can all work together and increase their communication skills. My kids love trying to race against the raven. The fruit pieces are wooden and well made, they stand up to quite a bit of reckless play. I highly recommend this game for any toddlers or preschoolers!

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Can't wait! I cannot leave a great because they are Christmas presents for my almost two year old grandson. I opened the games that I purchased to check them out. I was very happy with the concepts and quality for first games. The fruits in the First Orchard game are wooden and nice quality. They can be used in stages, sorting first and eventually playing the game. I cannot wait to give them to him. I may just need to break into a game or two early. Not sure I can wait till December.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from AMAZING This is the only game our 3.5 year old can play multiple times without growing bored. She adores it! We’ve had so many laughs and giggles, and the game pieces are perfect for little hands! They’re sturdy and satisfying to pickup. This has been a great first game to teach turns and rules, and we love that it’s cooperative! We always make a big Fuss whenever we roll a crow, it sets our toddler giggling and rolling. Thank you for the wonderful game and memories!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fun and Simple Game! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this game for my 2 year old daughter who loves apple picking and eating fruits. This game is a fun and simple game.Very few pieces too. They are nice and colorful. What's good is you play together as a team which is nice. You don't lose very often. I wish the basket when collecting the fruit was little bigger to hold all the pieces in. Even with that minor issue, still a great game for my daughter.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Great! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is one of the cutest first board games ever! Not to mention, it's super high quality! The game pieces are large and heavy...great for littles! My 2 year old son had so much fun with this game. I placed the fruit around the room and he loved going over to get the required fruit after rolling to die! We loved this so much, I also got one for my sisters toddler

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Game For Little Ones It is so hard to find games for a two year old. They either take to long to play or are not made well and get destroyed. That is not the case with this game. The cardboard is strong and the pieces are large and colorful. The rules are simple and the game can be completed quickly. My child loves it and we usually play it 2-3 times in a row. Thanks Haba for making games for younger children!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Such a fun game! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect game to engage with your child. It’s colorful, the pieces are big so you can’t really lose the pieces. My son had fun identifying the colors and shapes and the different fruits. Big enough for little hands to navigate during game play. The instructions are clear on how to play as well. Simple game, yet fun! It comes with a dye to roll, 4 yellow pears, 4 green apples, 4 red apples, and 4 blueberries. 4 cardboard tree pieces, and some for the path. A cute little raven too! My son was able to set up the game for us to play all by himself, after just playing 3 times. Great for kids wanting to be independent. The pieces are wooden, so they are pretty durable. It also comes with a basket for the fruit to be stored in. Everything fits nicely in the box, when it’s time to put it all away. Overall, fantastic first game for your little one(s). Highly recommend!

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fun game for smaller children [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this for my honest review and it was fun to play. I played with my mom and my son but he is a little to small to understand the concept of the game. The fruit is big enough for a younger child and I think he will enjoy it when he gets a little older. I would definitely recommend this place this.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect first board game! Our 2.5 year old LOVES this, I think it was the best gift of Christmas. We are a big board gaming family and love introducing games to our daughter. Unlike other games we've seen, the pieces are toddler-proof and we love there aren't any small pieces that get lost under a sofa, etc. Highly recommend, only wish we had bought this 6 months earlier.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from great game for little ones [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This game is not only cute but super easy to understand and play. The game really only takes a few minutes to play with two people and is easy to grasp even for the littlest ones. Heck my youngest even took to the game so well that he wanted to stop the raven from getting the fruit by himself.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best game to play with a toddler! My daughter absolutely loves this game. She is now 3, but we have been playing it a lot for the past 6 months or so. The rules are simple and easy to understand for a toddler. And it keeps her engaged and teachers her basic rules of playing a game- rules, taking turns, etc. I highly would recommend this for a kid around the age of 2 and older.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from not playing by the rules just yet but having fun! We bought this as an early birthday present for our almost 2-year old. She doesn't quite understand the rules yet, but she will make up her own game of sorting or putting the bird in time out. Yay for free play! The wooden pieces are a great size for little ones, as they're too big for the mouth but just perfect for their little hands.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Introduction to Board Games This was such a fun introduction to board games with our two year old. She grasped the concept very quickly and understood taking turns. She also had a blast trying to explain the rules to her grandparents when they were in town. I also love that the board and pieces are of high quality and can also be used in other forms of play.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for learning colors and counting! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 2-1/2 year old granddaughter was not interested in playing the game, but she loved organizing the different fruits. We can use the fruits for counting and colors. At some point we will encourage actually playing the game. Wonderful quality. I will buy more from this company.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for your littles [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this game for my 3 year old daughter, I love that it’s made with wooden pieces and not plastic making it last much longer & doesn’t wear easily. This game has helped her with knowing her colors and also helps with other skills like sharing. I definitely recommend it

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy for infants and toddlers to play [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy for infants and toddlers to play with. My 2 year old niece and my 3 year old daughter played their version of this game. They kept picking the fruit and carrying them around the house and pretend to eat it. Also helped them to count and learn counting.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect 1st game! We've been playing this game with my 2, now 3 year old granddaughter for a year now. She loves it! Sometimes we root for the raven -- haha. It teaches, colors, taking turns, moving game pieces by rolling a die -- even setting up and putting the game are valuable skills for a young child. Highly recommend.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great intro to board games for tots [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our two year old grasped the rules after a single game. She now pulls it off the shelf at least once a day to play. The colorful fruit is just the right size for little hands and she even enjoys feeding it to the crow when we “lose” the game.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic for toddler/preschooler I bought First Orchard for just my three year old who watches her older siblings play games a lot. She picked up the rules quickly and easily, will play it by herself or with me. She asks to play almost everyday. The chunky wooden components are beautiful and durable and make great toys.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great game My 3 year old loved this game. When we first opened it, we played 3 times in a row! I really think it will be useful in learning about turns and rules.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great game for little hands and minds Our little guy has enjoyed this game thus far. The wooden apples are a great size for little hands. I with the basket was made from a stronger material than cardboard but other than that it’s a great game. The concept of matching colors in this game is natural yet engaging.
