River Crossing Junior
Challenge your sequential-thinking skills with ThinkFun games!
Now the junior version of River Crossing is here, and like the adult version, it's sure to be a hit. Youngsters will have a ball moving from plank to plank and rearranging their woodsy walkways between stumps to safely cross the lagoon without falling in...all while developing critical cognitive skills. Rescuing a cat that's stranded on a deserted island or securing a safe passageway across the water to meet up with a friend is a lot trickier than it sounds.
Hours of fun await young minds that love a challenge in this all-new Lagoon Adventure where sea turtles, manga rays, and octopi dart and dodge under goot. Makes a great came for car trips, too.
