#39 A Balancing Act

How cute is this game?!
  
There seems to be 2 versions so I've pictured them both...

Master C loves Pandas but this toy has much more than that going for it.
It is marketed as being for ages 4 & up but as ever I think those age guides are mostly for Great aunt Doris types who needs help choosing a present for little Jack because she 'has no idea what kids are playing with these days". Master C has just turned 3 & I know he would love this.
The aim of the game, playing with 2-4 people, is to roll the die which tells you which of the 3 types of sticks to use & you then balance that stick on top of the panda. The more sticks on top the harder it is to balance, if they fall on your turn you are out. The last person left wins.

All the pieces ( 1x Panda, 24x Sticks & 1x Die ) are made from Bamboo & water based paint.
"Bamboo is a wonderfully sustainable material  as it is the fastest growing plant on earth & can grow up to 47 inches in 24 hours. It thrives naturally without fertilizer or pesticides & it doesn't require replanting since it regenerates from it's own roots."

Pandabo is available from various online stores, mostly priced at $24.95 but the best price I have found is on Amazon from Bamboo Collection at $20.
