Hidden Valley Ranch Veggie Adventures

I’ve never really had a problem with my children eating their vegetables but I know lots of people with children that do. Some don’t like certain colors, others don’t like tastes. I’m sure that to a child, a parent touting the benefits of eating vegetables is, at best, lip service. After all, most children are fairly sure that they know more than we adults at one point or another.

The folks over at Hidden Valley Ranch (they make that yummy ranch dressing!) wanted to help increase knowledge about and foster a love for vegetables so they created an online game called Veggie Adventures. Not a bad idea since, according to MomCentral, as much as 60 percent of parents play computer games with their kids. Hidden Valley Veggie Adventures is a game that is played in three stages.

“At the farm” is the first stage and it’s about growing vegetables and protecting them from bugs and small animals. The most vegetables CJ and I were able to grow was 73. We might have been able to grow more if I hadn’t have been shooting water at the cow.

“On the road” is the second stage and it’s about delivering the vegetables. You have to keep your vegetables in the truck while you steer to avoid potholes and small animals.  We have played this stage twenty times now and while we’ve gotten close we have run out of time each time we played and haven’t finished it yet.

“In the kitchen” is the third stage and I can’t see what goes on there yet. We’ll keep trying.  CJ yells out excitedly at just about everything so it’s a lots of fun playing with him and that’s what it’s all about.

Thanks to MomCentral for a heads up on this fun game!
