Crazy Cakes

Build cakes to match pattern cards.

Build a 12 layer cake to match the 12 layer cake on the pattern card. Pieces stack flat and slide slightly, as they are painted.  As the cake gets taller, the chances of it tipping become greater. A good way to practice a steady placement and graded release.  My game does not have the colored dots as shown on the picture above. Pieces have different colors on different sides.

Play with more than one person and see who can complete their cake first. That person collects the card. Play until one person has collected five cards to win the game.

One piece of Crazy Cake.

Try this:

• Pick up and stack 2 pieces at a time, one on top of the other and then bring them both at once to the cake and stack. 
• Look at the card, memorize 2-3-4 pieces, cover the card and build. Repeat until the whole cake is created.
• Un-stack the whole cake, one at a time, without knocking it over.
• Make your own cake and see how many pieces you can stack before it topples. 
• Pick up a piece and turn it in-hand until you get the color you need in the right position to place on the cake.
• Build it upside-down from the picture card. Then turn the card upside-down to check for accuracy.
• Build a cake with a verbal sequence and ask the individual to complete. For instance, build a cake with brown, pink, yellow, brown, pink, yellow, and then ask the individual to place the next three pieces.
• Work on visual discrimination, spatial relations, visual closure, visual memory, sequencing, figure ground, eye-hand coordination, manual dexterity, in-hand manipulation, graded release, executive functioning skills, socialization skills, process skills, play and leisure exploration and participation

In the box: 50 puzzle cards with a puzzle on each side, puzzle card stand, wooden slices of cake
