Snakes, ladders and Numicon

Give this one a go... It looks like a lot of fun. We thought this looked so good we have created our own version of the game  (see the images below).

The usual 1-100 snakes and ladders takes too long to play for my three year old daughter, so I made this cut down version based on the Numicon number line.
 
We use toys from a Noah's Ark set as the counters, since these are easier to handle than the usual flat counters. I drew the spaces on the board big enough to take small toys, and we use the Numicon spinner from the Firm Foundations Kit instead of dice.
