According to Marc Shinderman, General Manager of Briarpatch, “The popularity of playing with baby dolls demonstrates that taking care of baby is a favorite pretend activity among preschool children. Briarpatch has incorporated this favorite play pattern into a sweet, simple game that embraces a child’s love and fascination for baby.”
In this sweet dream of a board game, each player selects a baby and carriage in pastel pink, blue, yellow, or green. On turn, players roll the rattle die and move their carriages down the path to beddy, while collecting a teddy bear, baby bottle and snuggly pajamas. But don’t be surprised if baby is sleepy, playful or fussy! The first player to enter the nursery with all of baby’s needs and snuggly tuck in baby wins the game. Like many Briarpatch games, no reading is required and up to 4 people can play — making this a delightful addition to family game night.
Each Beddy-Bye Baby boxed game comes with 48 playing cards including teddy bear, pajamas, baby bottle and Beddy-Bye illustrated cards; a game board, 4 baby carriage tokens and a die that sounds like a baby’s rattle when shaken. Complete game rules in the form of a booklet are included. Beddy-Bye Baby will be on retail shelves in Spring 2008 with a suggested retail price of $19.99. Ages 4 +, no reading skills required.
