Every player gets an adorable little hedgehog who wants to dress up just like mom and dad. The race is on to be the first player to dress your hedgehog with seven leaves in the color that matches its glasses.

Will the player with the best memory win? A roll of the die instructs you to either pick a leaf (or 2) from the bag (with your eyes closed) OR you could roll a "wind".

When you pick your leaves, be sure to show everyone so they can see the colors on each side. If one color matches your glasses, place it in your hedgehog so that the matching color points up. If you don't have a match, you must place it in the hedgehog of another player with the color matching their glasses facing up.

Floor by floor, the fun gets steeper and steeper, until the heroic rhino reaches the top and the children win (or lose) together.

In playing the game together, you will be developing a range of abilities and skills. For example, powers of observation, grouping, fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, the understanding of gravity, and basic counting.
