I had been a consultant for three days before I was able to unpack my box and look through all the products that came in my kit. My two boys wanted to play all the games but since there are only 24 hours in a day, they each got to pick one.
Liam, who is 3 years old, chose "Share A Berry!"
I have to admit that I wasn't sure what to expect. I guess I was expecting a game similar to "Hi, Ho, Cherry-O" and was pleasantly surprised to find out this game offers much, much more.

Each player has a path. The berry path cards have numbers along with + signs to indicate the amount of berries that player gets to remove from the main berry basket and add to your berry string. When it's your turn, you flip the tile over and add the number of berries indicated on the card to your berry string. Everyone has a small basket to put their berries in while stringing. That way you don't have to go chasing berries!
After each player has turned over all the berry tiles, the river path tiles are next. Each of the river path tiles have numbers, - signs and a bear that is facing left or right. When it's your turn, you flip the tile over and subtract the number of berries indicated on the card and pass it to the person who is sitting in the same direction the bear is facing.
After everyone has taken turns flipping over the berry tiles and adding berries and flipping over the river path tiles and subtracting berries, the player with the most berries on their berry string wins!
You can each count the berries on the string or you can line the strings up and measure who has the most berries.
Both boys enjoyed this game but it was Liam's favorite. I was amazed when he independently recognized all the numbers.
Matthew enjoyed more of the adding and subtracting.
He also counted by twos to add his berry string up.

It's fun to "Share a Berry!"
Players take turns flipping over their 4 Berry Path tiles, collecting the number of strawberries shown from the Big Berry Basket and threading them onto their string.

It's fun to "Share a Berry!"
