Right before Esther and her family left us for Amsterdam, she gave us this Djeco game set (hoping that a present would keep our minds off the fact that they were moving away)! We LOVE it! (But still haven’t forgiven them for leaving…)

Ludamino consists of three different games in one box. Using the differently-sized cubes and cups, 6 animals and two dice, you can play either a memory game (hide the animals under the cups), a balancing game (stack everything up), or a circuit game (roll the die and move the animals along the cups).

Like all other Djeco toys, its bright colors and graphics make learning fun! My 2½-year-old plays with it every day (one game after the other)! It’s perfect for toddlers because it’s cute, simple and easy to play!

I love it because it’s a good way to engage my son (with something other than trucks and trains), my husband likes stacking everything up (which takes a bit of talent!), and the baby loves chewing on the animals! So we’re all happy…

Well, except that Esther and family are too, too far away! (tears…)
