You don't know how to inspire your kids to play chess and checkers? Kids told you that these games are not interesting and boring?

We found the way how to increase kid's interest in playing those ancient and exciting games!

Kids are not interesting in capturing of wood or plastic pieces. They want capture and eat them!

So buy them confectionery Chess and Checker games ( 2 in 1 ) with edible pieces and let them to enjoy these games. ( Patent pending)

You will get :

- box with chess pattern on the top

- 32 foil-wrapped coins representing all chess pieces ( each coin contains 3 grams of milk chocolate). Reusable stickers with printed images of recognizable chess pieces are attached to the one side of coins. Other side of coins covered with colored stickers ( red and black ) to play checkers.

- booklet with chess and checkers rules for kids

Kids would sac a Queen for a pawn, just so they could munch on the chocolate.  Doesn't make sense to me.

May be you forgot you childhood :-)

Kids always want to win, especially if winner gets all residue pieces after checkmate. For them to checkmate the opponent is not so exciting, but catch more pieces and eat them is real fun.

Can't get your kids to go to school? How about a trail of candy from your door to the classroom!

The kids won't clean their room? How about a room made of candy!

Are your children constantly talking back? Fill their sassy mouths with candy!

Actually, this guy already used chocolate to inspire his little brother to play chess.
