Product Information
Full details
This educational game is designed for children aged 3-5 to enhance spatial awareness and vocabulary through a fun, garden-themed activity. Developed with a school teacher, it offers three progressive difficulty levels to support learning objectives. While it provides a great way for children to learn independently or with adult guidance, it's important to note that the game's complexity increases with each level, requiring adult supervision for younger children to fully grasp instructions.

How should I clean the game components?

Troubleshooting
Child is struggling to understand the concept of left/right.
Start with the simplest cards (fewest pieces). Use your own hands to demonstrate 'left' and 'right' from the child's perspective. Have the child point to their own left and right hands before placing game pieces.
Pieces are difficult to place on the board.
Ensure the wooden pieces are clean and dry. Check that the colored dots on the pieces and the board are aligned as per the example card. The pieces are designed for easy placement, so if there's resistance, re-check alignment.
Child loses interest quickly.
Keep play sessions short and focused, especially at first. Celebrate successes and offer gentle encouragement. Try incorporating the animal names into a story to make it more engaging. Alternate between playing independently and playing together.
