• going quackers: international playthings where’s the duck?

    Week Two of summer vacation and believe me, the novelty is starting to wear off. Since the weather hasn’t exactly been cooperating, we’ve been making trips to the library instead of the beach (at this rate, my 5-year-old will be polishing off “War and Peace” any day now…). Lucky for us, we managed to schedule a short road trip over the long holiday weekend, and that means packing a bag of goodies for the car that will keep two little ladies entertained and occupied (and me from having to say, “Don’t make me come back there!”). We recently got our hands on Where’s the Duck?, a new card game for ages 3 and up that’s easy to play and great for on-the-go. The object is straightforward: match up animal cards into pairs, and the player left holding the duck card wins. Right from the start, my 5-year-old got the hang of playing this and kept her eyes peeled for a flash of yellow. Her older sister got a chance to demonstrate her big girl skills by acting as the dealer, and we sang silly songs like “The Farmer in the Dell” and “Old MacDonald” after a few rounds to keep things moving. Yes, I’ll even croon some tunes if it’ll keep my kids from clobbering each other.

    In a Nutshell: If you’re looking to break out something new when “I Spy” has run its course, make some room in your bag for this portable game.
