Children will develop their adding and subtracting skills and have fun talking about the interesting characters and places the bus stops along the way! Players take it in turns to turn over cards showing everyday items, from tomatoes to washing powder to pizza. It is also a great way to teach children about turn taking and encouraging communication by asking them to talk about their favourite food. Turn over the leaves to reveal the creepy crawly bugs hiding underneath, count them up and the player with the most bugs wins the round and begins to build their bug! Please note: I was sent this game by Orchard Toys (through MumsClub) to publish a fair and honest review.In this fun food-themed game, each player picks a chef board with a different recipe - from tacos to pizza - and matches the ingredient cards to their board. Match and Spell encourages letter recognition, teaches phonetic word building and promotes matching of pictures and words, from simple words like ‘cat’ to more complex four-letter words. Parents can use the sound and blend cards to encourage children to make the individual sounds as well as saying the entire word aloud.

Children learn through play and Match and Spell will help develop early reading and spelling skills. If a player lands on a feather square they can tickle another mammoth's trunk, which will make it sneeze and lose a sum from it's trunk! Encourages letter recognition, phonetic word building and matching of pictures and words in a really fun way that helps children learn! Using familiar and simple lotto gameplay, players identify healthy food and improve their memory skills as they race to fill their lunch box with tasty items!

If they land on a plus or minus square they solve one of their four addition and subtraction sums, then they can check their answers using the magic viewer. Sturdy, wipe-clean game and puzzle boards mean our products will stand the test of time against wear and tear and messy hands, ensuring they can be passed down through generations. The object of the game is to either match the letter cards to spell the word on the board, or if the child is more proficient with their phonics, they could have a go at spelling the words out themselves on the blank side of the board. As children get more familar with the letter sounds they will progress to reading the words out loud.

Our emphasis is on ‘learning made fun’, meaning parents can benefit from our trusted educational values whilst children will have so much fun they’ll want to play time and time again!Players will have lots of fun developing matching and memory skills and encouraging development of dexterity in this exciting 3D prehistoric game!
