Description
This dinosaur memory game from the Prehistoric Land range sets out twelve pairs of prehistoric creatures, ready to be turned face down and matched. There are 24 round card pieces in all, each 6cm across and 0.2cm thick, with 12 dinosaur designs so that every piece has a twin. Each face carries a detailed illustration on a soft green, yellow, pink or pale blue circle, with the creature's name printed on a small label, from Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus to Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus and Triceratops. The backs share a pale cream finish with a white fossil skeleton pattern, so no piece gives itself away while it lies face down.
Play is easy to pick up: lay every piece face down, turn over two at a time and look for a matching pair. It is a fun way to support children's cognitive development, as players try to remember where the Pterodactyl or the Carnotaurus was hiding a few turns ago. We think it suits a quiet game at the kitchen table, a rainy afternoon in the playroom or a family evening in the living room, and because everything packs back into its own small box, it is easy to take along to a grandparent's house or on holiday.
The pieces are made from card and the whole game is plastic-free, which makes it a good pick for families trying to cut down on plastic toys. The complete game weighs just 0.11KG, so it is light to carry and easy for small hands to manage. Card and water do not mix, so keep the pieces dry, wipe them with a soft dry cloth if they need it, and gather them back into the box after each game so none go astray. Ready to wrap, the printed box with its bold Tyrannosaurus makes a cheerful present for a child who loves dinosaurs.
