About this deal
The quality of the product is outstanding. The cards are chunky and well made and the box they come in equally robust and solid. The bright and colourfully designed cards are appealing to look at, easy to handle - even for little hands - and are most importantly easy to clean if needed. I also like that this is a British made product. The best thing about Orchard Toys Farmyard Heads and Tails is that it can be used for individual play or as a game with up to three other players. As a mum, this is great, as it can be used to keep little ones occupied on their own or with others. It's very educational with demonstrating matching. You can also encourage children to voice the animal noises, so it's fun for them also. For example, if a child wants to play with cars but can't yet reach them without climbing up on furniture or standing on boxes, then consider purchasing an attachment that allows them to play with cars without having to stand up or climb up things.
In late 2016, Farmyard Heads and Tails won a Bronze award in the prestigious Mother & Baby awards in the 'Best Toddler Toy Under 24 Months' category. Mix and match heads and tails in the Orchard Toys Farmyard Heads and Tails Game. The 24 chunky cards make up 12 colourful farmyard friends, sized just right for little hands to puzzle together.I think it would be useful to include a mini poster within the box which has all the animals on to show what the cards should look like once they have been matched up. This would help particularly younger ones to know what they are looking for. I think the pictures on the box are just a little bit too small for some children, particularly younger ones, to identify from. Tested by mum Jacqueline Floyd for the M&B Awards 2017: Orchard Toys Farmyard Heads and Tails can be used easily both at home and when travelling. The colourful pictures keep toddlers entertained for hours. Younger children can even use them in their highchair while mum rushes to prepare a meal. This product is one that children will use time and time again and not tire of. Featuring twelve friendly farm characters and objects to match, Farmyard Heads & Tails encourages observational and memory skills whilst introducing very young children to the concept of turn-taking! Young children will love the bold and colourful illustrations, and the large, chunky cards are ideal for little hands. I loved that I could play this with my daughter and it was a great game for us to spend time with each other and for me to teach her about the different animals. My daughter also enjoyed playing this alone and would spread the cards out along the floor to match these up so it would keep her entertained for quite some time. They were easy to transport too as the box is very durable. For example, if you are buying a toy for a toddler that is too advanced, they may get bored and turn to other activities while they wait for the toy to be played with. Thus, early learning toys are appropriate for toddlers, instead of too complex toys.
