Sinterklaas and the Pieten arrived safely in the Netherlands again, just a few days ago. High time for a good conversation with the mini monsters. Have they already thought about the upcoming festivities? Do they already know what they would like to ask Saint Nicholas for?
Besides an Iphone, Nintendo Switch or a new Ipad? It must of course be doable for Sinterklaas, he will bring presents to all the little mini-monsters in the Netherlands. That our little monsters understand completely! Luckily they love boardgames just as much.
Therefore, here is our Top 5 of (board)games (in no particular order) that the mini monsters put on their whish lists last year!
One of our best games is Shaped Memory Match Octopuses. No wonder, it's designed by Owen Davey. From the age of 4, with 2 or more players, the mini-monsters can play it very well by themselves. They remember much better than we do. The game goes very well!
A beautiful game from Haba is Orchard. Orchard is a very special game because you don't play against each other, but together against the bird. Of course he also likes fruit! If you have won together from the bird, it will of course be compared who has picked the most fruit! From 3-6 years (Here 5 up to and including 7 years) with 1 to 8 players.
The Human Body Quartet Game is a fun and educational game for children aged 6 and up. The game has extra large cards with lots of fun facts (always a success) and the monsters learn a lot from it! You play it with 2 to a maximum of 4 players and we have a lot of fun with it!
Last but not least game on our list is Montessori Animals by Italian company Clementoni. Actually, this is not a board game but a playful learning method based on Maria Montessori. Although you can easily play with this with several children, it is actually learning through play. For kids aged 3-6.
Finally an extra tip for a Sinterklaas gift: not a boardgame but a beautiful creative Sint present to play with
Bug Stamps are beautiful wooden stamps with body parts of insects. This way you can compose insects yourself, according to your fantasy or according to reality. There is a 2-colour stamp pad (black and yellow) and a booklet with examples included. The monsters have a lot of fun with the stamps!
Wishing you a Happy Sinterklaas time!
