 My 3 year old loves this game!Jun 26, 2011
By Seattle Mommy
My 3 year old loves this game, and I do too! The concept was really easy for him to understand (help the mama chicken get her baby chicks back to the coop) and he caught on right away. I love how this game teaches counting and, unlike most board games, is based on cooperative play. My 3-year-old is going through a stage where he always wants to be the winner which means everyone else has to be the "losers"--but not with this game. This game teaches him that not everything is about competition and sometimes it's more important to just try to work together. The bright colors, cute graphics and environmentally friendly materials were an added bonus. Highly recommend this game as well as another one by Peaceable Kingdom, Hoot Owl Hoot. Both are great for the 3+ age range.

Its my new favorite game Mama!-Says my 2 1/2 year old daughterApr 19, 2011
By Alexandra I. Smith
Can we give a rating of 10 stars! We absolutely love this game. We bought this game after seeing it at our favorite toy story in Maine and we played it as soon as we got home. My daughter loves playing this game. We love the counting, the colors, and LOVE the fact that there is a tractor in the game.(like her Papa's tractor!) I am a first grade teacher and the skills that this game is teaching, one to one counting correspondence, directionality, adding, and one less is taught in my room and its amazing to see that my 2 1/2 year old is beginning to learn. My daughter is now telling EVERYONE that her new favorite game ever is Count Your Chickens.
The customer service with the Peaceable Kingdom is amazing. I believe that I was missing a few chicks when we opened the box. I emailed the company right away and I got a response plus an extra surprise within a few hours. They told me that the extra chicks are on their way! The surprise was if we were to write a review for Amazon, we would get a game sent to the school of our choice! Thank you so much for your time Donna and I have already purchased Lost Puppies. We should be getting it tomorrow!
Your cooperative games are fun and amazing! Thank you again for the hours of fun. We are looking forward to more games!
Signed- Happy 2 1/2 year old girl and a super happy Mama!

 So much fun!Aug 09, 2011
By C
This game is so cute! I love the concept of the baby chicks being on the loose and the mama hen needs to collect them and put them safely back in the coop. My 7 year old nephew couldn't wait to get as many baby chicks back into the coop as he could. He completely got the concept and didn't feel like it was too young for him. Set up is really easy and the instructions are easy to understand.

Great First Game!Oct 12, 2011
By AFB
My daughter is three and has shown an interest in playing games but is still too young to completely understand the concept. What I love about "Count Your Chickens" is that it reinforces the skills she is currently learning - counting, matching and working together. I love that we can sit down together and play as a team. It is a great way for me to help her learn in a fun way.
Another great thing about this game is it is a nice size. We can sit down and play at the table and have everything right there. And then pack it up easily to take to a friend's house. And easy to store.
She also loves the graphics - what child does not love farm animals! Colorful, bright and adorable!
This is my first experience with a cooperative game and I love it! It makes so much sense at this age!!! I have seen many kids throw in the towel when they start to lose a board game - so my hat is off to Peaceable Kingdom - great idea!
My daughter asks to play this game every day! I should also add that it does not take long to play so that also is a plus. We can sit down for 15 minutes and play -- which for her age is a perfect amount of time.
I definitely plan to get more games for myself and for friends and family! You will not regret this game! It is great!

Love Count Your Chickens!Sep 15, 2011
By Mom of 3 (Walnut Creek, CA)
This game has such endearing illustrations. My 3-year old loves holding the cute baby chick pieces and counting them out. It is the perfect game length for my little one's attention span. My 8-year old and 6-year old enjoy playing it too! This game is a great introduction to board games for little ones! I love the fact that it's a team effort and there are no losers. There are often hurt feelings when my kids play competitive games. Not so with Count Your Chickens! I would recommend it to anyone with young children.
