Gift Idea: Dung Deck
Dung Deck is a card game for kids (Ages 8+) that introduces them to great photos and statistics about the dung from animals from around the world.
Two to eight players compete by playing a card and then trying to trump other player's cards on statistics such as Frequency, hardness, length, width, smelliness and yuck factor. The player with all of the cards at the end of the game wins.
Even though some of the animals aren't found in Canada (and some you wouldn't want to meet anyways!) it sure is a fun way to learn more on a subject that would ordinarily be avoided. Each card includes fun factoids about the animal, and the game will also give kids a greater appreciation and interest in the wildlife around them the next trip out into the outdoors.
You can contact Outset for a dealer near you that sells the game.
