Description
This set of 24 animal memory game pieces brings the Colourful Creatures design to a classic matching game for children. The box holds 12 pairs, each piece a bright round disc of card 6cm across and 0.2cm thick, printed with one of 12 cheerful animal faces. Among them are a tiger, a lion, a zebra, a toucan, a koala, a raccoon, a pelican and a crocodile, each drawn in bold, flat shapes against a pink, green, red, orange or blue background. Every piece shares the same back, a pastel flower pattern in pink, green, yellow and red, so a face-down disc gives nothing away. The whole game is plastic-free.
Lay every piece face down, take turns to turn two over, and keep any matching pair: it is the simplest of games, and a fun way to support children's cognitive development as they remember where each animal is hiding. We like it for a playroom shelf, a rainy afternoon at the kitchen table or a quiet round before bed with brothers, sisters, parents or grandparents. The game weighs just 0.11KG, so it slips easily into a bag for visits, holidays and waiting rooms, and the little square box takes up hardly any room on a bookcase.
Each disc is cut from card, with the bright print on one face, the flower pattern on the other and the plain card showing at the edge. Card and water do not mix, so wipe away sticky fingerprints with a barely damp cloth, dry the piece straight away and keep the set clear of drinks during play. Pop everything back into the box after each game; it is printed with the Colourful Creatures name and a parade of animals, so it looks cheerful left out on a shelf. For a child who loves animals, it makes a bright little present that earns its place in the toy box.
