Orchard Toys Game of Ladybirds
This is a game for 3-6 year olds designed to encourage matching and counting skills.
The cards are laid with the spots face up on the table. The first player rolls the dice and picks up and keeps the card with the same number. On the other side of the card is a leaf and possibly a ladybird or two. The next player then takes their turn. The game ends when all the cards have been taken and the winner is the person who has accumulated the most ladybirds.
Made of sturdy cardboard.

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.

Three options:
1) Postage by Royal Mail's Tracked 48 service which aims to deliver parcels in two working days. Our post office is shut on Mondays and Sundays, so we don't ship on those days.
2) Evri delivery to one of their parcel shops. Please use this service if you are not going to be in to meet the postie or you have not got a safe place for the postie to leave your parcel.
3) Pick up from our shop in Lyme Regis. Free but please give us a couple of hours after ordering before coming in.
We try to reuse as much packaging as possible. Your parcel will be securely packed but probably not very elegantly.
In theory, everything available to buy on this website is in stock. We are however a very small shop and we try to stock a huge range. This means that we will rarely have more than one or two of each toy or clothes size in stock. Occasionally though we do get orders and we can't find the items. Often it is my fault, having I made a mistake when checking goods on arrival into the shop or when stocktaking but sadly we are also noticing more items simply missing from the shelves.
So please accept our apologies if you order something and we can't fulfil your order. The website is set up so that we don't actually take your money until after we fulfil your order. You will not pay for anything we don't have.
