Neighborhood Memory Game by Cranium Bloomapprox. $7.99 at Target
This is a fun and creative take on traditional memory games. Like most games we play, it is rated ages 3+, but we've adapted the game play so that Nicholas can play.
The rules:
This is basically a memory game. Only instead of finding two identical pictures, the pairs are made by finding the pieces that interlock to make a picture.
Our variation:
I put all the frame pieces on one side of our play space, and all the center pieces on the other side, all face up. Then we either take turns or just Nicholas finds the matches. Like I said, there isn't much of a game component, but it entertains Nick.
Skills:- visual discrimination
- logic
- concentration
- fine motor skills
- turn taking and memory, depending on how you play
The Good:
- a creative take on puzzles and memory games
- beautiful artwork
- kids can grow into the game
- game takes just long enough to keep a toddler's attention
The Bad:
- nothing much, except the box has a window cut out of it that is only useful while sitting on the shelf

You think Target would sell this one? Sounds like a good one for Liam!!
ReplyDeleteYes - in fact Target is the only store that carries some of the Cranium Bloom games.
