Free Toddler Entertainment Kit

So. I wanted to teach Lu to play a game, and the one thing she's pretty good at are colors. So, Candyland was an obvious choice. Except for the whole candy thing—I'm personally pro candy, but at the moment, Lu asks for a piece of chocolate every morning first thing upon waking. I thought maybe Candyland wasn't, therefore, the best choice. So instead we're now playing Veggie World. It's simpler than Candyland in that it's all about drawing cards and moving to the next color (I didn't want to try to explain "missing a turn" or "going back to start" to her ... that just seemed to invite tantrums). Just in case you have to entertain a toddler at some point in the future, here's Veggie World for your own enjoyment. :)

Thanks! I've never been a big fan of candyland since they made the board different. The veggie alternative rocks but our color ink is out:( I'm going to go look for our candyland cards...

I love it! You are the only person I know who would create such a game.

Just in case anyone else is looking for things like this, I like this site just because there's a wide variety of free things to print and do with kids, including coloring pages, crafts, and more. I like the worksheets for the shapes, numbers, colors, and letters.

okay - I messed up the link the first time, so I'm trying it again:
