Tested by Orchard Barns Private Kindergarten, Colchester

'Both puzzles were very challenging for the three- to four-year-old age group and the children needed adult support to put them together. However, the games were excellent for sequencing, numeracy and language and literacy. The four- to four-and-a-half-year-olds worked together as a team and were able to complete the Find It 123 puzzle. They were really engaged in the task and loved talking about the different sea creatures and pirates in the picture. They also enjoyed matching the numbers to the game cards provided. The Search and Learn Jungle game was a really useful literacy activity. When we put the puzzle together the children loved working out which animals matched the cards with clues like, 'Which animal has a long neck?'. The puzzle pieces are solid, large and safe and we would definitely consider buying them.'
