Orchard Toys Bus Stop

Throw the dice and move your bus around the board, picking up or dropping passengers as you go.  The bus with the most passengers on when you get back to the bus station is the winner.

Great for practising basic addition and subtraction. 

Age suitability: 4-8 years old

2 - 4 players

 

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 still having fun.
