I need rules for some childrens board games?

Can anyone help please?
Yesterday I bought a couple of childrens board games at a jumble sale, in very good condition, 2 with all the small parts still in sealed bags! Bargains :j
Trouble is NONE of them have rules in :rolleyes:

They are all for small kids so I expect they won't be difficult to play, but it would be nice to know what we are doing .

The games are:

Ali Baba = Tomy

Sally the sunflower = MB

Honey bee tree = ELC

Does anyone have any of the games? If so can you help me out with the rules please?
Thanks in advance
LL

    The honey bee tree is like Ker Plunk and I found these instructions for it:-

    Gently pull the leaves out of the tree and try not to let any of the cute little bees fall. The winner is the player with the least bees in the tray when none are left in the hive. For 2 to 4 players. Ages 3+

    Ali Baba is like Buckaroo:-

    Try your luck to load up this grumpy camel with all essential items you need for your journey.
    Take care as this ship of the desert can only take so much.
    Don't be the 1 to upset him bucking through the desert, with all your gear flying.
    For 2 or more players.
    For ages 4 years and over

    And finally, Sally the Sunflower:-

    Manufacturer's Description
    Be the first player to place all your bees on the giant sunflower. With the power of magnets, not all the bees will stick and Sally the sunflower will move away.
    Share out the bees between those playing. There are ten bees in total but if there are three players just use nine of them. The youngest player starts. Take it in turns to try to place one of your bees on Sally's face. If you pick a spot that attracts - bingo. If you pick a spot that repels your particular bee, Sally's face will spin away from you and your turn is over. Once you only have one bee left you have to try to stick your last bee to Sally's nose. If the correct attraction is there you win, otherwise the nose will flip over and you need to wait until it is your turn again.

    Hope you and your children have fun with these games Lillie!

    That's the easy bit.................. There are some little cards in the box with pics of the items to put on the camel.
    How do I deal them out use? Pic ones may self explain, but the number ones have me baffled.

    Ok Lillie...here you go!

    This is a game for two or more players over the age of four.
    The Bucking Camel with the wobbly head is pushed down (this might need an adults help) into a kneeling position. The players then select a card from the pile. This tells them which of the 15 little plastic items to hang on the camels saddle. The cards give you points, tell you to miss a go or give you bonus points. Each player adds another item until the load is too heavy or the player didn't load the item with enough care, because when that happens....Boing!! the Camel bucks and Ali and his baggage goes flying, much to everyone's delight. You count up the points and the player with the most points is the winner.

    This is a fun game for children and adults (even toddlers enjoy looking on). It encourages hand to eye coordination, early maths skills and of course, co-operation with each other and waiting your turn, which doesn't seem so bad when you are concentrating on the other players efforts. --Sue Bennett-Snewin

    Thank you again so much.
    I can't wait till my gs's come round again, I think they will both love it.
    They won't understand the rules yet but I don't want to teach them the game and when they get older change all th rules, not very consistent.

    I thought the rules for all childrens games & puzzles were the same.

    Open boxes
    Tip half the small pieces down the back of the sofa
    Mix the rest of the pieces up & put them back in the wrong boxes

    :D

    Ahhh you forgot the one very important rule: find any small sharp pieces and leave them on the floor for mummy to tread on- making mummy look like a demented elephant :rolleyes:

    That's why I need the right ones :D
    In our house your rules are similar, but after tipping out all small parts its .....................play with the boxes!
