Help the crazy chefs make a meal in this tasty matching game!

Each player picks a chef board with a different recipe - from tacos to pizza - and matches the ingredient cards to their board. They must then spin the spinner to get their plate and wait for their meal to cook! Who will be the first to serve up a tasty treat?

The game can be used to get children interested in cooking by talking about the different ingredients and utensils, as well as foods from around the world.

Chunky wipe clean pieces, perfect for little hands to hold. The game board is made from at least 80% recycled material.

2-4 players. 3-6yrs.

Be the first to find all the bones to build your dinosaur!

Each player selects a pick colour which will be the colour of their numbered dinosaur pieces. Players then take it in turns to hook a dinosaur bone out of the playing board. If the colour on the number matches their pick colour, they can add the piece to their dinosaur body. If it does not, the piece is returned to the boggy swamp. But beware, if you hook a T-Rex card, you lose a piece of your dinosaur back to the swamp! The winner is the first player to complete their dinosaur.

Players will develop matching and memory skills and encourage development of dexterity in this exciting 3D game.
