This week in our #HomeschoolWithBoardGames: Charlie Mr. Bucket from Pressman is what Charlie has asked to play. Even though this Game is for children 3 and up its a little young for Charlie but we can still learn from this Game.
With Charlie helping watch Patyon and her struggling in school last year we’ve been working on reading with her. Which is why Charlie had choose to play Mr. Bucket this year.
Payton and Charlie will be able to go over her colors and we were able to use Mr. Bucket to help us with this. Payton and Jason used the balls to help them practice there counting.
If your like my family then you can see by using Mr. Bucket you can come up with many new and fun ways to use this game besides the way it’s supposed to be used. Charlie has even said Mr. Bucket could be used in place of a Easter Basket.
Get ready for buckets of fun with Mr. Bucket by Pressman Toy! Scoop up the balls that match your colored shovel and drop the balls into Mr. Bucket as he whirls and spins around the floor.
Watch out – Mr. Bucket will try to block your ball with his hands and will even spit the balls right back out of his mouth onto the floor, creating tons of laughter and fun!
Get all three of your colored balls inside Mr. Bucket first to win! Made with high quality materials, Mr. Bucket is the original moving chasing racing action game and will have kids up and moving around.
Can you scoop up all your color balls and place them back into Mr. Bucket before he pops them out again? For 2 to 4 players, ages 3 and up.
