The Melissa and Doug sound puzzles sell well for us in the shop in Lyme Regis. They certainly bring a smile to those adults who can't resist trying them out.

There is a little light sensor underneath each piece.  When a piece is lifted, the sensor is activated.  Replacing the piece starts the sound.  It takes two AAA batteries which are not included. Handy Off switch on the back.

This puzzle will bring out the Tarzan in everybody over a certain age.

On this puzzle, each puzzle piece has its own different sound. So you can hear the microwave in the kitchen, the boy doing the  hoovering in the sitting room, the car revving in the garage...

A simple matching and memory game.  Each player has a board with 6 dinosaur pictures on.  The picture cards are placed faced downwards on the table.  Players take it in turn to pick a card.  If it matches one of the pictures on their card, they keep it.  If not, the card is returned to the table face downwards and it's the next player's turn.

The winner is the one who completes their dinosaur board first.

Orchard Toys is a Norfolk-based company designing and making their games in-house. They have been going for years and have a reputation for producing good, honest games which are both fun and educational.  All the games are fully tested by teachers and of course by children so they are totally safe and dependable.

Most of the games are aimed at the 3-6 year olds.  To an adult the games will inevitably seem somewhat simplistic but they really know that age group so I never have any hesitation about recommending them.  Obviously children develop at different rates so some children may not be able to follow the instructions at first but that doesn't seem to matter as they enjoy playing with the colourful cards.  As the child develops, it isn't long before they fully appreciate the game and they benefit from the educational aspects whilst enjoying themselves.
