I think I will change the game to the following:
The faces are distributed at the beginning and each player gets one (or two) faces - depending on how many players. The aim of the game is to fill the faces with a mouth, two eyes, a nose and hair (and maybe ears if you like). You have to assign certain colours for the part of the face - like red for mouth, white for eyes, brown for hair ... One colour will be a pass - the person is not allowed to take anything. You can also add a joker - this colour would mean that the person can pick one thing he/she likes or needs. If you play with the joker you will have no ears in the game. I think it will help to put down the colours with a picture of the body part that they stand for on a letter sized paper ... so the child can have a look after he/ she rolled the dice and will see what the colour on the dice means.
I think this way the game kinda makes more sense to adults ;-) (which my daughter won't care about!) and you can play it a bit longer. Also since you can make as many faces as you want and are not limited to four anymore - more people can play! To make it even harder you could leave out the colours completey and use the numbers on the dice and assign these to certain parts of the face. But I think that is only suitable for children a bit older - younger children probably get too frustrated with that.
Well, I hope this was not too confusing. If it didn't make sense or anything is unclear - just ask! :-) And if you have any suggestions for games for little children (my daughter is three) - please tell me!
