My Very First Games - First Orchard
This game can be played solo or together. Â
The goal is to collect all the fruit in the basket before the cheeky raven swoops in and steals it. When you play together, teamwork is the key to winning.
There’s no text in the game, so no reading skills are needed. The rules are in English to help you get started.
Roll the die to see if you get to pick a piece of fruit and place it in the basket — or if the raven moves one step closer to the trees.Â
1–4 players. Game time: around 10 minutes
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for children aged 2 yrs. to 5 yrs.With clear and defined rules, dice games, card games, and board games are clear and defined activities without major negotiation with others. Many children find it a nice relief to immerse themselves in a game with clear rules as a break from free and wild play with their friends at school or kindergarten.
Moreover, playing games gives your child an opportunity to learn to cope with losing a game. We recommend not letting your child win every single time you play. Learning how to cope with defeat in safe surroundings with you helps make children robust and resilient. After all, you won't be there to protect your child from disappointment and defeat later in life when they are on their own.
Supports essential skills that really benefit your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- Develops your child's ability to collaborate, which is an essential skill in all social settings.
- Strengthens social skills, which, according to early years educators, are more important for children to practise than learning letters and numbers.
