Play and learning go hand in hand memory games are a good example of this. They help your child to better remember, recognise and distinguish motifs by finding the two pieces with the same motif.

The game is quick and easy and can be played alone or with others. The pieces are laid out on the table, face down, and you take turns to turn over two pieces. If the pieces have the same motif, you have a pair that you can keep. If the pieces are not the same, turn them back over and it is the next players turn. Its all about remembering where the pieces are the one who gets the most pairs wins the game.

If you need to make the game easier, you can play with just 10 pieces that fit together in pairs. Each piece is 6x6 cm and has rounded edges so you cant cut yourself on them. The game comes in a colourful storage box to keep the pieces in when youre not playing. Its easy to take with you on a trip, and all you need is an even surface to lay the pieces on.

The reversible game has been designed in Denmark and makes a lovely gift to take with you to a third birthday party, for example.
